Listing of the Week:
Johnathan Choe is selling a 20-plus-year-old road safety business. Currently, the business is bringing in just over $2 million in revenue and is earning between $ 350,000 and $ 360,000 in SDE. The business is priced at $1.2 million. It’s a solid business with a good reputation and presents an excellent opportunity to enter a particularly stable industry – we’re going to be building and repairing roads for a long time, especially with the new infrastructure bill! For more information, call Johnathan at (541) 213-0234 or email him at jchoe@tworld.com
Deal of the Week: Doug Kose tells us about a call center for a network of franchisees that has been running along smoothly for over 15 years. With a team working from home, the business has remarkably low overheads. Previously estimated to be worth $1,1 million by another broker, Doug rated it as closer to $1,5 million and sold it at full price after only three months on the market! For more information call Doug at (865) 315-7327 or email him at dkose@tworld.com

Quotes:
“There's really no such thing as a fully absentee business.” — @acags [0:03:40]
“We are so lucky in the US to have a program like the SBA. The reality of it is, is, if we did not have the SBA, there would be little to no business funding for small businesses, acquisitions, startups, nothing.” — @jessfialkovich [0:11:43]
“Sometimes conventional financing is not as favorable to the owner as the SBA. So, if you're going to use third-party financing to acquire a business, SBA is the vehicle to do that.” — @jessfialkovich [0:13:49]
“There is no perfect business. – A business is a full-time thing, and nothing's perfect. There's always employee issues, there's always supply side issues, there's always things that you're going to have to manage.” — @acags [0:21:44]
