The Difference is The Goodwill..
When you buy a business you buy it at a price the owner is selling it at.
there is also and extra charge and this charge is known as goodwill.
you are taking advantage of the business's product and customer base that already exists because of the previous owners hard work and dedication
I Hope This helps.. :)

ya thats right the answer is goodwill, just remember this formula (my teacher gave it to me), Goodwill = Purchase Price - Net Assets
