7 ways you can do deals without money:
At least 3.3 Million businesses have closed forever since 2020.
Small business owners never WANT to close.
What do they really want?
β€’ A legacy.
β€’ Community.
β€’ Relevance.
…Or at least a little money on a sale.
Here’s why a business almost never needs to close its doors for $0...
1. Employee Acquisition
Low-cost win-win:
β€’ YOU get much-needed, reliable employees (+ their client lists).
β€’ Seller gets finder’s fee for referring employees that stay minimum of X time.
β€’ Employees stay employed (+ a % rev share for clients they bring along).
2. Seller Financing
Use the profits of the business over X amount of time to pay off the seller.
Not quite $0, but a good way to get in with a low down payment.
I know someone who just did:
$675k deal
94% seller financing
= only $40k down
3. Cost Decrease Acquisition
Not popular, but it works.
The idea is to immediately cut costs to make up some of the close price.
Close on the biz – hero
Start restructuring – villain
But learn to cut the cancer without killing the patient...
And you get paid like a surgeon.
I know I promised you 7 reasons...
But the rest made it in today's newsletter.
