About this episode

About fall conferences: 

Kyle Boyden & Jake Furfaro bought tiny cleaning companies, five times. While painful, it taught them ops & integration.

  • Leaving a “cushy sales job” to buy a business
  • Doing no due diligence on the first acquisition
  • Cons of property management
  • Trading property management for janitorial
  • Buying very small cleaning businesses
  • Losing faith in SBA loan underwriters
  • Educating sellers about valuation
  • Seller financing on all 7 deals
  • Support from previous owners
  • No more acquisitions for now
