 In this episode we're back with part two of the Chris Barr series on Jackquisitions. Chris is three months into his journey to acquire a business in Florida, and he's bringing real updates from the trenches. From opportunity cost and deal dynamics to cold outreach and broker networks, this episode is packed with hard-won insights from an active business searcher. We dive into the pros and cons of a pool service business he's evaluating, the realities of navigating employee classification, and how acquisition imperfections are often just part of the game. Chris breaks down the lessons learned so far—from generating leads to refining search strategies—and why growth, not just debt repayment, should be the north star in any acquisition strategy.If you're in the search phase or thinking about acquiring a service business, this is a front-row seat to the messy, insightful, and exciting reality of buying a company.

If you turned up to work yesterday, first day of a new week, with a bad case of Mondayitis, feeling like you're getting nowhere working for the man, thinking now is the time in your life when you should be the master of your own destiny, making your own decisions, getting the true reward for your labours, well join the queue. Buyer demand for New Zealand businesses is on the up with large business brokerage firm LINK reporting a record 19% year-on-year increase in would-be buyers signing confidentiality agreements, even though times are tough. You would think in a relatively depressed economy that people would stay put, that going out on your own would be the last thing you'd want to do, but no. It's not just LINK, ABC Business Sales CEO Chris Small also reported a record number of sales. He said business sales were countercyclical to unemployment, with people looking to buy themselves into a job when employment opportunities dry up or they're made redundant. He says right now there's a lack of stock, listings were down 10%, while the number of buyers looking to buy a business was up 30%. You can put that down to immigration, a significant number of would-be buyers are immigrants, but Small says a growing number of those who are just sick of working for other people. “It's becoming a real thing that people are coming to us and going, you know what I'm sick of, I'm sick of working for a big corporate. It's too woke or it's too annoying. I don't like my boss, and I want that financial freedom where actually, if they work really hard, you get rewarded. If you don't work hard, you're obviously going to be in a bit of trouble versus in corporate New Zealand - you can probably work pretty hard and not necessarily get rewarded for the hours you put in.” Now, when I've talked to people who own their own businesses, who are one of the myriad small to medium businesses that are the backbone of the business economy, a lot of them grew up with parents who had their own business. That's the way they saw the world. That you had your own business, that you worked as a team, husband and wife within the business, the kids quite often helped out, and so it was the culture of your family, was to own your own business. In our family, it was a bit different. My dad was adamant that my brother and I should get good jobs. When I signed up to the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand and my brother was an officer in the New Zealand Army, that was it for him. It was job done. We both had good, safe, secure jobs. Wonder how we'd look at the media landscape right now, but for him, it was getting a good, secure job. That was the dream. And I'm really interested in those people who are leaving paid employment. Leaving a corporate or middle management role and deciding to go out and buy a business. Can you actually make a go of it if it's not in your bones? If it's not in your in your blood? Because running your own business is hard work and I wonder if people underestimate that when they think no, I'm going to buy myself a little business and everything will be tickety-boo. I won't have to answer to anybody if I work hard, I'll get the return on it, it won't be going to anybody else. If I want to take Saturday off then I can. Well, can you? I mean, most of the business owners I know, especially in the early days of the business, were working seven days a week. Can you actually become a business owner later in life, without any kind of experience? Running your own business – it's not for the faint hearted. I totally understand that for people who don't enjoy their jobs, turning up, sitting down at the hot desk and finding filth is the first thing you do to start your day, having some overpaid tit telling you what to do and when to do it would be really grinding. You know, endless, pointless meetings would sap your soul. And I totally understand the desire to pick up your jacket, walk out, and start doing it for yourself. I'd be really interested to hear from people's experiences and those of you who are business owners, who have been business owners since you left school. And what your words to these would-be businesspeople, what your words of wisdom might be to them. What would you tell those who are looking to leave the corporate world, where they've been a paid employee for the most of their working life, they're now in their 30s or 40s, and they've had a gutsful. And they want to buy a business and get out there and make something of themselves. What would you tell them? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 244, Kelly Kennedy welcomes back powerhouse entrepreneur and Built to Lead podcast host Jory Evans for a bold conversation that challenges conventional business thinking. Jory shares how he scaled Evans Trucking from a single unit into a diversified empire with over 100 trucks, a heavy-duty mechanic shop, and a construction company — all rooted in disciplined leadership and a values-driven approach. But the real gold? Jory reveals why buying a business can be a smarter, faster path to success than starting from scratch — and how he's leveraging acquisitions to scale even further.This episode dives deep into the mindset, discipline, and execution required to grow during downturns, navigate economic pressure, and turn chaos into momentum. Jory breaks down the realities of vendor financing, why most self-help never gets applied, and the critical difference between learning and doing. If you've ever considered acquiring a business or want to understand what real growth looks like in 2025, this is a must-listen conversation packed with actionable insight.Key Takeaways: 1. Buying a business can be less risky and more strategic than starting one from scratch, especially in a buyer's market with aging business owners looking to exit.2. Execution matters more than information — most people consume self-help and business content but never apply it. Discipline and follow-through are what create real growth.3. Vendor financing is a powerful acquisition tool, allowing buyers to structure win-win deals while keeping sellers invested in the business's success post-sale.4. Writing things down is the first step to execution — it turns ideas into actions and creates lasting momentum.5. Your business will never outgrow you as a leader — personal development and intentional growth are essential if you want your company to scale.6. Downturns are the best time to grow — while others pull back, leaning in with momentum and clarity can position you to dominate when the market rebounds.7. You don't need to reinvent the wheel — acquiring a business with proven systems, clients, and revenue is often a smarter path than starting from zero.8. Carbon tax and government policy have a direct and devastating impact on logistics and food costs, and leaders must understand how these forces affect their industry.9. The fastest growth happens when you combine operational experience with strategic insight — knowing your numbers, your levers, and your people is non-negotiable.10. You must evaluate every acquisition based on synergy, upside, and culture — if it doesn't align with your values or offer true value-add, walk away.Companies mentioned in this episode: Evans Trucking Built to Lead Capital Business DevelopmentTo explore upcoming business development courses, one-on-one coaching opportunities, and to join our private community of entrepreneurs, business developers, and growth-focused leaders — visit kellykennedyofficial.com.

