How to get free $Money?

Stop. No such thing.

Well, except I think the SBA loan programs are pretty d*mn close.

A thread on OPM from the good ole' US government:
SBA loans... a quickie 😜
- Can get loans up to 90% of your qualifying biz purchase price
- Govt backs a portion of your loan
- Max usually $5M
- Loots of new benefits during Covid to read up on
They're basically copies of what big PE firms do with their partner lending firms.

Assets + Cashflow Potential+ Leverage = PE
Assets + Cashfow Potential + Leverage = SMB buy w/ SBA loans
How to find them?
#1 - I like to look at who does the most transaction value per year

More deals usually equates to not fing around as much

sba.gov/article/2020/m…
#2 - Use a loan broker
- There are groups that go search for your best loan for you like @multifunding
- They add a cost on top but especially for your 1st deal may be worth it
DO NOT use a lender that hasn't done SBA before...
- Just MHO but murdered me before in a deal
- Everyone likes to tell you yes, then have you pay to figure it out.
Listen I'm not trying to say this is all easy, but it is simple

It's not rocket science, it's just work, that pays when done right.

I want to own a passive cashflow business!

Ok - then you need an operator my friend.

How we've hired 100+ operators (some amazing some spectacularly bad).

A 🧵
How to find this elusive human who will do all work while we cashflow?

Stop, no free lunches, expect skin in z game.

I started as an operator. Like a RE property manager.
They took $ risk, I took time risk.

Done right. You are giving only path to REAL wealth... ownership.
THE BEST PARTNER OR OPERATOR.

Always is one of two things:

- Potential talent - someone you know and trust or someone
OR
- Proven talent - who has done the job before

I wanna buy a business, but where do I start???

Good Q since: 91% of ppl with a net worth of $5M+ own their own biz

BUT - Sometimes it's better to start with what not to do.

Here are the most common MISTAKES in M&A & how to avoid them:
1) Don't listen to your Mom, not all Debt is bad

Leverage. I like to try to shoot for a similar to a mortgage.
10-20% cash down in cash, rest “seller-financed"

For example, a biz makes $100k profit, and they're usually valued at 2-3x profits
So you buy for $200k let us say bc you my friend r a killer negotiator.

- $20k down (20%)
- $80k paid end of year 1
- $100k end of year 2
If you fancy, u use profits from biz to pay for the purchase.

Rule #1, Don’t Buy with Cash. Rule #2, Don’t Forget Rule #1.

3 Rules for Deal Making that'll Teach you More than ANY PE MBA

Speak finance and earn finance like $ w/o the IBanking like hours.

I did the Goldman thing... believe me, you don't need to. A 🧵
📏 Rule #1: Cash Isn’t King, Cashflow Is

I optimize for making $’s on my deals day 1.

When I close a deal personally (not through our VC funds), I want that deal to pay me that same day.

Greedy, maybe? Possible, unequivocally.
📏 Rule #2 @ycombinator Term Sheets are for Amateurs

- Most sign term sheets straight from Y-Combinator.

- Have to when deals are super hot (theoretically).

But if I’m optimizing for cash flow, not potential 100x’s, no thanks. Instead...

Cashflow through deal structuring.

I beseech thee... if you learn one thing, learn to structure deals.
Nothing else has made me more $

WARNING: This is technical - but I'm not here to entertain you, I'm here to mutually grow.

Let's go to school eh?
EVERYONE IS OBSESSED W/ The VALUE of a Business.

OMG - how much did @TheHustle or @MorningBrew sell for?
I guarantee that # is less interesting than the terms.
Devil is always in the deal details.

Know how to work the details, you'll own the deal.
Remember this:
Every deal has two aspects Price & Terms.
My saying, "You can have your price and my terms, or my price and your terms... but you can't have both.

My boring businesses make 10x+ more than my angel investments.

😶 None of this "It's like Uber for X" nonsense.
⌛No waiting 10 years to MAYBE become @Jason w/ 8 fig exits
🔥 No seeing all ur $ burn on next BIG thing
💰Payouts day 1 for private deals
What if we create a fund/syndicate... to invest in cash-flowing boring businesses.

Ya, I'm going to do that.

It's basically PE. But usually, PE is for people who look like this...
Instead, it's for us.
I'm working on a syndicate, or rolling fund (structuring 1st deal so we'll see).
It will be focused on CASHFLOW. Not binary potential upside.

New faces here so:

Who the F am I & lessons from running 3 funds w/ $1Billion+ in AUM:

1) If you want:
- ideas on boring $ businesses
- roadmaps for investing unconventionally
- pushback on idiocy

We might be buds, a 🧵:
2) I sit on the board of a $200M Cannabis fund & am a partner (EEC)
- Done 67 deals to date
- Truth: cannabis is HARD. Not a fast way to make $. Need great operators and lots of oversight. We do deals $10-50M+ in ARR.
Lesson: They really do let anyone get featured 😂
3) On the board of a $6.5B+ HF (I'll keep 'em private bc ya know WallStBets)
- These guys are so smart it's painful
- Why I don't play public markets... if I have to compete vs them, no shot
Lesson: Don't play other people's games
