Competitors, customers, suppliers, regulators, technology, the landscape is always shifting. Meanwhile, net worth outside the business is a couple million, some of it also in illiquid investments. Liquid is maybe 1 million.
On the one hand it's awesome to have the business, on the other hand things can feel precarious sometimes. |

How much do you draw from the business? |

Date: November 10th, 2025 10:48 PM Author: insane light chapel Positive cash flow of 1-2 million per year. Recently achieved. Haven't had a lot of years to accumulate those kinds of profits at this point. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5796055&forum_id=2.#49419331) |

Date: November 10th, 2025 10:55 PM Author: insane light chapel Multiples are low and you often have to seller finance a huge chunk of the purchase price. That means waiting years for the $ and possibly never getting it at all. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5796055&forum_id=2.#49419344) |
