If you're not collecting cash flow, you'll never really be rich.
There's a ton of boring businesses that practically print money.
But some are better than others.
These are the cash flow kings (8 examples):
1) ATM Routes.
Okay, it's almost as if these things actually do print money (literally).
I've seen someone do this:
- He put the machines on his credit card
- Filled them with his own money
- Eventually paid them off
Then?
Free and clear cash flow.
2) Storage Facilities.
It's like real estate, but for things people don't have the space for.
3 benefits of self-storage:
1. Simplistic business model
2. Low staff requirements
3. Incredible cash flow
You really can't argue with this one.
3) Accounting Firms.
CPA Firms will always have a soft spot in my small business portfolio.
Why?
They are recession-resistant.
They operate at 40%-55% margins.
They will always be a necessary service.
Plus you can buy one at 1x-1.5x annual revenue.
4) Pool Cleaning Companies.
Down South where I live, pool cleaning companies might as well be essential.
I'm a big fan of them because you can tack on some extra services.
Few examples:
1. Pool equipment maintenance
2. Pool equipment repair
3. Pool cage cleaning
5) Parking Lots.
There are only 2 words that truly capture the essence of a parking lot acquisition.
Cash. Cow.
I mean, how much easier could it get?
Just doesn't get more boring but profitable than a parking lot, nothing beats it.
6) Portable Toilet Rentals.
What's that I smell?
Profit.
Think about this for a second:
- Outdoor gatherings
- Construction sites
- Concert venues
Every event you've ever attended needed someone to supply the Johns.
I rest my case.
7) Tent Rentals.
Can't stand the smell of supplying the Johns, you can bring the tents.
- Parties
- Weddings
- Music festivals
- Sports tournaments
Let's be honest.
No one wants to pitch a giant tent, they hire someone else to do it (for lots of money).
8) Ice Vending Machines.
I know a guy who operates a pretty successful vending machine business.
But if you do ice vending, guess who doesn't need to go buy snacks every week?
You 🫡🏼
Literally all they do is dispense bagged ice.
So...
I told you these are the Crème de la crème.
If you had to choose one winner for "The Best Boring Business of All Time Award," which one are you crowning?
I appreciate you being here!
