Are you an idiot according to Wayne? How to Buy a Business




I got a great piece of feedback the other day on YouTube.

Wayne tells me that ‘any idiot’ can put a deal together to buy a business without using their own money otherwise ‘leveraged buy outs’ would not exist.

This week I’ll explain to you what a leveraged buy out is, how it works, and we’ll see if a person with no money could actually pull it off.

I know that you’re all anxious to find out if you’d be an idiot under Wayne’s definition.
It’s all in this video right here: https://youtu.be/UrBLOtRY0OI

Private loans to community groups- Invest Local Private Deals



Ian has an opportunity to lend money to a not-for-profit community group.  Is this a good idea and what about security, foreclosure, etc?

I’ve had the chance to be involved with a few situations which involved community groups borrowing money, some worked out ok, some did not.

Direct lending can create a great opportunity for returns, but only if you’re prepared for all the things that could go wrong and you’ve prepared yourself properly.

Learn more in this video where I talk about my experiences with community groups borrowing money: https://youtu.be/_OYrCpPW004

City Zoning Rules Drama- Don't get distracted from what is important in your Small Business- SmallBiz Management


I’ve heard that you can’t fight city hall.

I’ve never tried.  I believe in keeping light on your feet and moving fast.

When I had a conversation with the owner of a small manufacturer, I was reminded why I often advise businesses to lease property instead of owning.  It gives you more flexibility.

This guy had a problem with zoning and needed help so he could mortgage the building and get operating capital.

My red flags went up and within a few questions I had identified the real problem… one he was working hard to avoid.

As one of my favourite authors, Ayn Rand, once said, ‘you can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.’

Learn more in this story I tell about the businessman so concerned about zoning that he forgot why he was in business: https://youtu.be/lwORvoJ_xeY

What is debt-service coverage ratio and why does the banker care?



A YouTube viewer asked me, ‘…when my banker says that the business is overpriced and the debt-service coverage ratio doesn’t work, what does it mean and should I just try other banks?’

Basically, bankers are concerned that there is enough cash left after expenses to make their loan payments... plus a little extra for unforeseen expenses. Pretty good idea, eh?

So how can an owner ask so much for a business that there isn’t even enough cash to make the loan payments? I’ve seen it happen over and over and over and over and over again.

Watch and see how this happens and why you need to understand how to spot these bad deals before they waste a bunch of your time and your bankers.

Learn more in this video I made about DSCR.. https://youtu.be/Q1yOzL73zCo
