- 6How to buy a small e-commerce business for under 20kFinding a profitable e-commerce acquisition under a $20,000 budget is difficult because revenue multiples at this price point rarely match sound unit economics. This leaves buyers searching for under-optimized businesses where the core product is solid, but the founder has failed to scale marketing and distribution.
- 2Do I need a degree to open a restaurant?Formal culinary or business degrees are not strictly required to open a restaurant, but aspiring owners often wonder if studying fields like accounting will help them run the business and provide a backup plan. Weighing this against being broke and struggling with unrelated career paths makes it difficult to decide whether to invest time and money into school before launching.
- 2How do you value a restaurant without clean add-backs?Without clean add-backs or certainty on whether to use multiples of cash flow or seller's discretionary earnings, owners who only know their rough sales and take-home pay risk severely lowballing themselves. This makes it difficult to come up with a trusted valuation or defend a number once a buyer gets into diligence.
