Chicago bigwig vs. the PIGs and the PEGs. How to Buy a Business

I had a chat with a Chicago executive who was looking for an opportunity to buy a ‘good sized’ business with about $500K EBITDA.

He was having troubles making a deal.  It seems that every time he found a good business, someone else arrived on the scene to outbid him.

What gives?  Why do these other buyers seem to want to over-pay for these businesses?

The problem is that at this revenue level, the financial buyer (person who wants an income and job) begins to run into the strategic buyers.  In this case; the PIGS and the PEGS.

These are the Private Investment Groups and Private Equity Groups.

There is a reason they’re willing to pay more.  They’ve got plans for these businesses.  Learn what it is in this video I made.

How to Borrow to Buy a Business with Undeclared Revenues - How To Buy a Business

Jolson wants to know how to convince a bank to make a loan for him to buy a business.  The problem is that the seller has not been declaring all the revenue and the financials look awful. 

What is a prospective buyer to do?

Great question… I love these kinds of sellers.

Why? Because they’ve made their businesses un-bankable by their tax-swindling ways. 

The only way they’re going to be able to sell their business is if the financing is provided in a different way which can be great news if you’re a buyer.

Let’s face it, banks can be difficult and time-consuming to deal with.  I always prefer to do a deal without them when I can.

Learn more about what I mean in the video I recorded to respond to Jolson.

Does Debt Make a Small Business More Volatile? How To Manage Your Small Business

Eugene wants me to talk about how small business debt makes a business more volatile and if his assumption is correct.

Great question… because it’s not.

Small business owners take on debt to do one thing, boost returns somehow.  This has the effect of magnifying the returns on equity.  All awesome!

Of course, if a money-losing business were to finance losses via debt, that would be just stupid.

Watch my video and learn how/when small businesses should have debt and find out who I see get into the most trouble, the most often.  (and who’s to blame)

Sam wants to know what kind of online business I would start- How To Buy a Business

Sam wants to know what kind of online business I would choose to start.  Easy answer since I’ve already started an online business.

I’d start one where I wrote and sold books and online courses.  The reason: time leverage.

The problem, of course, is that I’ve been working on my online business for years and its only now starting to truly pay me the way I deserve.

There is an easier way to get into an online business and make money right away. I share it here in this video: https://youtu.be/mCTH7UmJfLw
