The magic of a roll up strategy- How to Buy a Business

 

‘Just do a roll up strategy’

I spent some time with a ‘zero-down guru refugee’ a few months ago.

They were broke, had no money and had been told that the secret to becoming rich would be a two-step process:

1.      Find ‘the right’ deal which could be acquired with no money.

2.      Execute a roll up strategy and become an industry consolidator.

Great plan.

Roll up strategies are real.

They’re done by savvy investors.

What exactly is it though?

Myths about small business #1. How valid are cliches about business?

 

David and Hugh tackle Small Biz Myths #1

This summer I asked viewers to send in small business myths they wanted me to challenge, tackle or otherwise comment on.

I had my assistant and Bishop’s University Business student, Hugh, sort them out and we’ve organized them into three different videos.

It’s a lot of fun!  This week we tackle the myths around hard work, planning, and passion.

Q2 2020 IBBA Report video- What's the Covid SmallBiz market like?

 

Who CARES about the IBBA Q2 2020 report?

I’m not trying to be mean.

I mean they left out the likely impact of the US CARES Act on the smallbiz marketplace.

This week, I take a look at the Q2 2020 IBBA MarketPulse report and look at what seems to be happening regarding delays, dealflow, pricing and terms being reported by the industry’s most reputable brokers.

I also talk about why I don’t think some market predictions have come to pass exactly as, um predicted.

Government market manipulation!

Regardless of your opinion on what governments have done because of Covid, their actions are certainly having an impact on the market for small businesses.

Do subscription businesses with recurring billing actually sell for more?

 

The phone company rep, cable guy and gym owner walk into a bar….

Who doesn’t like to make one sale and get paid over and over again?

As a young man, I even considered a career in insurance because of two magical words- recurring revenues.

Your insurance agent gets paid every year for the insurance policy you bought a long time ago.

Sweet for them!

But, do businesses that feature recurring revenues sell for more money than those who don’t?

We need to examine the customer journey and ask ourselves- Is the sale really only made once?

Recurring revenue may also mean recurring selling.

Here’s my advice for anyone dreaming of dinging someone’s credit card each and every month…: https://youtu.be/HYw-bDuBzkc
