Wie Private Equity wirklich Geld verdient

0:00I have had um some of the biggest banks that you've heard of things like that out to this headquarters um to see what we have going on and they've been like this is insane. >> What do they look for? >> So what they want is what every investor wants which is what you know I I tried to set out to do in the very beginning which was um they want proprietary deal flow. So they want people who want to specifically do deals with one person. So it's not like they're shopping.

0:24They're like I want to do a deal with you. And ideally you have some sort of captive market or niche. Um and so for acquisition.com we are kind of low midmarket in terms of what what companies or businesses are kind of attracted to my stuff. And so it's typically the business is doing like between one and $100 million a year. And so and this was kind of the thesis of acquisition in the beginning was like okay everything's sub a million. There's tons of people who you know help people get their first customer few hundred in revenue first five clients things like that. There's tons of kind of like the coaching consulting whatever you know or coaching course world is there. Then if you go like 100 million and up then you've got like Mackenzie Bane BCG uh Deote PWC EY like a lot of these Gartner like all these kinds of consulting firms that deal with like kind of above there but there's just not a lot in like the one to 100 million range. And what's interesting about that particular range is that that's where a huge amount of like alpha is created in terms of investing returns. And so like for example, if you have a business, this is probably going to lose half the half the audience, but if you have a if you have a business that's doing call like $3 million in IBIDA or profit, right, per year, and you can make a handful of tweaks and get it from 3 to 8 million, the $3 million IBIDA business might be worth $12 million, maybe the $8 million IBIDA business can probably get somewhere between like 80 and $100 million in a sale. And so it's like you have a a a huge multiplier effect that increases once you get above about $5 million in profit and especially as you approach 10 where you now become uh a target for institutional grade investors. So that because they can write they have to put to work hundreds of millions of dollars and so they basically become the customer of buying the product which is the business that you created. And so our thesis of acquisition.com was like, well, we want to get people right before they're at that that level, buy at really small prices, make the changes in the business, and then capture this huge upside. Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so, I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business. What the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate. And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brick-andmortar, all of this. And it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free. And so the link's in the description, but you just go acquisition.com/roadmap.