Lately, I've been thinking about starting a new business. I know the market seems like it's crashing around us, and we're probably headed into a recession. But hey—I started my first business back in 2009, and it doesn't get much worse than that, right? Well, maybe it can. And that's exactly why I've been considering buying a business instead of starting one from scratch, particularly because of the SBA loan options available right now. Here's how an SBA 7(a) loan breaks down for a $1,000,000 business purchase: Total Loan Amount: $1,000,000 Typical Down Payment (10%): $100,000 Amount Financed: $900,000 Loan Term: 25 years Estimated Monthly Payment (at 10.25% annually): $8,200 Now, that monthly payment isn't exactly cheap. But consider this: a business selling for $1 million typically goes for about three times its annual earnings. For those of you from the real estate world, that translates to what we'd call a cap rate of about 33.33%. And remember—anytime your cap rate exceeds your interest rate, leverage works in your favor. Let's break down the numbers clearly. With annual earnings of $333,333 ($1,000,000 divided by 3), and an annual debt service of about $98,400 ($8,200 x 12 months), your annual cash flow comes out to around $234,933. Since you only invested $100,000 to get this cash flow, you're looking at a cash-on-cash return of about 235%. Pretty impressive, right? Of course, the devil is always in the details. One reason I've never pulled the trigger on buying a small business like this is because, as someone who's started businesses myself, I know firsthand just how volatile small businesses can be.  Often, their success hinges on key factors that don't necessarily transfer smoothly to a new owner. Think about it—if small businesses were all this easy, why would anyone ever bother buying anything else? That said, my guest on this week's Wealth Formula Podcast strongly advocates for buying existing small businesses and believes most people are overlooking a fantastic opportunity. He makes a compelling case—one that might just have you checking out business listings yourself. Curious? Make sure you tune into this week's Wealth Formula Podcast and see if buying a business might be the right move for you!

