How to buy a small business without an MBA, private equity, or a search fund. Every Monday: a live BizBuySell deal breakdown — purchase price, SBA 7(a) financing math, red flags, and what the seller's P&L actually shows.

Built for self-funded searchers, ETA buyers, and main street operators who want to own what they run.

Episode #34
Greyson Boerner spent years chasing startups before a vague listing for a "furniture repair company" turned out to be a 28-year-old church pew restoration shop doing $400,000 in SDE. He paid 3x, financed it self-funded SBA to keep 89% of the equity, and is on pace for $2 million in revenue in year one — up about 50%.
Episode #33
A 1982-vintage independent auto repair shop in Mahoning County, Ohio is listed at $295,999 against $152,961 of SDE. That is 1.94x, below the bottom quartile for Ohio auto repair. Jordan walks the SBA math, the 40.2% margin question, and the one thing that decides whether this is a bargain or a job with a note attached.
Episode #32
After 25 years in corporate IT, Gina Rosen bought Seasons Jewelry, an Atlanta wholesaler she'd been a customer of, for about $425K with no SBA loan. She took no salary, found the missing sales function, and grew sales 42%
Episode #31
A four-year-old residential HVAC company in Fort Myers, Florida, asking $350K on $127K of SDE. We run the multiple, the full SBA math, and whether the license leaves with the seller.
Episode #30
Enrique Rodriguez bought MAC General, a Sterling, VA electrical contractor, for $450,000 all-cash. One year later revenue went from $1.35M to a projected $4M.

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
