Hello SMB Deal Hunters!
Iām very excited to share this weekās interview with Kofi Acheampong.
Kofiās 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 intoā¦
š” 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.
š” How he bought his $3.2M business with only 5% down and 8 months later, heās already under LOI on a second deal with 67% seller financing.
š” How he succeeded in buying the business after 6-7 other people had already tried and failed (including the current GMā¦who also happened to be the sellerās son-in-law)
Hereās his must-watch storyā¦
And some of the juiciest lessonsā¦
āļø Kofi was able to grow his first business from $4.2M in revenue to $5M (with two major tweaks)
āļø 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 likeā¦
"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 paidā¦It is just a whole different ballgame."