With a background in real estate and finance, he now specializes in helping aspiring entrepreneurs secure funding and find the right business or franchise to acquire. His experience includes flipping houses, securing SBA loans for clients, and even starring in an HGTV house-flipping show. His latest project is his book Paycheck to Freedom, co-authored with Tom Wheelwright, aimed at guiding people from employment to business ownership.Summary: This episode of How2Exit features Beau Eckstein, a business coach with deep expertise in SBA lending, real estate, and business acquisitions. His journey from struggling student to real estate investor, then into SBA lending and franchise brokering, highlights the resilience and adaptability needed for success in business. The conversation dives into financing strategies, franchise opportunities, and the critical role of business ownership in wealth creation, with Eckstein sharing valuable insights on how entrepreneurs can leverage SBA loans and other funding methods to achieve financial freedom.Key Takeaways:From Failure to Success – Eckstein's early struggles in real estate and financial collapse in 2008 forced him to reinvent himself, leading to his expertise in SBA financing and business ownership.SBA Lending as a Wealth-Building Tool – SBA loans, especially the 7(a) and 504 programs, provide pathways for entrepreneurs to finance businesses with as little as 10% down.Franchise vs. Independent Business – While some prefer acquiring independent businesses, franchises offer proven systems and structured support that can accelerate success.The Myth of Passive Income in Real Estate – Owning rental properties isn't always the cash flow generator people assume; business ownership often yields more predictable profits.Recurring Revenue Models Win – Businesses like pest control, restoration, and commercial painting franchises generate recurring revenue, making them attractive investment choices.Private Equity in Franchising – PE-backed franchises can be a red flag for some buyers, as corporate strategies may prioritize investor returns over franchisee success.SBA Loan Collateral Requirements Can Be Tricky – Borrowers with significant real estate holdings may find SBA lenders requiring liens on personal assets, making alternative financing strategies worth exploring.Eckstein's Mission: 100,000 Business Owners – His goal is to help aspiring entrepreneurs transition from employees to business owners through education, financing, and franchise opportunities.--------------------------------------------------Contact Beau onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beaueckstein/Website: https://businessownershipcoach.com/--------------------------------------------------

Send us a textI have had a lot of guests on the show to talk about buying a small business.  From lenders, buyers, and investors- everyone seems to be saying, "Go buy a business!  You will make a ton of money and can't go wrong!"  Well, today's guest is a story of what happens when it does go wrong. Jed Morris is an Air Force veteran who bought a landscaping business and then quickly bought another.  He did a lot of things right: Worked inside business #1 for 6 months before making an offerBuilt a great relationship with the ownerMade a good deal that made financial senseBut after a few months, the wheels started to come off and Jed ended up going bankrupt on the deal.  Despite this, he is still optimistic on buying small businesses.  His is a great story of resilience, grit, and how to think about risk.

Codie reveals how her experiences covering cartel violence and human trafficking shaped her understanding of financial freedom, leading her to develop a revolutionary approach to building wealth through acquiring "boring" but profitable businesses. Codie talks about business acquisition, wealth creation, the importance of ownership and gives her unique perspective on entrepreneurship. Codie Sanchez REVEALS: How she went from a journalist to a business owner The shocking shift away from business ownership in the UK Why a side hustle makes you more likely to succeed than quitting your job straight away The three promising business types for 2025 Why a degree isn’t worth the investment anymore The pros to buying an existing business BEST MOMENTS "If you want to go fast, go alone, If you want to go far, go together. It's super true. And the only way you're going to make like a fucking unreasonable amount of money is by having a team that buys into your vision" "You know what's sexy? Profitable businesses. Profitable businesses are really sexy and it's sexy to have a business that you could bootstrap with your own two hands" "Money really is freedom and it is also protection” "Those who say it's impossible should get out of the way of those of us doing it." "In order to start a business, you're 90% likely to fail or a 10% success rate. In order to buy a business, you have a five to 20% fail rate and somewhere between a 95 to an 80% success rate."

For this episode, David is joined by Kevin Henderson who is an experienced M&A lawyer, whose mission is to help people to get into the world of buying businesses. Doing so is a way to create the freedom that they want in their lives whilst also being business owners. Kevin covers identifying the right business to buy, spotting issues with it, raising funds, taking it over and potentially selling it. To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min   KEY TAKEAWAYS You can make enough money from a small business to match a professional corporate wage. Plus, you are building equity. Most business equity in the USA and Europe is in the hands of baby boomers, who need to retire. Many small businesses do not use technology, so improving processes to generate far more profit is easy. In the USA, you now only need to buy a majority of a business to secure a SBA loan. Do your due diligence. 40% of businesses lie about their finances. Be careful about how they handle expenses too. Buying a firm with just 1 or 2 big customers is risky. Spend at least the first year working directly in the business. Be prepared to occasionally step in to cover some of the manual work. If you plan to sell, plan ahead and make your business more attractive. Kevin explains how. Be realistic running a small business is still stressful. BEST MOMENTS “You can bridge a very large gap with seller financing.” “In approximately 40% of deals that he reviews …. they identify outright financial fraud.” “Focus on what we call enduringly profitable businesses.”   EPISODE RESOURCES Socials – @KHendersonCo https://www.mundanemillionaires.com ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference.

