Private equity is a fast-paced game. You buy a business and often only have two to five years' worth of investor capital to improve the business before you need to sell it for a profit.  This doesn't give you a lot of time to make meaningful improvements and often results in changes that destabilize the business long term. That's why Brent Beshore decided to turn the concept of private equity on its head. Brent is the founder of Permanent Equity, a PE firm that invests in family-held businesses.  The twist? Brent has no intention of selling the businesses. Forget two to five years, he works with a 30-year time horizon. He also uses no debt in his acquisitions and takes zero fees or reimbursements. Instead, he splits the cash flow that the business earns, putting his firm, the investors, and the family that owns the business on equal footing.  This almost indefinite timeline, and the fact that he doesn't have a debt looming over his head, means Brent has the freedom to grow the businesses sustainably and with everyone's best interests at heart.  In this episode, Brent joins us to share his unique take on private equity. He explains how he built his funds with longevity in mind, and why he steered away from the traditional private equity approach to debt. According to Brent, “Buying a business with debt means you have to sacrifice cash flow every month to repay that debt. That gives you less flexibility to reinvest back in the business. Less flexibility to grow. And when things get hard, which they will, it forces you to make decisions that are not in the long-term best interest of the company.” Brent also explains why he has chosen to be industry agnostic, focusing instead on “adolescent businesses” that offer lots of opportunities to make improvements. Finally, Brent shares advice on how entrepreneurs can replicate his success, explaining, “There's a lot of opportunity in the private equity space. But it's gonna be a lot of hard work and a lot of stress. You need to prepare yourself for that and give yourself enough lead time to be choosy. If you're starting from a dead stop, you should give yourself three years of runway full-time to find the right business, buy it, and start to operate it.” If you want to build a portfolio of business but are put off by the traditional private equity model, then Brent's unconventional approach may be just what you are looking for! Topics Discussed in This Episode: Brent shares how he accidentally stumbled into business ownership (02:45) The obstacles Brent faced when acquiring his initial business (09:28) How buying that first business inspired Brent to grow his portfolio (12:13) The story behind Brent's unique fund structure (15:22) The makeup of Brent's business portfolio (20:10) How Brent calculates the value of a business (31:01) Brent's due diligence process (33:51) Why Brent chooses to purchase businesses without debt (36:07) How Brent approaches growing a business after acquisition (39:59) How Brent structured his team to manage such a large portfolio of businesses (43:13) Brent's advice on how entrepreneurs can replicate his success (48:31) Mentions: Empire Flippers Podcast Empire Flippers Marketplace Schedule a call with our expert sales advisors  Create an Empire Flippers account Permanent Equity The Messy Marketplace Brent's Twitter Sit back, grab a coffee, and learn how to reap the benefits of private equity without the traditional constraints!

DealQuest Community, this week I bring you another triple discussion. This week I have Brian Scanlon and Joe Zanca, Managing Partners of Dealgen Partners. DealGen Partners is a Deal Orientation company sourcing deals for Private Equity Funds, and Strategic Acquirers. Currently, Dealgen Partners manages $2.7B in buy-side mandates. THE “PARTNERS” IN DEALGEN PARTNERS Neither Brian nor Joe had any idea in their younger years that they'd end up in the M&A Space. As with many young boys, they both dreamt of being sports stars. Brian recently found a “What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?” paper from his 6th grade year of school, and there was no doubt his eye was on a specific prize: Shortstop for the New York Yankees. Joe also dreamt of being a baseball player. Growing up with his father as a firefighter, Joe said to himself that if baseball didn't work out – which it didn't – he would become a firefighter like his father. His brother is now a firefighter, working alongside their father, and Joe has found himself in the business universe, having started his own storage company business in college with teammates from his baseball team. The business model was literally in the basement, specifically the basement of a teammate's parents' home, however storing other students' belongings in a home basement proved to be a great business idea for 20-year-old Joe. This company continued for 8 years before Joe finally sold it to move along his career. Brian's start into business was a coincidence – his aunt had a PR firm based in New York. In 2007, one of her clients showed great interest in the up-and-coming social media site, Facebook. His aunt didn't understand Facebook, so she offered him $500 a month to curate and upkeep the client's company Facebook page. As time went on, and the interest in Facebook took off, his aunt continued to send her clients to Brian for social media, and even started gaining his own clients. Brian began his investment career after selling his marketing firm, Social Mediators in 2014, and joining the Sell Side M&A Advisory space through O'Hare Management. Brian established a strong network in the Investment Banking space during his time at O'Hare. In 2016, Brian founded DealGen Partners with the goal of providing quality deals to companies in the acquisition process. Brian and Joe met at Babson College and remained friends for several years, until one day after they both had sold their businesses, it sort of clicked for both of them that they should partner up and build something great. A VIEW FROM THE SELL SIDE Brian's background has allowed him an insider's view of the sell side of a deal, a literal crash course in how deals can fall apart. Seeing these deals, in his words, “crumble” over the years, he saw that there was a lot of opportunity to be had with the private equity groups. The sell side of the industry also moves at a much slower pace. On the buy side, a firm can be working on several hundred to thousands of deals in a year, whereas on the sell