    How to Build a Portfolio of Online Businesses with Smart Financing & Systems with Glenn Giro
    Dec 24 2025
    How far can $100,000 really take you in business acquisitions? One deal?A small portfolio?Or a scalable acquisition machine? In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with SBA Business Development Officer Glenn Giro to break down the real math behind buying businesses with SBA financing, and why there’s technically no cap on how many businesses you can acquire, as long as you understand the rules that actually stop most buyers. They unpack how entrepreneurs are using up to 90% SBA financing, long 10-year terms, and no prepayment penalties to build portfolios most people assume are out of reach. You’ll discover: How $100,000 in cash can unlock a $1M+ acquisitionThe $5M SBA cap per NAICS code and how it impacts serial buyersWhy banks love SBA loans (and why that matters to you)The real fees lenders don’t explain upfrontHow cash flow and debt service coverage are actually calculatedWhat changes when you go from your first deal to your second, third, or fifthWhen 100% financing is possible and when it’s notWhy do some high-multiple digital businesses get rejectedThe timeline lenders expect before approving your next acquisition If you’re serious about buying your first digital business or turning one deal into a portfolio of cash-flowing assets, this episode will completely reframe how you think about capital, leverage, and scale. Watch the full video to see the numbers, strategies, and acquisition pathways most buyers never learn about. Episode Highlights 02:55 – Why a “simple” 10% down payment can still kill your SBA deal if you don’t understand total project costs. 05:08 – The harsh truth: why $100K is often not enough to safely buy a $1M business. 10:52 – How SBA’s 75% loan guarantee unlocks 90% financing—and why banks are eager to lend. 12:57 – The hidden cost most buyers miss: $20K–$30K in SBA fees on a $1M acquisition. 15:16 – The real reason most buyers can’t buy a second business right after their first. 23:59 – The quiet rule that caps portfolios at $5M per NAICS code—and how it blocks long-term scaling. Key Takeaways ➥ SBA financing allows buyers to acquire businesses with as little as 10% down, but cash reserves and liquidity matter more than purchase price alone. ➥ The SBA’s 75% government guarantee reduces bank risk and unlocks long-term, high-leverage financing for profitable online businesses. ➥ Seller financing can help bridge equity gaps, but new rules requiring 10-year standby make it rare in competitive acquisitions. ➥ Most buyers need 6–12 months of successful operations before qualifying for a second SBA-backed acquisition—proof of execution accelerates approvals. ➥ Each business must support its own debt service; strong cash flow in one acquisition won’t compensate for a weak second deal. ➥ NAICS code limits quietly shape acquisition strategy—buyers who plan ahead can scale portfolios faster and avoid unexpected financing caps. About Glenn Giro Glenn Giro is a seasoned SBA business development officer and acquisition financing expert who helps entrepreneurs buy and grow businesses using strategic SBA-backed loans. He hosts “SBA University,” a training series for business owners and aspiring acquirers, and regularly speaks about acquisition financing and business ownership strategies.

  • Why Most Acquisition Dreams Die - And How to Build One That Survives with David Barnett

    Why Most Acquisition Dreams Die - And How to Build One That Survives with David Barnett
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause chats with David C. Barnett—author, educator, and all-around small-business acquisition pro. David’s spent 11 years making straightforward videos about buying, selling, and running small businesses, and he’s seen it all. They dive into what most first-time buyers totally miss—like how a “simple” service business pulling in $300–400k a year can still hit you with $10k in unexpected repairs, or how a business that seems hands-off can take up way more mental energy than you expect. You’ll hear things like: 💡 Why lifestyle buyers often crash and how to avoid turning your dream into a money trap⚠️ Even with a manager, some problems are just going to end up on your desk🔧 How one dry-cleaning shop kept a family afloat but still drained the owner mentally😬 What constant staff turnover really means—and the mindset that separates the quitters from the winners🧠 Why corporate experience doesn’t prepare you for small-business chaos📈 Why flipping businesses usually fails, but holding one for 5–6 years can pay off big🤝 Why you need real business friends, not just LinkedIn highlight reels David shares stories from owners who were totally blindsided by the day-to-day reality—turning neglected businesses into assets, and surviving the crazy, unexpected stuff along the way. 🎧 If you want the raw truth about buying a business—no fluff, just lessons you actually need—this episode’s for you. Episode Highlights 07:07 – How overpaying and operational surprises can sink a business deal. 11:22 – The danger of buying based on emotion, not strategy. 15:30 – How “time on your side” strengthens your acquisition position. 20:15 – Fixing the “leaky bucket” of household finances before buying. 35:56 – Understanding your emotional drivers: lifestyle vs. self-actualization. 43:34 – Buying dreams vs. buying businesses: the B&B cautionary tale. 47:01 – Why running a business is harder than it looks: expectations vs. reality. 51:15 – The real value of small businesses is in long-term ownership, not flipping. 55:04 – Lessons from real owners: hiring struggles and the mindset of persistence. Key Takeaways ➥ Know your motivation. Buying a business without understanding your emotional drivers — lifestyle, status, or security — can lead to overpaying or making misaligned choices. ➥ Cashflow and leverage are critical. Overpaying or using high leverage without accounting for operational costs and capital expenditure can sink even profitable businesses. ➥ Time is your ally. Build financial strength and patience first. A strong savings habit and a clear understanding of deals over time make you a stronger, less impulsive buyer. ➥ Due diligence saves you. Verify revenue, costs, and seller claims. Skipping checks or relying on emotion leads to costly mistakes. ➥ Lifestyle vs. business reality. Owning a business provides freedom and income, but it always carries operational burdens. Expect hands-on involvement, even with managers in place. ➥ Start with experience. Before buying a business in a new industry, work in it part-time. Real exposure prevents costly surprises. ➥ Value is in ownership, not flipping. Profit comes from running a business over years, not quick resale. Systems, marketing, and management improve long-term returns. ➥ Network with real business owners. Observing how experienced owners handle hiring, challenges, and growth teaches lessons no podcast or post can convey. About David Barnett David C. Barnett is a seasoned business broker, advisor, and educator who has helped aspiring entrepreneurs buy and sell small-to mid-sized businesses since 2009. He is the founder of the Business Buyer Advantage program—a comprehensive training system that guides buyers through finding, analysing, offering on, financing, and integrating a business. David’s background includes business valuation, deal structuring, and a passion for helping people escape the 9-to-5 by owning cash-flowing businesses.

