In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business, Mitchell sits down with Paul Lajoie, a CPA turned business acquisition expert who’s bought and exited over 15 businesses.
This is not theory, it’s real-world experience from someone who’s been in every seat.
Paul breaks down why buying a business can be a smarter move than starting from scratch, how to structure deals creatively, and how some buyers are acquiring businesses with little to no money out of pocket. He also shares the biggest mistakes he’s made, including nearly running out of cash early on, and what business owners need to get right if they want to scale or exit successfully.
From understanding cash flow and working capital, to building relationships during deals and planning life after selling, this episode is packed with practical lessons you can apply immediately.
If you’re serious about building something valuable, this is one you don’t skip.
