Description
How to buy a small business without an MBA, private equity, or a search fund. Every Monday: a live BizBuySell deal breakdown — purchase price, SBA 7(a) financing math, red flags, and what the seller's P&L actually shows. Every Thursday: a buyer's story — HVAC, laundromat, auto shop, bowling alley — and what happened after close. Built for self-funded searchers, ETA buyers, and main street operators who want to own what they run.
