Shifting Acquisitions into high gear

[White8]

I'm nearing the close on my business purchase which is June 11 which pretty well takes care of my available cash for the time being. Since we are mid year, if I take a reasonable salary out of the business, accelerate the payments, and don't drain all of the profits out of the business, it will take 1-1.5 years to recover my down. Once I get familiar with the business and get it running the way I like businesses to run how can I raise the capital for a down payment on another investment before the 1-1.5 year time frame. (without partners) Ideally, I would like to make a mid sized purchase every 9 months to one year for the next 20 years.

I just realized I deleted my post when I was deleting my spammer police posts.

Here are my thoughts. If you are buying a business entity with established credit, then you could use the credit and cashflow to borrow the money.

Also if you had 'stable' income outside of the business then you would be more loanable.

I hate it when I delete my own posts or it times out :bgh:


I'll take a look at borrowing against the cashflow.

What's a safe debt to equity ratio to keep liabilities manageable in case things go awry?

What about finding a business you can buy and turn it into a franchise? Make other people pay to open the store but you get the cash flow (royalties fees every month)