side, those numbers will rarely go over the double digits. Brian notes that at one point, he was only working on 3 deals, whereas a buyer he was working with had some 3000 deals they were evaluating. After seeing this stark contrast in a number of deals, Brian began to wonder if there was a way to service both sides, without as much reliance on a single deal closing. It wasn't that he saw the grass is greener on the other side, so to speak, he was merely reaching a place of burnout, and wanted to move forward onto different things in his career. Thus, Dealgen Partners work on an estimated 70 – 80 deals at a time. LESSONS LEARNED IN THE NUANCE OF DUE DILIGENCE Through Brian's perspective on the sell side of seeing many deals fall apart, especially at the 11th hour (after LOI, etc.), there were lessons in due diligence that Brian learned. He recollects two deals that fell through: One because a spouse wasn't really on-board with the business being sold A second because the deal taking so long to complete, the seller's numbers began to drop, and the buyer backed out because the seller's business wasn't performing as well. Through seeing these reasons, and a myriad of others , causing deals to fall apart at stages at which it was essentially considered a done deal, Brian learned a valuable lesson about due diligence: Cover all your bases and leave no rock unturned. He could've checked in with the temperature of the spouse wherein the family business is being sold He could make sure buyers and sellers were better fits for each other He could make sure buyers and sellers got to know each other a bit better before entering a deal; not getting blinded by the purchase price He could have pushed the seller a bit harder to ensure a quicker deal timeline, or educate the seller's lawyer that the numbers weren't looking great at that moment, and it was important to get the deal signed While it's easy to chalk up something to being out of one's control, in the deal-making process, a lot of times, this isn't always the case. It's important to keep your finger on the pulse of every deal to completion and ensure you're doing all you can to complete the deal successfully; there is always more you can do. This is a good lesson in not only being proactive during due diligence, but also how nuanced and meticulous one's due diligence must be to ensure the deal, lest it fall apart. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL STEP For Joe's experience with running his college business, he learned about the many reasons for selling a business. Some of those reasons include: A joint owner buying out another owner An owner wanting to step back or totally away from the company New opportunities Industry changes Partner disagreements In Joe's case with the storage company, his partners wanted to take the company in one direction, and he wanted to take it in another. In the end, his partners bought out his equity, and Joe continued his path forward – still very much in positive friendship with these former partners, and the company still exists today. DEALGEN PARTNERS By the time Joe was exiting his storage business, Brian already had his motions in gear for what his next step was. They then decided to bring Joe in as a partner, as they both felt they knew each other well enough and had seen each other in business to know they would work well together. Dealgen works primarily with PE (Private Equity) Funds. Per a tagline on the Dealgen Partners website (www.dealgenpartners.com): “We find the deal you wish you knew about. You close them.” An eloquent way to sum up the services Dealgen Partners offer. They have grown a vast network of trusted partners, utilizing that network with proprietary outreach strategy in order to bring PE firms the ideal targets for their deal criteria – a facilitator of deal courtships, in a way. A CRAFTED OFFER Even the most desired deals take time to unfold and build. Dealgen Partners has built a formula for their company to offer to their clients the best opportunity to be successful within the dealmaking relationship. Dealgen does the business development for the clients The clients will be able to save themselves significant time – as finding a business looking to sell takes a lot of resources and time Dealgen takes on the burden of finding those companies wanting to sell Apply their marketing skills as being business owners and entrepreneurs themselves This is a great setup, right? So how does Dealgen Partners structure their offer for their clients? Dealgen charges a working capital deposit at the beginning of the relationship with a PE firm or strategic buyer. That deposit buys: One year's worth of Dealgen's service Exclusivity to a vertical. For example: If you're looking to buy specifically cybersecurity companies, when a cybersecurity company comes across Dealgen's radar for sale, this exclusivity allows you to be the first to be given the chance to purchase. If one of their clients does not acquire a business within 12 months, the retainer is refundable. By taking on this risk, they found a way to really set themselves apart from the marketing agencies. WHO DEALGEN WORKS WITH Dealgen Partners are retained and paid strictly by the buy side, whether it's a Private Equity Fund or a Strategic Acquirer. This places Dealgen in an interesting position wherein they can approach a number of sellers with an expansive network of serious buyers. They can, with certainty, approach the sellers and present they are going to be bought for the most amount of money possible. In an industry where there tends to be more buyers than sellers, this confidence and guarantee becomes extremely attractive to sellers. Their paradigm also allows them to operate in a way that an Investment Banker doesn't necessarily have. By operating as a matchmaker or liaison of sorts, this veil of you're working for one side and one side only tends to not exist, allowing for comfortable familiarity and trust to be built in all directions. Now of course, they're extremely loyal to their clients – the buyers. They certainly aren't playing both sides of the field, however, they've crafted their business to allow them to remain loyal to their clients, while simultaneously forming positive relationships with sellers, which is a very unique position. Dealgen Partners is confident in their skills, experience, and network. They are more than willing to go that extra distance in all avenues of an M&A deal. By giving the guarantee to their clients, forming positive relationships with sellers, and building their offer for the clients in the way they have, it takes a lot of the risk pressure off the clients and ensures everyone finds the utmost satisfaction. • • • FOR MORE ON BRIAN SCANLON:https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianscanlondeals/ FOR MORE ON JOE ZANCA:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-zanca-8b154559/ FOR MORE ON DEALGEN PARTNERS:Dealgen Partners are currently available to any Investment Bankers, M&A Advisors, Founders or Fund Managers who are looking to sell their business.https://dealgenpartners.