The cool part of this aerospace shop: the customers provide the raw materials.

No exposure to commodity prices. 60% margins. Defense contracts. Machines maxed out.

Which leaves the big question... why are they selling?

@BillDA, @thegeneralmills, @endresenheather, and @jordanfliegel dig in.

This Caribbean bridge and runway builder is doing 26% margins.

So are you buying the in-house concrete plant, or the 3rd-generation political ties that won't transfer to a new owner?

@girdley, @BillDA, @thegeneralmills and @AlexfromFranzy dig in.

We looked at a vacation adventure business in Hawaii going for $650K.

Some cool trucks and assets, worth about $250K.

But is the brand and SEO actually worth another $400K on top of that?

@BillDA, @girdley, @thegeneralmills and @jordanfliegel dig in.

A $1.8 million wooden baseball bat manufacturer.

$485K cash flow on $676K in revenue... what a margin!

Is it real? Is it manufacturing risk?

Or is it a great opportunity in the corporate gifting market?

@BillDA, @bedrockqoewill, and @jordanfliegel take a look.

This one could be a hidden gem: a 33-year-old automated gate and access control business in Denver, Colorado.

It's only selling for $1M, and we kicked around a scheme to acquire it for under $50K.

Could be a great first acquisition for some lucky buyer out there.

@BillDA, @thegeneralmills, @girdley, and @jordanfliegel discuss.

You could buy this roofing business... but you're buying yourself a partner.

Is buying 51% of a business worth the headache?

If things went bad, you can MAYBE take away his job. But he's collecting his $0.49 regardless.

Is this a recipe for disaster?

Pressure's on for this episode: the broker is on the call!

This RV content site has been sitting unsold since November.

$271K ask. 95% net margin. Under 2X multiple. No face dependency.

So why can't Brad move it? @thegeneralmills, @girdley, and @jordanfliegel dig in.

SC (and Southeast) friends, would love to have you come join us.

Really excited about this meet up and hosting with Brandon Mendez.

We did one a couple years ago and had a great turnout. I know there were several folks who were actively looking for businesses to buy then, who have completed acquisitions since.

@acquanon , presented by @Acquisition_Lab , has allowed me to continue to connect with so many interesting people in the M&A and ETA space and it's so much fun to get more of these folks in the same room.

RSVP link in comments.

This 80-year-old Massachusetts gear shop is asking $1.25M with $275K SDE.

But take out a salary, rent, and maintenance capex and you're close to zero.

@girdley, @BillDA, @endresenheather, and @jordanfliegel debate who actually buys this - and how.
