Episode notes
Cost Of Not Knowing What You Don't Know
- Not knowing what you don't know is a major barrier; learn to map your gaps quickly.
- Every year you delay learning business buying skills can cost you materially over time.
Buy A Company With Partner-Funded Down Payment
- You can buy a $1M company with effectively zero out-of-pocket by using capital partners to fund the 10% down.
- Structure the partner to cover the down payment and give them a profit share; you operate and scale the business.
Realistic Deal Timeline
- Timeline: learn and network in May, outreach June–Aug, LOI by September, close by November.
- Aim for 90-day diligence and avoid December closings since they slip to January.
