    Great Video, David. It explains exactly why it's so difficult to succeed in this industry. For over 26 years Business Brokers & Consultants has been helping buyers and sellers successfully exit and acquire their businesses- And IT IS NO EASY JOB! We are not a franchise, like the Sunbelt office you owned. We are independent. Our Principals and small team work directly with local clients from our Metro-Louisville offices in Kentucky. And, we don't charge any retainers or other up-front fees, like you mentioned. So, next time someone wonders at our success fee structure, I am going to share your video.

    Are you operating in Canada or US? That makes a big difference because a Canadian is not eligible for an SBA now! I have been trying to buy a business in the US for 3 years now. No bank will entertain a loan form a canadian with a perfect credit score and 20% cash down with assets to cover the remaining 80%. Private lending???? Not really an option at those rates.

    • @DavidCBarnett
      @DavidCBarnett 17 днів тому

      Net earnings is not cash flow either. Things like depreciation are not cash expenses. Also, cash collected in earlier periods could be taken out at owner's salary in later periods. It's why you need to be looking at balance sheets as well as income statements.

Another way to reach that end goal would be to start building business relationships and partnerships with the kind of businesses you intend to buy, and if after a couple of years, you have accumulated enough capital and built trust with them, the opportunity to buy them out may manifest naturally 😊.
