75%: That's the percentage of all small businesses that fail. I want to help you avoid the pain of that failure. And when it comes to pain, I've had more than my fair share. I lost $50,000 in my first deal and lost $75,000 in another deal. I've gotten up-close and personal with failure, I know what it looks like and what it ate for breakfast. And now you can how to avoid it by learning from my mistakes.
So what changed? One thing: instead of starting businesses, I started buying them. And in this video I'll show you the pitfalls and pain-points to avoid. Should you have a partner? What does that agreement look like? And when do you EXIT??
What about buying franchises? You'll see what red flags to look for so you can avoid turning your new business into your next job. I go over the "who" not "how" when it comes to buying a business. Unless you're a pro, you need to find a "who" to help you, until you can figure out the "how." SBA loans? Might want to think twice, and I tell you why in this video.
Working a small business can be hard, but so is a day job. You get to choose your hard. Have you decided to take the leap? What pitfalls do you wish you knew about before you started? Comment below!

    Hi Codie, thank you for the videos. I am binge watching them at this stage. Your bird-eye description shows all the areas to pay attention to. I would be really interested in your "deep-dive" view on 3 matters (1) The risk diversification methods (seller financing, loans, etc.) but more from a contractual standpoint i.e. how do you usually structure a deal to mitigate the risk. What are the key points to focus on ? (2) Negotiation ... it is a whole art in itself. How do you approach it from a psychological and business point of view ? What are your objectives, how do you prepare ? (3) A Judo black belt veteran once told me: "Sometimes winning is about not losing". What are the main or "catastrophic mistakes" to avoid as a principle in a deal ? You mentionned the limit of 10-20% loss in case your acquisition goes sideways as an example. But over the +100 deals you have led, did you observe major recurring mistakes people made ? Thanks a lot again !

    Great pieces of advise here. At the same time, I don't seem to find any businesses that I can actually buy with these criteria in mind. They are either too expensive (and seller usually is not ok with financing more than 30% of the deal), or just not worth it (i.e. not meeting the criteria here). Maybe it's the relative isolation (on an island) and size of the city I'm in (though 300K people is not that small), but it is really tricky.

    Cody, I’ve been following your channel for a year or so and appreciate your knowledge. I have question for you that I don’t think you have covered. Im not the typical investor, my full-time job is in healthcare and I’m rewarded very good pay for the work I do. Thus, Im able to make things happen very quick. For example, I had purchased a car wash with a partner and we weren’t on the same page. Like you said, I finally had to write him a fat check to move on. After purchasing his half and spending another $50k remodeling, it’s making very good money. Has me interested in other car washes or other businesses. I know it’s hard to say I’m going to quit the job that pays me $600k a year, but I really do want to create my exit strategy from the healthcare field. Right now I pay for everything with cash but while I’m looking at other car washes to buy, when do you choose to start leveraging yourself? Also in the case of a car wash, how do you choose when is the right time to purchase a business that is located out of state or too far away for you to manage on a daily basis? I keep looking at car washes located in my general area and nothing is for sale or they are listed for premium prices.
