The Main Street Deal

How to buy a small business without an MBA, private equity, or a search fund. Every Monday: a live BizBuySell deal breakdown — purchase price, SBA 7(a) financing math, red flags, and what the seller's P&L actually shows. Every Thursday: a buyer's story — HVAC, laundromat, auto shop, bowling alley — and what happened after close. Built for self-funded searchers, ETA buyers, and main street operators who want to own what they run.

    Mike Fagan Bought a Bowling Alley in Rio Rancho — and Runs It from Dallas

    Mike Fagan bought Ten Pins and More, a bowling alley in Rio Rancho, NM, for $2.05M including real estate via SBA 7(a). One year later he owns two locations, has a third in motion, and runs both from Dallas — 600 miles away. The lesson: the boring categories with intimidating equipment lists are where the real spread is.

    A 30-Year Auto Repair Shop in St. Louis County, MO

    Jordan walks through a real BizBuySell listing — a 30-plus-year independent auto repair shop in St. Louis County, MO. Asking $465K against $200K SDE puts the multiple at 2.33x, in comp range for established shops. Full SBA 7(a) math at 10% down, 9.3%, 10 years. Three due diligence priorities, one yellow flag, binary verdict.
