Rebecca Shields it might not be unsuccessful business, it’s probably that they are not running as well as they should. If the parents sell it to the kid and he sells off the inventory, they can probably turn the business around. But the business is not worth 600K.

If they're clearing $100k net per year, I wouldn't say its unsuccessful, but it is under-performing. As Dave said, clear out 60% of the inventory and look at ways of increasing sales. I would bet part of the reason why the business is under-performing is the owners are old and running it like they did 20 years ago. New owners could likely double or triple the revenue while halving the amount of inventory over a period of 5 years.

You are right. My mom co-signed a line of credit for my sister for about $50k about 10 years ago. Nowadays, the loan is sitting at around $53k. My mom has always been good with money, but at the time I don't think she understood what she was signing. My sisters house was paid off around that time, but needed a co signer because her credit was a mess. My mom has always been sensible with money. She is always being harassed by debt collectors telling her to pay her bills. It makes her very upset, she doesn't need it, she is 83 years old. My sister could have lost her house in the '90's, but my parents stepped in and helped. Between my sister and her husband, I think they do OK as far as income, but they are clueless when it comes to paying loans and bills etc. They act like it's not a big deal, and when my mom tells her about calls from the debt collectors, and that she should pay her bills, my sister gets mad. Very ungrateful. Myself, I would not have helped her with the house or line of credit. This whole situation makes me sad, but I don't say anything because it's not my business.

I so agree with Dave on this one. I hope she sees the wisdom of what he's saying -- particularly the part about only buying if there is an arrangement in place to pay it off early. I've been in situations like that in which I tried to set up a business deal based on friendship or family, i.e., "making things easy" for the other party (like she's trying to "make things easy" for her in-laws by accepting this flawed arrangement, not because it makes sense to her, but to make them happy) -- it just doesn't work.

Listen to him. Don’t Do IT!

No bank would lend on this. Dave is right here. Coincidentally, my wife and I were in a situation where we were buying a business from my aunt and uncle. They were selling for 700k and sold to us for 600k. But we net roughly $420k a year. $600k purchase with $100k net yearly is a gold mine if this was real estate but for small business, that’s pretty bad. The parents know it. That’s why they don’t want these guys to pay it early.

Tclucke part of it is psychology. We have a yuengling plant here and the kids don’t automatically inherit the business. They have to buy into it because they’ll have a stronger sense of ownership and because of that, they’ll hopefully care for the business better.

Dave is right! The whole deal stinks from the start.First, sitting on a million in inventory with $100K a year earnings means two problems. First, they overbought inventory, likely at such high prices, they would have to sell at a loss to get rid of it. Second, they can't turnover the inventory (inventory turns are a common measure in inventory-based business). Even in today's "lean" businesses with "just-in-time" delivery, you must turnover your inventory. Dave sees the two problems, leading to a dying or dead business. Either there is no market for the inventory, or they are trying to charge such high prices to cover their losses that nobody is buying from them. The idea of selling the son and daughter-in-law a dead or dying business, who obviously haven't a clue the of gigantic hole they're about to fall into, maybe never to get out without bankruptcy and a divorce, is just evil. His parents KNOW what they are doing to their own son. Those complaining that Dave doesn't know enough about the business and financial situation haven't grasped the essentials. Listen to this woman's answers; she hasn't the foggiest what she's talking about, and have never seen the financials for the business; likely neither has her husband. The financials would send accountants and bankers running for the hills. Wonder what the parents would say if the son wanted to see the financials on the business; likely "oh, you don't need those son". A business making $100K a year on average cannot survive sitting on a million dollars worth of dusty inventory. Bet the Accounts Receivables are a similar nightmare-unpaid and never going to be paid. Oh, and the Accounts Payable?? Uhh...(crickets). But here Son, and don't worry about ever paying us back. As said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail...RRUUNN AAWWAAYY!!

@@samanthacromer5378 Makes sense on book value, but based on the call, I am not sure if they used this definition, as it was said the inventory had 1M book value. If there was zero debt, the company should be worth at least this much. And all businesses, including Dave's, have some liabilities, just not any long term debt. Liabilities such as accounts payable, accrued expenses, wages payable.

