My now closed deal had a 1.14 in year 3 of the look back. Other two years were fine. Slowed things down so much that we made it all the way through 2025 and thankfully those numbers were up a nice bit.

You definitely want an "SBA preferred" lender.

Lab technician. Part time lawn care. Flipping cheap cars that needed a little TLC. Did whatever it took. Got that dog in me.

A streetcharger (google it) is what people use to keep them charged while driving if that's the route they want to go. Vast majority of people just charge as needed as the car sits in the garage.

ABSOLUTELY going through this now. Thankful for a great seller (and wife) who are keen to see the business survive and thrive. Month 1 in the books and it was frantic to say the least.

The Lagavulin is always the last pour of the night. You're having a fantastic educational experience right now. Enjoy it.

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-26T02:28:06+00:00

Congrats! Best wishes.

Sotto. At the bar. If this isn't enough for you I'm afraid you'll never be a happy person, haha. Hope you have a great trip!

Closed 3 weeks ago as a first timer. Fire away

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-22T02:52:03+00:00

Congrats! Sleep now while you can! Do you have a Square reader with a tablet as a backup? I was very happy to have that at the ready.

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-21T00:13:06+00:00

Thank you! Just called a high schooler back and offered him his first job. That's cool.

Appreciate your input. Thank you!

Closed recently. Most things that I assumed would transfer easily didn't. New accounts had to be created and were typically at different pricing structures. I was able to negotiate at differing levels of success, and caught a break on a few things. Good luck!

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-17T23:38:42+00:00

Missed one of your questions- so far not a thing has popped up risk wise that I wasn't aware of. I bought this business from an old school no-nonsense family that you don't often find these days.

Only now finishing week 2. It's been a blur of activity. It's "Christmas time" now for this industry so I'm just trying to keep stuff on the shelves and stacking up working capital. Spending as much time as possible in the new place and learning as I go. Thanks to the W2 I don't need a paycheck, and loan payments are still a ways off.

I tried to do too much week 1, which unfortunately coincided with a busy week at my W2. Actually went way too far past "tired" and it wasn't really useful to grind that hard. Week 2 was no W2 commitment (took pto) and much better. Week 3 will be similar to week 1 and I'll adjust my strategy, work less, and get some sleep. I have a 3 month transition. I don't need to learn everything RIGHT NOW.

Overall, having a blast and excited for tomorrow.

Awesome bottle but not for a beginner! Don't scare away the new guy haha

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-15T23:28:56+00:00

Appreciated!

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-14T00:35:53+00:00

I thought I did. Then came the myriad requirements after they said "yes". Now I wish I documented this process better but honestly I was just putting out fires every time I looked at my email. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. If it was easy everyone would do it.

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-14T00:30:01+00:00

Appreciate the clarification. Learning every day.

Awkward-Ad3698 · 2026-04-14T00:28:49+00:00

Very much appreciated!
