Determine how many people you will be transporting on average on each trip. This information will help you determine the seating capacity you need for your small jet.
Evaluate how many miles you want to fly with one shot without refueling. Some have a shorter range of under 1,000 miles, while other small jets have a range over 2,000 miles.
Decide if you want to buy a new or used small jet. You can buy a well-maintained used VLJ for half the price of a new jet. A new jet is going to cost a lot, but if you don't want to have any worries about past maintenance issues, you may want to buy a new VLJ.
Contact an aircraft broker (see Resources below). A jet broker can be found by conducting a search on the Internet or by looking up the nearest FBO (fixed base operator). Someone at the FBO can refer you to the appropriate broker for your needs.
