I discuss buying, selling, financing and managing small and medium sized businesses either alone or with guests.
I've started, bought, sold and closed businesses.
Author of three best-selling business books; 'Invest Local: a guide to superior investment returns in your own community,' 'Franchise Warnings: What you really need to know before you buy' and 'How To Sell My Own Business: A guide to selling your own business without paying a broker's commission.' all available as well as 5 other books on Amazon or from www.DavidCBarnett.com
What Number Do I Multiply? EBIT, EBITDA, SDE???
Youtube viewer Canucklehead wants to know which number to multiply and when.
Great question.
One of the biggest problems in business valuation is when people confuse valuation factors.
Apply a 3X EBITDA factor to SDE and you’ll overpay for the business.
But are these hard and fast rules… or just guidelines?
In this week’s video, I discuss when the different cash flow levels made sense and why, in the end, you need to be thinking beyond just math.

Victor wants to know how to avoid the ‘get rich quick’ mentality that is so often advertised.
Firstly though, I’m going to tell you about the ‘get rich quick’ scheme that I bought into and how I quadrupled my investment in under a year.
That’s not a joke. It’s real and I’m also going to share how most other people would not have had the same results.
Then, the low-risk way to build your fortunes. Incrementalism.

Romil wants to know how one might get a job before becoming a buyer!
It sounds like an easy win/win strategy.
This question was inspired by my recent interview with John Mill about hiring your buyer.
What I do in this week’s video is tell you about several different cases that I have first-hand knowledge of.
People say they want to execute this strategy, but the proof is in the pudding.
AND what some of these employee buyers may be missing when they plot their strategy…

Shalina asks about high bank debt leverage. Does it matter? Does David hate leverage?
Shalina was asking a follow up question from what she saw in my video ‘questions about seller financing.’ https://youtu.be/YhEs5CG3uGs
It’s a great question because it leaves you wondering if you really can/should buy a business with only 10% of your own money.
I’m not against high leverage if the business has demonstrated cash flows and can service the debt.
WHERE you borrow the money is sometimes more important than how much.
It has to do with the qualities of the debt.

10x-ing the value of the solid foundation
Working with managers to grow the business
The simplicity of the deal
Don't miss this conversation if you ever intend to exit a business. These plans can give you control over timing and remove financing and other complications for buyers.

Buying a Business for Retirement Income with David Barnett
Original show notes.. reposted with permission.
-------------------------------------
On today's show, I talk with David Barnett, who is an expert in buying and selling business. I wanted to come at the conversation from the angle of buying a business as an income generating asset in retirement. He had a lot of wisdom to share. We cover:
How did David become an expert in buying and selling "main street" businesses?
Should you buy or sell a business in retirement?
Aligning your business venture to your interests
Why buying a business and being "hands-off" is an unrealistic expectation
Don't be fooled by the promise of buying an "absent-owner" business
There is a lot more to owning a self-serve car wash than just collecting quarters
What are the most important things to think about when buying a main street business
Why do you need to make a proper cash flow projection
Three components of the typical financing for main street business transactions
Red flags when buying a business
How Seller Financing can help foster a successful transition
The fragile nature of businesses
Does the goodwill of a business reside with the business or the owner?

Can I Buy a Business with No Money Down? + Other Common Question with David C Barnett
Ryan was kind enough to let me share this track.
here are his original show notes.....
David Barnett has been an owner, broker, buyer, seller, and everything in between. He’s written a dozen books or so about buying and building companies. This is a fun conversation.
We dive into questions such as…
— Are small businesses a better investment than properties?
— Is this a good business?
— I’ve heard you can buy a business with zero down. Is that true?
— Are there businesses I can buy while keeping my day job?

JT wants to know about losing a house to the bank
Can someone lose their house to the bank in a bad deal?
It’s not something that usually happens if you buy right.
What I’ve seen more of is people losing a house after their business becomes more successful.
There is risk in business, you need to offset this in your dealings outside the business.
