I will show you how to buy companies for zero cash upfront without using lawyers or leverage

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY A COMPANY THAT’S LISTED FOR SALE

Buying a company for sale is like a doctor looking for patients in a graveyard.

If it’s listed “for sale”, it’s dead.

In fact, you’ll probably pay too much cash upfront, get ripped off and could end up chained to the business… sometimes for years.

Here’s why:

At the “for sale” stage, the business owner has mentally checked out of the game. For them, it’s just about the money now. You can’t negotiate a good deal.

Sadly, these arrangements were put together well before you entered the picture and there’s no room for creative negotiations. (Like an offer with no cash upfront.)

To make matters worse, you’ll often speak with a middle man , rather than the business owner. This could be their accountant, lawyer or broker. And what do these individuals want? The highest possible fee for their professional service.

You’ll compete with real (or pretend) buyers in a bidding war that balloons the price of the business beyond what it’s worth.

Unfortunately, people think it’s okay to borrow loads of money to meet the demands of the seller as long as the income covers the loan.

I call this the ‘buy to let mentality’. The idea that ‘if your tenant pays the mortgage you can ignore the price.

This is dangerous. Why? Because you don’t make money when you run a business. You make money when you sell it!

If you manage a business for 5 or 10 years just to pay the bank, you risk failure and sacrifice your most precious commodity of all… time.

Worse still, a small business for sale means the main manager (usually the owner) is about to quit. Are you ready to jump into his shoes?

Congratulations, you’ve just won a full time job!

Heck, if you do a LBO (leveraged buyout) and borrowed money to do the deal, not only are you a slave to the business but the money from the job goes to the bank for the next 5 to 7 years.

Not fun.

Property experts don’t buy houses from estate agent windows.

Likewise, you shouldn’t buy businesses from insolvency practitioners, ‘for sale’ websites or brokers.

Instead, look for opportunities that are NOT listed on the market. Seek out companies that are on the brink of insolvency, yet hang on by a thread.

Look for owners that think their businesses are worthless. The person who hasn’t paid their staff for weeks and is about to shut their doors.

So how do you find these business owners?

And if you find them, how do you create a win-win situation for you and the seller?