  • He Acquired 15+ Digital Business Acquisitions + Mistakes To Avoid with Yury Byalik

    He Acquired 15+ Digital Business Acquisitions + Mistakes To Avoid with Yury Byalik
    Dec 10 2025
    He’s bought over 15 digital businesses—and learned some lessons the hard way. In this episode of the BOB Podcast, Jaryd Krause sits down with Yury Byalik, a seasoned growth marketer, acquisitions strategist, and digital-business investor who has spent over 15 years building, buying, and scaling profitable online companies. Currently serving as Head of Strategy & Acquisitions at Onfolio Holdings, Yury has mastered the art of spotting opportunities, structuring deals, and growing digital businesses into high-performing assets. But here’s the thing: acquisitions aren’t as simple as signing papers. Mistakes happen—and they can cost you time, money, and growth. Yury shares exactly what to avoid and what strategies actually work. In this episode, you’ll learn:💡 How Yury evaluates a digital business before buying🔧 The most common mistakes first-time acquirers make—and how to sidestep them📈 The growth strategies that turn a purchased business into a profitable, scalable asset🧠 The mindset needed to build a successful acquisition portfolio🤝 Practical tips on integration, operations, and making your acquisitions work together Whether you’re considering your first digital business purchase or looking to scale an existing portfolio, this episode is packed with actionable insights and real-world lessons from someone who’s actually done it—15 times over. 🎧 Plug in and get ready to avoid costly mistakes while accelerating your acquisition journey. Episode Highlights 07:07 – Why a strong team and legal safeguards can make or break a deal. 09:06 – A shocking story of hidden fraud and non-disclosure. 15:05 – Roll-Up vs. Independent Growth: Yuri shares his selective approach to merging acquisitions 19:00 – Why high‑volume acquisition strategies (e.g., Amazon roll‑ups) often fail. 20:54 – Why waiting 1–3 months can save millions before scaling. 29:41 – How AI commoditization is reshaping valuations across industries. Key Takeaways ➥ Due diligence is non‑negotiable. Many sellers omit or misrepresent critical information (clients leaving, illegal kickbacks, contract terms). Without a strong legal and analysis team, even “profitable” businesses can become liabilities post-acquisition. ➥ Diversification of traffic and revenue matters. Businesses dependent on a single channel (SEO, ads, Amazon, Google Adsense) are exposed to high risk — a single algorithm or platform change can destroy value. ➥ AI has fundamentally changed valuations. With AI tools reducing the uniqueness of content, and enabling rapid replication of SaaS ideas, multiples on content- or software-based businesses have dropped significantly. That means both risk and opportunity for buyers. ➥ Patience and strategic focus beat volume-based roll-ups. Instead of snapping up every deal, it’s smarter to take time, understand what works inside the business, and selectively scale what’s already strong — especially if you plan to operate (not flip) long-term. ➥ Passion and niche alignment improve acquisition success. Businesses tied to hobbies, communities, or long-term interests tend to perform better when buyers are genuinely invested, because passion translates to better stewardship and resilience through ups and downs. ➥ In attractive niches, speed is everything. When a good business hits the market (clean model, diversified traffic, good margins), multiple buyers are often ready — meaning you need clear, fast decision-making if you want to win the deal. About Yury Byalik Yury Byalik is a seasoned growth marketer, acquisitions strategist, and digital-business investor with over 15 years of experience building, buying, and scaling profitable online businesses.