Russell Carriere joins Benny and Dennis to discuss the topic of getting ready to sell a business. While we all have bought or sold something like a car, or a home but selling a business is not just an asset - it is something you have built. There are so many moving parts and things a seller must think about to navigate through the process. Listen in today as Russell shares somethings you may have not thought about. Russell Carriere's Bio: I grew up with a father who started his first business as a paperboy in grade school. He found he enjoyed building and running a successful business. When I entered middle school, my father started a Heavy Equipment Manufacturing business building and selling rough terrain forklifts. My father believed in starting at the ground floor, so this is literally where I started - by sweeping floors, cleaning, and organizing the shop. When I entered high school, I was moved to the assembly line of the business. This is where I learned every aspect on building the heavy equipment. I was rotated from one station to another to learn how every piece went together and how it all worked to complete the product. After two years in assembly, I moved into the service and sales department. This is where I was able to meet with the actual customers of the equipment while providing onsite repairs or modifications to their equipment. I began traveling the country performing equipment demonstrations and attending trade shows to walk perspective customers through the complete workings of the equipment - all at the age of 18. Through this experience I learned that everything matters - clean floors, an organized shop, where every screw, bolt, and wire work together, and most importantly, how to support your customer. This is how I got the bug for wanting to own my own business.I have since run and operated businesses that represent different markets including Retail/Wholesale Distribution, Light Manufacturing, and Installation, as well as Hospitality owning a 125-acre campground. I have also worked in the corporate world selling technology for Billion-dollar companies selling and supporting fortune 500 customers selling them multi-million-dollar solutions their businesses relied on.

Buying a business? Maybe you've thought about it before. You could own a laundromat, self-storage facility, plumbing business, or landscaping service. It doesn't sound glamorous, but these types of businesses can make you millions of dollars and lead you to financial freedom. And, with so many baby boomers retiring, tons of small businesses with built-in customer bases are for sale, just waiting for YOU to come and make money from them. But before you buy, there are some things you should know. Elliott Holland, an expert in acquiring small and medium-sized businesses, helps aspiring business buyers uncover whether a business is worth the price. Elliot's team specializes in business due diligence, making sure that YOU don't buy a business that's worth less than what the owner/broker told you it was. Trust him; he's saved many new entrepreneurs from making million-dollar mistakes. So, before you buy a business, listen to this episode. In it, Elliot walks through exactly how a business is valued, which loans you can use to buy a business, why you CAN'T trust the financials from the current business owner, questions to ask before you buy, and who should even be buying a business in the first place. Do this right, and you could be sitting on lifetime financial freedom, but take a wrong turn, and you could lose millions (we'll share that story, too!). In This Episode We Cover How to buy a “boring business” that will lead you to financial freedom How businesses are valued and why you MUST understand “EBITDA” Tricky ways that business owners inflate their numbers to sell to you for more Who should (and definitely shouldn't) be buying small businesses  Three things you MUST look at before you make a bid on a business The wrong move that lost one business owner over $2,000,000 when buying a business And So Much More!

Transitioning from a Wall Street background, Carl now coaches individuals seeking to exit the traditional employment structure and become entrepreneurs.Carl specializes in creative deal-making, outlining four ways to acquire a company, involving aspects like supply chains, equity, and marketing. He emphasizes the strategic value of combining businesses, akin to successful instances like Facebook's acquisition of Instagram.Advocating for buying businesses over starting them, Carl highlights the lower risk, ease, speed, and higher returns associated with acquisitions. He suggests choosing businesses aligned with personal passion and values, bringing value to the acquired venture. For those lacking expertise, he recommends partnering with someone who complements the business skill set.While selling a business can be challenging for owners, especially with the transition of control while continuing to work there, cultural alignment is deemed crucial for success. Carl conducts cultural assessments before acquiring businesses, avoiding ventures conflicting with his Christian values, such as those in industries like cannabis and gambling.Upon successfully acquiring a business, Carl indulges in a unique celebration – purchasing and assembling a $1,000 Lego set for relaxation and enjoyment. He incentivizes operators with a stake of 5-20%, adjusting the percentage to enhance motivation. Carl's criteria for acquisitions include a focus on cash-flowing businesses, emphasizing the importance of entrepreneurs functioning as true visionaries rather than mere employees.Despite his extensive business portfolio, Carl expresses a deep attachment to his coaching business, structuring it to function seamlessly without his direct involvement. While he assists students by acquiring relevant businesses, Carl remains committed to the coaching venture, having no immediate plans to sell it.
