Buying two businesses at the same time might sound impossible, but my client Lyle did it.

Lyle closed deals on a 5-star restaurant with a bar and a restaurant with a bowling alley.

Both have the potential to reach $2M in volume.

Here are the lessons from those deals:

—

📈 It took Lyle 9 months and reviewing 87 businesses to find the right ones. His persistence paid off, leading to these amazing opportunities.

–

💼 Lyle negotiated a $125K down payment from his acquisition target food vendors, securing rebate funding without using his own money. Smart leverage and negotiation!

–

🛠️ His real key to success: relentless pursuit. Lyle was willing to ask hard questions and built strong relationships, climbing the ladder to decision-makers.

–

🌟 Lyle's approach of empowering employees led to significant improvements and higher performance in his new businesses.

–

📊 Due diligence is crucial. Lyle worked closely with the accountant and lawyer, ensuring every detail was covered before finalizing the deals.

–

🏢 Building rapport: Lyle met with business owners multiple times, understanding their motivations and negotiating terms that benefited both parties.

–

🚀 Never quit. Lyle emphasizes patience and persistence. His story is a testament to the power of dedication and the rewards good business acquisitions can bring.