@@joeb1522 Dave tends to not finance things but pay in cash therefore he likely wouldnt have accounts payable. Wages payable most likely because unless the business is paying employees a check at the end of the month there would be a wages payable account. But again book value is the price paid minus depreciation. That is simple accounting/book keeping. So if they business isnt worth 1M there is depreciation on the inventory somehow or other. And I'm not pretending that the business in question is run by Dave's principles but liabilities like accounts payable, wages payable, etc are not used to calculate book value of a business anyway. The book value of a business looks at original purchase price minus depreciation.

100%. It wasn’t clear enough and Dave did a poor job asking questions and clarifying things. So she got bad advice in the sense that the person offering the advice didn’t have a clear picture of her situation. Dave is just speaking in generalities that may not apply to her circumstances.

@@ThinkBlueAZ Yes, I completely agree. Dave knew 5% of the facts and quickly jumped to the conclusion it was a bad business deal, but he didn't ask the right questions to know if that was the case. It was very confusing.

Shes going through with it you can tell shes so emotional invested

Guarantee you the actual value of the inventory is maybe $300,000 at best. The other $700,000 is inventory that is worthless. It's obsolete, discontinued, or unsellable.

Oo I’m glad she called him. I hope she followed his advice

Just wait a few years and inherit the business. You'll get it eventually anyway so why waste the money

No, she's HOPING they pass before paying it all back lol

If her husband doesn't agree then she needs to get him on the show and Dave Ramsey can clobber him over the head with some good sense.

The caller really has NO clue.

I think it’s hard to say the business isn’t healthy without seeing full financials.... and depending on seasonality and aging of inventory, the inventory could be healthy... and depending on the multiplier the cost may be reasonable. Strong stance on not enough info.

For me $100 bucks cc debt, I'm definitely going to rice and beans diet asap.

She called her mother-in-law after this call and said "You have a deal!!"

the stuff divorces are built on.

Most people start entrepreneurship by offering services not raising equity and definitely not from family. Great lessons about small business buying here as well. Mental notes taken 📝

He is spot on !!! Being in a family business myself where our parents hold everything we hold nothing but jobs the talk of selling to us is exactly what he is talking about. They do not want to sell because we are making them money the thought of us making what they make from the business is unheard of. All I can say is if you can’t buy it straight out from going to the bank etc do not get in debt with family!!!!!!! It will never be enough for them.

All I can say is there is a reason that they get to buy a business for 40% discount. And they are in a rush to pay enough attention to that reason, which is a dangerous decision.

Parents just need to liquidate and call it a day.

She has no idea what’s going on.

Totally agree Dave. I hope they reconsidered

Dave is very good at business, I learned so much just from this short video

She's not going to listen to Dave. She's going to do exactly what her husband tells her to do.

For over a year I have wondered what kind of business this is !!! Clothing store, liquor store, florist shop, what kind of business is it ??

This woman has no clue about this book of business. Taking on something you don’t understand 🤦‍♀️

This woman is clueless. She shouldn’t have called in. She can’t answer the simplest questions. And Dave didn’t ask the right questions. What kind of business? How much real estate, vehicles, clients, years in business, ect? Was that 100,000 profit the parents part after paying their son’s salary too? Is this a family contract? Meaning no interest? Growth potential? And another thing.. I own my own business and am taking care of my own retirement, when the time comes for me to retire I’m handing it over to my son absolutely free.. why would you want to put your kids in debt for your financial gain? Scumbags...

Not a typical call. Spot on advice. Hope she takes it!!!!

Great call. Direct answer that makes sense

Whoopi voice: You in danger, girl.

Having worked in accounting and finance for 20+ years, I’m constantly being asked why I don’t start my own public accounting firm. My standard reply is that people do some stupid things with their money. I don’t have the patience to mop up the mess. The worse part is occasionally friends and family will ask advice, but turn around and do whatever they want expecting me to magically bail them out of the problem. You have the patience of job. I’d be cursing at half of your callers.

This is good advice. I dont know if she or her husband will take it but it is available here for them to re-listen to while they mull it over.

2 years later: Hi Dave, we’re bankrupt and being sued by our in laws because they’re bankrupt now as well. Also, we just filed for divorce. Dave: Beans and Rice, Rice and Beans

It might be a case of the owners don’t really want to leave there business they just don’t want to work so hard anymore.

I love how he meticulously adjusts his papers when he’s listening to the caller

Poor thing she sounds so unsure and confused. There’s no way she was able to articulate to her husband what Dave said. Her husband should’ve made the call or she needs to have him watch the replay.

I wouldn't buy it from family, period. For one thing if the business isn't my strong suit anyway I"m not the best person to buy it.
