Dropping anonymity and going all in: Many of you have hired me to serve as your M&A lawyer to help you buy or sell a business. And others to represent their company in day-to-day legal matters. Time I put the same trust in this community: I’m Rob Fafinski. More👇.
Scaling a professional services firm is hard. We can work more, we can become more efficient, we can forego quality and take on more (not an option), but ultimately we're capped by the individual capacity of our team members. It's easy to say "just hire". I don't post a lot…
I'm grateful to be a part of the team at @CayneCrossing with @Derek_CayneQofE @Chris_CayneQofE and twitter-less Josh and am excited for what 2024 holds, as we continue to grow and partner with more of you fine folks. Check out our 2023 highlights at Cayne Crossing.
Check out our 2023 year-end highlights at @CayneCrossing We had an awesome year working with many of you (over 100 deals worked on!). We're proud of what we've been able to accomplish, and we're pumped for the continued growth of our team. The SMB M&A community is thriving,…
A lot of self funded searcher limit their search to <$1.5m EBITDA to stay under the $5m SBA loan cap. Good read from @sbabmarks explaining how you can do SBA deals nearly double that size

January - April have been by far our slowest months the past two years. Q1 averages about 15% of total production. We played major catch up starting in May. January 2024 is tracking to be on pace with Q3/Q4 months. Sign of a strong M&A market for 2024, or just an anomaly? Im…
M&A Monday: Limitation on Seller’s Liability: Survival, Caps, & Baskets A core part of negotiating an M&A deal seeks to answer the question, what if something goes wrong after closing? Unlike in real estate, where property due diligence can almost fully inform a buyer, in M&A,…
Why is a QofE important when you’re buying an SMB? #1 reason – Financial statement quality across SMB’s is the wild wild west. There is no concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or “GAAP”, in this end of the world. You may see cash-basis, or you may see…
Data room frustrations➡️The ability to filter by "New" or "New since" (or at least get timely notifications) in a data room is key. It amazes me every time I'm in a data room and have to scan through every folder just to see what new items have come in that day
Life as a M&A service provider requires infinite adaptability. Financial due diligence is the leading diligence stream. We often hear of a new deal once the LOI is signed. From new opportunity to work commencing can be a matter of days. Maintaining capacity is crucial. Turning…
Realized I was out of coffee at 8pm last night. Ordered via @amazon and it was delivered at 5am this morning. Just in time before the morning workout. How did people survive before this type of service was available??
SMBX needs to step it up. I posted one comment on @JoeCassandra post about the price of a Jersey Mikes sub and have gotten more dialogue from the rest of X than I’ve gotten from SMBX in months Is QofE content just not that interesting anymore?
I need a new sport coat. Not too fancy, just a stylish jacket to throw on a couple times a year for the occasional function/dinner. I don’t know what budget to have, but I assume <4-500 is realistic given I won’t wear it much What do guys like these days? For reference, I’m…
