Can I try to get my money back for a business that I bought 2 months ago, no contract was signed

You have provided few facts on which to base a response. But as a general rule, contracts do not need to be in writing to be final and binding, and a court will likely uphold the purchase absent fraud or mutual mistake.

If you purchased the business based upon the seller's fraudulent misrepresentation, you may have a right to damages. But you will need to show that you reasonably relied on the misrepresentation to succeed. A failure to properly and fully review the books and other aspects of the business may damage a fraud claim.

Of course, absent fraud, you may demand damages for breach of contract, if you can adequately document the provisions that were violated. You may also seek rescission of the contract (i.e., the contract is unwound and both parties returned to the state they were in before the purchase). Rescission can also be accomplished by agreement, if the other party is willing to retake possession of the business.

Without more facts it would be difficult to answer. However, just becuase you do not have a written contract does not mean that you did not enter into an oral contact. If you were someway mislead or deceived into buying into this buisness you will have a cause of action. You need to find an attorney in your area to help you fluch all of the issues out.
