Free registration at the forum removes this block.Guys, it doesn't matter what the business is. It could be cotton candy distribution, what matters is the process if refining a sales script, getting the best people, having a unique angle for goung around the gatekeepers.
So far three people (including you) have responded to me, assuring me that they know.Something in the auto parts industry. Good enough?
Seems like some things never change...
Maybe he lied to us. Maybe the other two lied to you.So far three people (including you) have responded to me, assuring me that they know.
All three people said a completely different industry.
Shit, I just got busted for spilling the beansHere is an update to this thread. Over the last 120 days I have been in the process of selling this business as another business I have opened has peaked my interest. In a totally unrelated industry.
A bunch of my competitors came together as a group, and offered me a bit of change to sell the business so they can get their customers back. (which I have slowly been taking away) As we have inventory, loans, accounts receivables etc it took a bit of time, but we are right there on the numbers and have agreed to and in the process of making the deal work and splitting up the customer base among the group. It is a great deal for all involved. This is the 2nd time I have sold a company where the main reason is for me to go away.
The 100 million when I started is not going to happen, I thought I could will my way up to that point, but nope. Can't seem to get their without putting in huge amounts of cash.
And I do not know what the other people told you csvalvato, but jon.a was correct and the business is in the wholesale auto parts industry. Good Luck to you.

Thanks @JackEdwards & @jon.a . I hope you don't mind my skeptical eye - I find not questioning things gets me in trouble.Its ok, half the people in the board knew, just the two that responded to him might of heard something else when I said it.
But, remember the real point was that it just doesn't matter.Thanks @JackEdwards & @jon.a . I hope you don't mind my skeptical eye - I find not questioning things gets me in trouble.
@JackEdwards .. So I've followed this and 1st and foremost...CONGRATULATIONS ! Well done.
2nd, I personally don't care if it's auto parts or balloons. What interests me is what opportunity did you see ? Did you see weakness in the competition ? Or an undeserved market ? Did you attack at a different angle ? etc.
I'm not asking for details....just in general if you can say.
This is the 2nd time I have sold a company where the main reason is for me to go away.

Can't say the biz, maybe when I sell it.
Well, not exactly. He said he is in auto industry.This is written in one of the posts on the very first page. The gentleman has lived by his words - hats off to him!
For someone who doesn't care, you're doing a good job of faking it. This makes me nervous. The fallout of digging like this basically made @JasonR stop posting, @biophase seems to be way less active since those two scammers sniffed out and ripped off his two businesses (can anyone blame him?), Jack posts very infrequently, LikWid posts very infrequently, pretty soon we'll be left with a forum full of posts like this:I don't care either way. I don't understand the level of secrecy,
And nobody will have to bother snooping around forum content creators' successful businesses because no one who remains active here here will have a successful business anymore.Very inspirational and thought provoking thread. I wish I could go through 650 comments on the thread... Had the op made $10 mil in 24 months or not? The thread gone on for too long and still going. Just wondering...
