Ex-cop John Hubbard bought a $5m trailer manufacturing biz from an absentee owner & expects to grow to $12m by 2024. Themes from John’s interview:
Learning how to run a business, hands-on, before acquiring one
Transferring military skills to business acquisition
Raising money on Searchfunder.com
Asking “dumb questions” to learn quickly
Choosing self-funded over a traditional search fund to achieve the lifestyle he wanted
Firing half his customers in the first month of ownership
Why your search shouldn’t ignore manufacturing businesses
