Thank you for the content. It is interesting, informative, and reasoned - a rarity for the internet. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be starting a new hype channel later once I've taken all the excitement out of the internet. :)

Thanks David. Good, sensible advice as always. Of course, it's easy to neglect the idea of holding sufficient cash! I love the blue Spiderman btw. How did you know i watched till the end?!

David do you have a video talking about franchise opportunities such as SuperCuts etc ? If not can you make one please

[@DavidCBarnett]

Thanks, Great suggestion.

[@aantix]

Thank-you David for the insight. I'm curious - if I found an acquisition target, say a SaaS at 20m asking price (4x revenue) and had an investor to back the deal, what sort of equity split do you see, assuming that myself (a software engineer of 24 years) will run the company? Assume the investor wants to be passive.

[@DavidCBarnett]

It depends on who you find and what they want. You're basically crafting a product and trying to sell it to an investor. In this case, the product is a 'security...' either a share, class of shares or a debt vehicle of some kind or some hybrid in between. Likely, you'll end up with some kind of arrangement with a preferred rate of return on the investor's money, the requirement that they get their money out before you do, and some % of the common stock so they can cash in when the business is sold or that they can sell to you later. When making your security, just compare it with other options. ie the preferred rate of return is going to have to look attractive when compared with gov't bonds, so a 6% preferred rate of return is likely not going to be attractive. Cheers

Great point you made at the end of the video. Where is AOL now? Yahoo? Facebook is declining, and big tech might get regulated and even disappear in the next 10 years!

[@DavidCBarnett]

Yes, businesses rarely last forever esp in the SMB space.

[@zackjensen4484]

David, what about industries that sell for low EBITA multiples like accounting? Besides the risks there it seems very possible to get 500k to even 1M ebita (assuming you have an accounting background or are able to hire accountants to replace the seller who is 99% of the time doing most the work)

[@DavidCBarnett]

I don't think an accounting firm doing $1M in EBITDA would be selling for a low multiple. That would be a pretty big business.

[@zackjensen4484]

@@DavidCBarnett I am under LOI for an accounting firm, 1.2m SDE purchase price is ~ 1.3x revenue at 2.1M. perhaps I'm getting a good deal or I'm missing something big xD. I want to thank you so much for all your content its been helping tremendously through this process

I don’t think Gold is the most liquid asset, is it?

[@DavidCBarnett]

There is always a market for gold, anywhere on Earth and there is no counterparty risk, unlike most assets. It's why central banks hold it.

[@gaving9463]

My 1st experience with a business broker was about a month ago when i found a business that im interested in on BizQuest. I spoke to that broker about 4 times. Just as soon as i told him that i would bring my business attorney in on any deal that I may close, he ghosted me. That put a Sour taste in my mouth for brokers and I don't trust them ‼️

[@DavidCBarnett]

They're all individual. Next time may be better but every buyer will eventually need a lawyer. Maybe they found a better prospect to buy?

[@lowrider5717]

Why couldn’t you buy a business and scale it to a $500k with a good manager?

[@DavidCBarnett]

Sure, the difficulty is not in creating this plan. It's in executing and achieving the results.
