Monday Tip – Don’t Look for Deals, Look for Owners
One mistake beginners make in business acquisition is spending all their time searching listing websites.
BizBuySell, BizQuest, LoopNet — those are fine, but remember something important:
The best deals are rarely listed.
Why?
Because great businesses usually sell before they ever hit the public market.
Owners often sell to:
competitors
employees
people who reach out directly
So instead of only browsing listings this week, try this simple exercise.
Pick one industry you like and reach out to 5 owners directly.
Example industries: • Machine shops
• HVAC companies
• Small manufacturers
• Laundromats
• Service businesses
Your message can be simple:
> “Hi, my name is _____. I'm looking to acquire a small business in this industry over the next year. If you ever consider selling, I’d love to connect.”
You might hear nothing from four people.
But the one conversation you start could be where a real opportunity begins.
Remember:
Deal flow isn’t found.
Deal flow is built.
If anyone here tries this today, comment below and let us know how it goes.