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Ikuo Yasuda is the Chairman, President and CEO of Pinnacle Inc. (IMAP Japan) and is an expert in M&A business in Japan with over 30 years of experience. Mr. Yasuda graduated from Hitotsubashi University in the late 70s and entered the Long-term Credit Bank of Japan (currently Shinsei Bank) where he eventually became a Joint General Manager. After over 20 years at LTCB, Mr. Yasuda was headhunted by General Electric International Japan (GE) where he worked with Jack Welch managing business development and M&A. Mr. Yasuda also served as Country Head of Lehman Brothers Japan and Head of its investment banking department.   Mr. Yasuda says compared to a Japanese company, western companies are very much performance driven. Unlike a Japanese company, age is not a determining factor in their status, as Mr. Yasuda's boss at GE was younger than him, and there is no seniority system. He adds that management and executive level workers also do much of the front-line work, talking to clients and making presentations. Due to the nature of such a results-driven working environment, Mr. Yasuda says he had to be very strict with his subordinates, yet at the same time, motivate them and allow freedom in how they reached their goals. He took the Ame to muchi (Whip and candy) approach in leadership, learning from his boss who took a similar style. Moreover, as his bosses were superior to him regardless of their age, and had much more decision-making power than Japanese companies, he felt more pressure to produce results. Mr. Yasuda explains that one of the “GE way” was to stretch one's goals. For example, his team will set a goal of 15% instead of a more realistic 10%, and push themselves to reach over 10% in the end.   After GE, Mr. Yasuda worked at Lehman Brothers as the Country Head of Japan. When Mr. Yasuda joined Lehman, he felt a different kind of pressure from working at GE. As GE's head of business development, Mr. Yasuda was required to make a series of acquisitions and develop new businesses. As CEO of Lehman Brothers Japan, Mr. Yasuda was hired to rebuild the Japan branch that had decreased and was responsible for producing profitable ROE.   After Lehman, Mr. Yasuda became interested in founding his own business, combining what he had learned from both cultures. As a result, Pinnacle, an M&A advisory firm, was born. When recruiting for people in the firm, Mr. Yasuda was able to receive great PR appearing on the Nikkei newspaper article as well as being a TV commentator on a nationally broadcasted news show on TBS, which prompted many talent people in finance to apply. Moreover, Mr. Yasuda sought to target CEOs of corporations and built up his client base by setting up lunch appointments and golfing. Mr. Yasuda also took full advantage of his business network, being part of many business leader associations, including the Tokyo Rotary Club. He explains, when the M&A research begins from the ground-level and is brought up to the CEO, the executive is more likely to turn it down because of the risk factors written up in the reports provided to him. However, by capturing the CEOs' interests first, Mr. Yasuda thinks the M&A will most likely be implemented.   As for the future of M&A, Mr. Yasuda thinks more and more companies will be interested in order to increase their ROE. He mentions there is much more that M&A can do with Private Equity Fund and business successions in which companies do not have a successor. Additionally, Mr. Yasuda points out that the country is going through a post-industrial revolution with the rapid-changes due to technology. This will also impact the growth of M&A.   On advice to foreign nationals leading in Japan, Mr. Yasuda says, it is important to understand the Japanese corporate culture, which can be unproductive at times. Secondly, he advises to be patient when doing business in Japan. He further explains, the Japanese market is fiercely competitive, which is something foreigners sent to Japan from headquarters would have to explain continuously. The key to a successful M&A in Japan would also be a gradual process, winning trust from a minority and slowly gaining more ownership.   Mr. Yasuda defines leadership as someone who is the most productive person in the organization and can lead by example. In this way, he thinks one can earn the trust and respect of the team. Moreover, Mr. Yasuda values fairness and treating his employees equally, and being transparent with how they are compensated based on their performance.

Michael Bell, founder of Primark Capital -- which runs the Primark Private Equity Investments Fund, a closed-end interval fund -- discusses how changing market conditions have reduced the number of public companies and dramatically increased the number of available private equity investments, which he says are best handled in the limited-liquidity structure of an interval fund.

Not necessarily for the great conversation we had with Oliver, but for what it means to this journey Luke and I have embarked on. Back in the day when starting The Wall Street Lab was just an idea, we used to grab coffee and talk about who could potentially be guests on the podcast. Oliver was really the first person we thought about! So having the opportunity to actually interview him serves as validation that our idea was really worth pursuing. As you will notice from the interview, Oliver is a very down to earth, extremely competent and experienced private equity fund manager. During our conversation, we touch on topics such as the difference between direct and fund of fund private equity investing, the pros and cons of working for large companies versus smaller boutiques, his experience studying for the CFA exams, things he looks at when interviewing candidates to work for him, to name a few.
