The Beginners Guide to Buying a Business
Honestly… I probably spent way too much time on it 😅 But the goal was simple: Build something I can follow step-by-step, so when I go to buy my next business, I’m not guessing — I’m executing. Think of it like a quick-reference playbook until the entire process is second nature. If you’re trying to get into business acquisitions (especially creative financing), this should help cut the learning curve way down. Would love feedback — seriously. Tear it apart if you need to. I made this to get better… and to help anyone else trying to figure this out alongside me. This poll is to see what you guys want next. I have been working on a few other tools to help us on our journey. Just looking for some input. Thanks friends, have a fantastic day.

I love good calculators. Made a few myself for different creative acquisition structures.
Acquisition in Progress
I just went under contract on a 1.6M business with an additional 1.1M in real estate. For the business I'm doing an SBA7a with a 5% seller carry note on full-stand by to help with the 10% liquidity injection. I am doing more conventional financing on the real estate but trying to get it with no money down. Since I negotiated hard on the real estate and not the business, I'm getting the real estate at a really low basis. Based on market rent and a 7% cap rate, it would easily appraise at 1.8M or more. My hope is that will allow me to bring in a capital partner on the real estate who I should be able to refinance out in 12-24 months. This will hopefully allow me to get into this amazing 2.7M acquisition with less than 100K down. What do you guys think? Is this a good structure?
