B) Having an existing customer base would make doing business easier, because they could count on a relatively reliable source of revenue right away. If an existing small business has debts or other difficulties that Short and Shearer would inherit, this would weaken the case for buying it. If Short and Shearer value independence, this means they should be entrepreneurs, but it would not strengthen the case for their buying an existing business over starting their own. If they have a lot of business ideas, this does not strengthen the case for buying an existing business, although it would strengthen the case for them starting a new business of their own.
