Thinking about buying a small business instead of starting one from scratch? In this episode of Dads, Deals & Dumbbells, Joe and Dr. Quill break down how to evaluate a business under $100,000 before you write the check.
We’re talking about the kinds of deals regular people actually see: lawn care routes, cleaning businesses, mobile detailing setups, vending routes, small e-commerce stores, local service businesses, fitness client lists, equipment-based side hustles, and more. Some are legit opportunities. Some are overpriced jobs with a logo. And some are full-blown dumpster fires.
In this episode, we cover:
What you’re really buying in a sub-$100K business deal
How to verify revenue before trusting the seller’s story
Why SDE matters more than fancy financial terms
How to calculate valuation and payback period
When a customer list is actually worth something
How to spot owner dependency
What equipment and assets should be included
Deal structure basics for small acquisitions
Real-world “Deal or Dumpster Fire” scenarios
The big question: are you buying cash flow, customers, equipment, a brand, or just a stressful second job?
Joe brings the legal and business perspective. Dr. Quill brings the health, dad-life, and real-world operator mindset. Together, they walk through the red flags, green flags, and sanity checks every future business buyer should know.
Small deals can be a great first step into ownership — or a very expensive way to buy yourself nights, weekends, and a used trailer full of regret.
