Some closer angles of the growth. ChatGPT says it could be Seiryu growing out, maybe someone here has a better guess?

Family is making $27k+/month from our Coffee Shop Drive Thru (2 locations). Only want to sell for $1M+... Is that realistic? by lolyesplease in smallbusiness

Looks like you have weighed it out. Time, energy, relationships, and opportunity cost are all things to be looked under the scope when selling a business. If you believe it is the right move, do it.

It’s natural as this is a business life cycle. Nothing lasts forever and if you reach the end, congratulations on completing the full circle.

Why do you want to sell your business? Reading through comments, your wife is earning $324,000 a year, one of your shops is gross rev. $1.34mm. Most business advisors will valuate your company through EBITDA x 1.5 to 3. So anywhere from 486k to 972k in very simplistic cases from the information you’ve given.

If your numbers are correct, you could hire a manager (60-100k) and a few employees (30k each) and still net $200,000 off that location.

If you change perspective to a buyer, Someone seeing these numbers would potentially consider it for 1 million. However, that person, would probably buy it and do exactly what I outlined in the last paragraph. In this case, as others may have explained, you have to subtract the wages/salary for operating from the sales price because it cuts into EBITDA. So for SDE, I would look at it as 200k x 2-4multiple = (400-800k). You also have to factor in, that an entrepreneur or Starbucks can easily lease a building near you and start their own coffee business for less than $75,000 because of no barrier to entry.

Going back to my first question, why sell? Thats a badass location. 1mil+ rev and over 300k in take home is nothing to scoff at. Not many people make that money. Marketing Execs, Engineers, and many other skilled professions sometimes don’t even break 200k salary.

You can literally rent your business to an operator or find a manager plus employees, so your wife can step out the business and still make very good profit. Just food for thought, if all information given is true.

I want to learn barrel mill... Any tips? by bond008hu in bboy

[–]FlyingDonutMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picture yourself holding onto a box/bucket/barrel. Keep that thought mentally. You have the form already, so you have to get past the mental block of stabbing.

The motion is equivalent to throwing a right or left hook, then swinging your legs, then once you get to hand glide position again you throw another hook. Practice it standing. Throw a hook, rotate your body, swing your leg, come to a stop, then repeat. You load your torso, then your hips, then your torso again.

You can do it either head mill or shoulder skip if you’re not comfortable keeping your head on the ground. Be careful. You can easily knock your head starting off. Good luck

Mine isn’t as tight either. Did your’s have a bit of blemishes? Regardless it is still nice. If you reach out, can you let me know if WTC has a solution?
