The one thing a turnkey business provides is a proven model that is working. You are not starting a new business along with all the challenges it will bring, including failure. Granted any business can fail, but a turnkey business gives you a better chance to continue the operation and grow.
What is a Turnkey Business?
The definition of a turnkey business is a business that is ready to run as soon as you purchase it. It is based on the concept you only have to turn the key to unlock the doors and begin operations. The only thing you have to focus on is managing the ongoing operations of the business.
A turnkey business should have a business model in place with defined products and services. This can include everything from franchises to a single established business.

Make sure you do the due diligence on the business. It would also be wise to identify something that you will bring to the business that improves performance. (and you have my sympathy about the crazy interest rates you’ll probably pay on the financing)
