Why BUYING A Business Often Makes More Sense Than Building One From Scratch with Ace Chapman
Episode description
Ace Chapman is a micro private equity investor who has acquired 15 offline businesses (he has sold 13 of them) and 31 online businesses. He is also the author of The Ace Formula, a book on how to buy a profitable business, starting with no money, and live life on your terms like a boss.
Ace bought his first business, CoolWallStreet.com, in the late ’90s at the age of 19. He started as a member of the site which allowed users to invest virtual money in the stock market. When he sold the business in 2001, he was getting seven-figure offers.
He talks about his favorite business deal which was a tanning salon that he sold only six months later for more than double profit, and shares the three key things he looked for before purchasing it.
