Codie Sanchez explains how to acquire businesses with no money by acting as a finder for investors. You locate businesses matching a buyer's criteria, introduce them to the seller, broker the deal, and take a finder's fee or equity stake. Learn the market this way before buying yourself.
You buy a business with $0. Here's the way I bet nobody's ever told you it's called a finder's fee. You're actually not going to buy a business. You're not going to put any risk on the line. You're not going to put any cash online. You don't have to operate a business. What you do have to do is find somebody like me who's buying a ton of businesses. Maybe you go to a link like the one in my bio. You see the specific deal box that I have, AKA the things I want in a business that I'm going to buy. You go search around for a business just like that. You find one maybe here on a site like this, and you say, hey Cody, I found this business. It looks like it meets your deal bo criteria. If I make an introduction to the seller, to you, get the financials for you, and broker this deal between the two of us, will you give me a percentage of the business or maybe 5 or $10,000? If I like the business, I'm going to say, absolutely, no problem. And you go around and you do that to a bunch of investors. That's how you buy a business. Without any skin in the game, without any risk, without having to operate a business. Then after you do a few of those bad boys, you're going to understand the game and you might be ready to buy your own business.
