Take the Business Buyer Readiness Assessment → Summary This guy’s bought SIX companies in just THREE years. And he’s not flipping them. He’s holding for 50 YEARS. In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Sullivan from North Park Group - and if you’re in the M&A game (or want to be), you need to hear this. Ryan’s not chasing shiny objects. He’s quietly building a portfolio of small, family-run manufacturing businesses - with one goal: long-term, boring, predictable cash flow. We’re talkin’: How to build real trust with sellers (not just “run the numbers” and throw out LOIs) Why SBA loans are a powerful tool if you know how to use them The surprising red flags he watches for in deals (like customer concentration and operational chaos) Why they only target businesses with 30+ employees (and you probably should too) The emotional side of buying businesses - and how to handle it when stuff hits the fan You’ll also hear why patience beats pressure, how to manage investors the smart way, and why some owners just want a better life… not a better EBITDA. If you want to buy a business - and actually sleep at night after you do - this conversation is for you.
