And narrows down which to buy often in 30 seconds...
A 𧡠featuring my new homie @SievaKozinsky DD process:
How to go from 3,000 -> 1,000 deals
Narrowed down by looking quickly at these 4 things..
Know your parameters = save your time.
- Type of business
- Cashflow amount
- location
- profit
Only 1-3 hits those amounts rest.. (30sec review)
1,000 --> 500
- Financials (learn how to spot a healthy biz is largely in the #'s)
Oh, they're a mess & you're actually not profitable.
Bye (less than 30min to review)
500 --> 150
Let the market do the work for you.
Brokers can be AMAZING or the absolute WORST.
Don't chase.
- Ping the broker, get no responses or not helpful responses
Adios.
200 --> 100 - ONLY HERE ARE YOU TAKING CALLS.
Broker call, not the right or enough info.
(60min)
100 --> 70 - INSERT OWNER CONVOS
Broker call
Owner call
Not right deal structure, owner, valuation etc
(90-120min)
70 --> 40
Meet owner, took to near LOI, lots more diligence
(this is where the hours actually start to compile)
40 -->
Actually, take these bad boys to LOI
For every 5 LOI's put out 1 closes.
That's how you review 3k businesses a year and up buying 5-10.
TLDR:
You have to see a lot of BS to find the good ones.
Make it fun (you're a detective), and do it efficiently.
If I messed anything up it's my fault not @SievaKozinsky
He's smart - worth a follow.

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 π
- 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.
