Description
Buying a business may sound out of your element. Stocks are one thing, and real estate is another, but what about buying businesses? Isn’t business buying something reserved for large companies, wealthy entrepreneurs, or seriously experienced store owners? Funnily enough, the business of buying businesses may be one of the most overlooked, yet most profitable ways to make more money, work less, and retire richer. Don’t believe us? Just listen to Tim Delaney.Tim did not take the standard wealth-building route. He was making just over $2,000 per year while working in the Peace Corps after college. From there, he was hired on by other non-profits when the opportunity to buy a business fell into his lap. It didn’t require a ton of money, but it did require some sweat equity and a fair amount of time. While he didn’t end up taking the first opportunity that came his way, he did end up buying a business shortly after. And if you like hops-laden libations as much as Mindy and Scott, you’ll love hearing about Tim’s business.Tim invested in a local liquor store that had almost zero technological improvements. No point of sale system, no running inventory, and a cash register that was appropriate for the 1950s, not the 2010s. Tim saw an opportunity, and with the right upgrades, he was able to turn this into a full-fledged business with multiple employees, hundreds of thousands in profit, and the best part of all, a 10-hour per week work schedule for Tim. Today you’ll hear exactly how Tim did it, how much money it took, and how you can repeat the process.In This Episode We CoverLiving frugally even when making very little and how your savings can catapult your wealthHow to buy a business and what it takes to turn an outdated trade aroundWhat types of opportunities to look for when shopping for a business to buySBA loans, seller financing, and how to finance a small business with very little downHiring, firing, and how to keep a passionate staff paid and happy with workCommercial real estate investing and turning profits into propertyAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetBusiness Analyzer SpreadsheetAlternative Investments: How to Determine Which Option(s) Are Right For YouClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-325Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
