@Tim JohnsonThere are essentially two ways (and a few variations) to purchase this deal, depending on how the owners are selling it:As a going concern:  In this instance you are buying the business, so it is the business you evaluate: assets, liabilities, revenues (historical: 3 - 5 years), operating costs (historical: 3-5 years), future financial projections, goodwill, etc.
