What it's like buying a $128k side project
It's great to read the details about what it takes to buy a small business. Thanks for posting this and being so open about what went into the negotiation. I always thought (if I were to one day run into money) buying an already-running business would be a better, less risky path towards entrepreneurship than starting with a blank text editor!A few questions:Is it common to have to fork over all cash for these sized deals? Is it possible/acceptable to finance? What alternatives to seller financing have you seen? I don't imagine it's possible to just waltz into your local bank and say hi guys I need $100K to buy a website!I'd be interested in learning more about finding these deals. You found this one through FE. Are there other common places to find tech listings? Do you ever approach companies that you like but aren't actively looking to sell? I'd love to see a play by play of how one of those conversations go.
