BizBuySell

That's just a fact.

That was actually proven by BizBuySell.

I don't know if you know that.

That's right.

You know what I mean? And so absolutely should be thinking about that, even if it, today's the first day you open your gym.

Yeah, and, and I'll tell you, after thinking about, you know, like having these conversations, really getting back and thinking about the difference between those that go on and have a, an, a great exit, um, with a valuation that actually, you know, carries some weight, not the 30,000, you know, 40,000 exits on BizBuySell type of thing, but where you actually, you know, you walk away with something from all of the work that you've put in over the years.

The big caveat, I think, is systems, you know? Um- If somebody comes along, like you were saying, you know, the buyer comes along, they want a turnkey as- they want to add that to their portfolio.

They don't wanna buy that job.

Marketplaces, of course, there's others.

There's BizBuySell.

There's BizSky.

I can't remember all of them.

So about a year ago, Sujith set out to buy a business.

The first one he found on BizBuySell, a boutique auto repair shop near his home in Orange County, turned out to be the one he bought.

Listen for how he financed it.

No SBA loan, but a HELOC from a credit union at a rate 3.5% below what the SBA would have charged.

But that's how I concluded service businesses.

And then I went into auto services business.

And then I started looking at, you know, I didn't even know BizBuySell existed.

I just Googled it.

What a perfect question.

So the Zillow in my world is called BizBuySell.

I call it the McDonald's of buying a business.

It might not be the best burger you ever had, but you probably started there.
