If I own a piece of land on a main local highway, any 3rd parties that would want to develop space to lease to a QSR franchise?

If you are buying or starting a business, try to do it in the teal areas.

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

You don’t need to get a Harvard MBA to be a great SMB owner.

Start visiting businesses in your local community, talk to the owner, and see if you could do that job. Just remember, if you are buying a business with <$400k SDE, you are likely buying a job.

SMB influencers will tell you how easy it is to buy and run your own small business. The truth is this is hard stuff #smbtwitter #passiveincome

@SMBQuest @GoodsCapital @Socalbusinessb1 @ClintFiore @PlaybookAdvisor @Wyatt_Jenkins1 @EdMyso @tsludwig You need to show financials to buy a house these days in the Tri-state area, why wouldn’t a broker ask the same to buy a business? If I were a broker I would do the same

@JasonrShuman That’s only if you can get VC funding for being a non tech-enabled services business

Any multi-unit restaurant franchisors out there on #SMBtwit? Looking to learn more about a niche service sector! #smb #searchfund

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@jarrydosborne @n8lenahan Seconded!

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@manualofideas 👋 We are in the value space in micro-cap private equity

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@ColumbiaETA Pro: Hopefully you are from the area and you will have immediate credibility with sellers. Con: Tend to be less focused on industries so harder to get up to speed on each business

[Steve Ressler @steveressler]

Fun part of ETA community is you learn a lot about all types of businesses and everyone willing to help. Was special that Ari of Arosa who runs great home health care business gave me a call (and a teammate) to talk me through thinking about health needs (& not in their area)

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@J_M_Vogt How does the comp in the role typically work? Is the CEO giving any of their economics to a COS?

[Tyler 👨‍💻☕️ @tyler_berggren]

My wife and I have been building our home cleaning co for 18mo. Today, we own an asset that's worth more than our house (~3x SDE) and we paid for it in sweat.

Granted, it's a small house and a small biz (for now), but that's still amazing to me. #entrepreneurship is powerful.

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

V2 is looking to bring on LPs for the first time. Would love to hear from people that want to invest in or learn more about the micro cap PE space. DMs are open #smb #searchfund

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@ColumbiaETA On the positive make sure to look for any large owner insurance or pension expenses that will not be a go forward cost. Sometimes they forget about those items!

[Jordan @SearchFundGuru]

@braden_live @jarrydosborne I think a lot of the recent trend towards self funded has to do with frothy investor landscape. Many of these equity investors for self funded deals are really buying something that looks much more like expensive debt versus equity which creates poor alignment with the searcher
