Buying a business: sourcing deals, financing, etc - recommendations?

[backz]

Any recommendations on good places to learn on buying businesses?

Thinking the $200k - 1m sale price businesses where most of their opportunities are no marketing in place.

I totally get finding marketing opportunities and growing them, but interested to learn more about:

- Sourcing deals outside of brokers
- How to leverage business assets for financing (in Canada) or negotiate good terms so cashflow covers debt
- Any good resources on operating playbook building that can be market agnostic

I know at a high-level elements are covered in Dan Pena's book, but he doesn't really dive into the specifics of sourcing or leveraging financing.

Any help is appreciated!

The space is well represented on Amazon in the book space.

Not sure if these books will help, or if they are too high-level and not enough minutiae.
