The first question we always ask whenever we see these transactions is, "Why is the owner selling such a 'great' company?" Few buyers have a good answer. More often than not, due diligence uncovers serious issues early on. https://t.co/3qME3WXsdv

@Empaua Is the company still operational? Site down and unable to contact anyone. Thanks!

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@wp_rocket Thank you for the explanation - now the long outage makes sense.

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@wp_rocket We'd appreciate more regular updates. Even the "status" page is down now. Could you let us know what is going on and when can we expect operations to resume?

@halfkelly So, an AI system praising another AI system? Didn’t terminator 1 start like that…..🤷‍♂️

@PatrickEBoyle @McdougallJesse I think the second Aa1 is a typo and should be Aa3 - Corp Fin Book

@QBCares - any updates? Cc @QuickBooks

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@QBCares Yeah, but for a more expensive product that offers more user licenses than what regular small businesses have. So, if being financially forced online, what is the incentive to stay with @QuickBooks vs other options?

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@QBCares was is the path forward for small biz owners that want to keep a local/desktop version of @QuickBooks ? (Client for ~20 yrs)

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@ElliottEHolland How do you get past the initial canned responses (eg owner retiring…. Pursing new opportunities)? Clearly, no one sells a great biz unless there is an equally good reason.

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@halfkelly Excellent!

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

Why not say "Approaching break even and expecting to be cash flow positive next year"? Most of the US population is "cash flow positive" if they exclude debt service...

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

I wonder what is their “Community Adjusted EBITDA”? (Cc @halfkelly )

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

X is already cash flow positive not including the cost of servicing debt, per Bloomberg.

The company expects to reach that milestone even including debt by the back half of 2024

BREAKING: The SEC has sued Elon Musk in federal court in San Francisco to force try and force him to testify in the agency’s probe into his purchase of Twitter in 2022, per the Bloomberg.

@lawyer4SMBs We often run into #2. Sellers want their legacy and employees treated well.

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@lawyer4SMBs Is ability to contribute some equity is included in #2?

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]

@halfkelly How do I find the thread about the Brady bonds?

[Marco Terry @marco_terry]
