šŸŽ™ļøThis Software Engineer bought a $3.2M business with a baby on the way

Hello SMB Deal Hunters!

I’m very excited to share this week’s interview with Kofi Acheampong.

Kofi’s interview is unique because he actually went through our Pro program and bought a Home Restoration business cash-flowing $715k+ / year in a record 5 months.

But this interview goes a lot deeper into…

šŸ’” How Kofi actually launched a software startup that got to #3 on Product Hunt - and how he walked away when his wife got pregnant and he had no health insurance.

šŸ’” How he bought his $3.2M business with only 5% down and 8 months later, he’s already under LOI on a second deal with 67% seller financing.

šŸ’” How he succeeded in buying the business after 6-7 other people had already tried and failed (including the current GM…who also happened to be the seller’s son-in-law)

Here’s his must-watch story…

And some of the juiciest lessons…

ā‰ļø Kofi was able to grow his first business from $4.2M in revenue to $5M (with two major tweaks)

ā‰ļø He also had to fire his General Manager within 30 days of taking over (and was still able to keep growing the business)

And the interview is jam packed with honest reflections on the process of business ownership like…

"It almost feels like you just went from chilling in your basement, hacking on code and playing video games and all of a sudden you're responsible for making sure people get paid…It is just a whole different ballgame."
