I agree with the notion that buying is better than starting up.
Why -
I have spent a lot of time helping budding entrepreneurs try to start business from scratch using borrowings from banks and development finance institutions. Invariably the rejection is linked to proven sales and questions around the business model and when will the business breakeven.
Conversely -
I have struggled with buying of existing businesses because reaching an acceptable valuation. The seller is usually over optimistic over the future of the business (most sales are made under duress) and the buyer trying to get the lowest the price possible.
However -
Overall, it is definitely easier to convince a funder to lend for the purchase of an existing business as there is a proven client base, business model (albeit that it needs fine tuning), financial records and cashflow.

So, I look forward to helping you with the next business investment you are making.

Team work! Team work! At some in my early work career I began to think to succeed one must push your singular agenda. Now...
*Wealth Creation and Networking*

When a newspaper reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Maize each year he entered his maize in the Agricultural Show, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed with his neighbours.
Amazed, the reporter asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed with your neighbours when they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?”
The farmer smiled knowingly and explained, *“The wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize.*If I am to grow good maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop."*

So it is with our business, those who want to succeed in business must help empower others.
*Your success is largely determined by the success of fellow members within your team.*
Call it power of collectivity.
Call it a principle of success.
Call it a law of life.
The fact remains, “None of us truly wins, until we all win.”
Know this secret as you go,
*In networking when you help the people around you to be good, you surely become the best.*
