Would You Buy This Business... or Run for the Hills?
Hey there, fellow desk jockies! Your weekly biz buying newsletter that is sweeter than a multi-tab spreadsheet with no “#REF!” errors.
This week’s error-free sheet:
Would You Buy This Business… or Run for the Hills?
Would You Buy This Business… or Run for the Hills?
Now you can know in 5 minutes.
Hey, if you’ve ever stared at a deal and thought,
“Is this a gold mine… or a flaming dumpster with decent revenue?”
You’re not alone.
That’s why I built the Deal Scorecard —
A free tool that helps you quickly size up a business across 3 things that actually matter:
Price vs. Value (Are you overpaying like it’s 2021?)
Owner Dependence Risk (If the owner leaves, does the business crumble like my kids’ sandcastle in a rising tide?)
Post-Debt Cash Flow (Will it pay you or just your lender?)
⚡ Takes less than 5 minutes.
🧮 No spreadsheets.
🧢 No MBA required.
I built this for the me’s of the world — dads, moms, mid-career renegades, anyone sick of meetings and ready to own the whole damn thing.

Because life’s too short to buy a bad business.

Let’s Go!
