New to posting on X, but taking a swing. We recently closed 2 acquisitions for niche family entertainment. The deals were funded via a combination of seller / SBA financing. Let’s dive into the deals: Deal 1: $1.2m sale price, including real estate SDE: $350k / RE value: $800k

re: entering the ETA space. If you are asking for the opinion of multiple people to see if you can “make it”, do yourself a favor and don’t do it.

Self-Funded searched: 9 month update - closed on 6 locations with 7 more under LOI - Dealt with insane working capital swings that drained every dollar at various points - Would not go back to W-2, ever TY: Blueprintsmb Chris Hoffmann and many more

Update: First tranche was sent and bounced back because they listed the parent co. and not the sub on the account name line....another week delay.

Update on Year so far: 1. I never want to be asked about Daycare fraud again 2. Expansion drains every dollar of working capital and some. 3. Every seller we engage with is too unique 4. Employees and customers happy 5. Jan budget hit At least no leaks like Blueprintsmb

The worst part of owning an SMB is the daily grind that is just non-stop. There is always something.

Seller and I agreed to operate a specific contract "at-cost" till a large expansion of it takes place in July 2026. No brainer decision. The seller today informed me that "at-cost" means I make no revenue on it till July.....I love this life
