You’re not buying a business with no money down. Period.

Here’s the truth: real deals require real strategy, and usually, real capital. Sellers aren’t handing over profitable companies for nothing. Would you?
If a business is cash-flowing, stable, and well-run, it's going to command terms. That doesn’t mean you need to come up with 100% cash at close, but expecting to bring nothing to the table? That’s a losing mindset.
And when you do find a zero-down opportunity? It’s probably distressed. Think: bleeding cash, poor leadership, legal problems, or a seller walking away because the ship’s sinking. Can you turn it around without deep experience, cash reserves, or a team in place? Probably not.
Here’s what works:
— Understanding the business inside and out
— Structuring the deal based on real numbers, not hype
— Showing the seller why you are the right buyer
— Bringing cash, credit, skills, or a combination that gets the deal done
If you’re serious about acquiring a business that funds your freedom, not another job or a mess, you need to be strategic. Not hopeful.
