EVERYONE IS OBSESSED W/ The VALUE of a Business.
OMG - how much did @TheHustle or @MorningBrew sell for?
I guarantee that # is less interesting than the terms.
Devil is always in the deal details.
Know how to work the details, you& #39;ll own the deal.

Remember this:
Every deal has two aspects Price & Terms.
My saying, "You can have your price and my terms, or my price and your terms... but you can& #39;t have both.

SECRET: Always default to controlling the terms.
The price is what amateurs focus on.

I bought into a cash-flowing small gym biz.
I& #39;m the money, a friend was the operator.
Biz does $350k in profit annually. Roughly $1M purchase price
Used SBA loan through local bank w/ down payment of 14%

Seller REALLY wanted biz sold for 7 figs... so had fun structuring:
- $140k, down payment
- 40% equity
- accelerated distribution schedule of 50% until loan paid off
- 40% profit distributions after
- Initial $ repaid in 18 months
- addtl $50k to personal guarantee 40% of loan
- $140k, down payment
- 40% equity
- accelerated distribution schedule of 50% until loan paid off
- 40% profit distributions after
- Initial $ repaid in 18 months
- addtl $50k to personal guarantee 40% of loan
What did this mean for me?
- $175k cashflow year 1 (50% of $350k profits)
- downpayment recouped in 12 months
- addtl $50k paid out for loan guarantee
= $225k payout year 1
By year 2 I& #39;ve made enough profits to cover the entire loan if I have to pay it out.

Operator:

- took on only $430k in debt
- after year 3 will start paying off loan
= He& #39;ll start making $210k w/ NO growth year 3.

Keys;
- I don& #39;t want to operate, I was the $ so the operator can do the work.
- I negotiated 1/2 of $ to me monthly
- I call this a $ for time structure: Your $ works for you, while your time is yours.
*All #& #39;s changed a bit for those who know what co this is :)
