0048 - Inside a Real Business Acquisition: Mistakes, Due Diligence, and Deal Structure

Episode notes

Tim talks with Jeremy Hans about the messy reality behind buying, operating, and exiting a business. Jeremy shares how he went from Navy helicopter pilot to real estate investor to business owner, how a botched acquisition process still led to a successful deal, what he learned from scaling Velocity from a small team into a much larger operation, and why his current search for the next business has been far slower and more complex than he expected. Along the way, they dig into deal mistakes, search strategy, growth pain, cash constraints, skill-set fit, and the value of having the right people around you when you buy and build. Tim is an entrepreneur who believes everyone should explore the opportunities that business and real estate can provide on the path to financial freedom. He owns and operates a wine & liquor store, a software startup, a consulting company, and a growing portfolio of commercial and residential real estate. Tim's passion for independent business has led him to support dozens of other business owners. For over a decade, he has worked with businesses on strategy, processes, finances, and marketing.
