They entrust us to not simply be a service provider for them, but also serve as a sounding board and an advocate for their interests.

@ThomasSmale @rapiddiligence is your firm able to handle deals of this size?

Let me say this again: As a first time buyer, it’s better to mistakenly walk away from 99 good deals due to being too cautious than to close one bad deal because you weren’t cautious enough.

This week I had an 8 figure deal die after the QofE came back half of what was in their P&L. Still wanted the same price 🙄. Would have made it a 9.6x multiple vs a 5.3x and debt service wouldn’t work. Painful month, but great lessons. Don’t skimp on DD. On to the next one.
@rapiddiligence Wow, that's a great idea for a product. Mind DMing me what you charge for a cash basis accounting business? There are some people I might send your way.

@rapiddiligence Thank you man! Rooting for you too!
@rapiddiligence I agree and with a significant number of businesses being sold from baby boomers in the next several years there will be opportunities for buy a business and then build
@rapiddiligence Never skimp on diligence. That is not the place to cut corners
@rapiddiligence This is going to be interesting when the new regulations roll out. For sure more to come on this one
@rapiddiligence Got to be passionate about it. The business has to speak to the person
@rapiddiligence @araza617 I would love to have your 6 year old version of you on my podcast to talk about the process of buying an #SMB But I guess I'll invite the next best person which is the current version of you. Would you like to come on sometime? 👀
Harsh (but exciting) truth: Life doesn't become easier when you trade your 9-5 for running a business you purchased. It gets much harder. But instead of being a cog in the wheel of someone else's machine. You own your own machine.
