I don’t know the actual answer, but these guys are pretty damn good:
Bradford Hardin (@bradford_hardin) Co-chair, Financial Services Practice David Wright Tremaine… he’ll eventually be their managing partner and much, much more. Mark my words. Image

Matt Margolis (@ItsMattsLaw) Head of Community for Lawtrades… it takes brass you-know-what’s to be a great lawyer and risk it all in an old crusty profession. Marketing genius. Generates more eyeballs than most Fortune 500 marketing departments… engagement worth millions Image
Eric Hsu (@lawyer4SMBs) founder of Clear Focus Law… sure he knocked off my brand and occasionally steals our clients, but frankly I respect the hustle… and there’s plenty for all of us. I’ve tried to recruit him to @smblawgroup but he’s a steadfast solopreneur Image
Sam Rosati (@Sam_Rosati) our other co-founder at @smblawgroup… he founded an SMB micro-PE firm, a law firm, @SMB_ash… name a bigger SMB expert? You can’t. Total team player. Humble. Image

Working Capital

Arguably the most important (and often overlooked) element when buying a business.

This is a must read and could save your behind!

A THREAD: Image
1 - What is Working Capital?

The textbook definition (yawn):

The difference b/t a company's current assets and current liabilities.

This difference comprises the financial resources needed to fund the day-to-day operations of a business.
2 - Think payroll, inventory purchases and other operational costs...

You need working capital to keep the "machine" that is the business operating.

Some common analogies:
• Gas in the car
• Blood in the body
• Water in the water wheel
• Batteries in the flashlight

$7 trillion of Baby Boomer businesses will be sold by 2030.

A quick and dirty guide to buying one: Image
Before we dive in, some quick background:

The number of businesses bought and sold since 2018 hasn't materially increased.

And many of the businesses for sale will not and should not sell.

We are seeing a TON of opportunity nonetheless.

If you look hard enough, you will too!
1 - The basics: reading

You're going to need to do some learning.

Not a lot, but you'll need to get familiar with the fundamentals of the process.

The most popular books are:
• HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business
• Buy Then Build
• Buying a Small Business for Dummies Image

Breaking: Absolutely enormous real estate news today that affects us all. This settlement could reduce realtor commissions by 30% and put massive downward pressure on home prices across the U.S. 🤯🚨
Image
Image
The back of the American residential realtor lobby was just broken.

Watch for digital players like Zillow and others to emerge as the big winners as many (most) realtors are forced out of the profession.
I’m going to answer this once because I’m getting the same question repeatedly:

Lower commissions (admin expenses) means buyers can now list for less to get the same net outcome.

In a competitive, buyer-friendly environment, expect many sellers to lower their prices.
