52. How to Buy a Cash-Flowing Small Business with Very Little Out of Pocket

How much money do you really need to buy a business? Far less than you probably think. Over six million small businesses will change hands by 2035, as baby boomers look to part with their mom-and-pop operations. This is your opportunity.  These businesses aren’t trading for tens of millions, or even millions of dollars. In fact, most of them cost less than the median price of a single-family home, and the amount you have to put down to acquire them is often a small fraction of the purchase price. Today, I’m sharing the three-layer financing structure that could help you buy a high-quality small business with very little money out of pocket. But the opportunity goes far beyond financing. These are great assets with enormous upside because they’re already profitable, and yet, they can be improved for even more revenue. The key to owning one of these assets isn’t being an expert in that industry or having access to a ton of capital. It’s simply knowing how to structure one of these deals, and that’s exactly what I’m going to show you how to do.   Insights from today’s episode:  How much it actually costs to buy an existing small business Why the down payment needed for a small business is usually less than you think The three-layer structure for financing a small business Why over six million small businesses will change hands by 2035 Value-add opportunities that could add thousands to your business’s bottom line — BizBuySell Insight Report - https://www.bizbuysell.com/insight-report/  M&A Seller Financing: A Complete Guide - https://morganandwestfield.com/knowledge/ma-seller-financing-a-complete-guide/  Sign Up for My Newsletter Here: https://ajosborne.com/newsletter?el=pc-ajo-ep52
