👉 Should you actually buy a business right now — or are you about to overpay?
That's the question I get asked more than almost any other. And honestly, most people are chasing the wrong business at the wrong price.
The Idea Series | Episode 001 breaks it down 👇
🚨 The trap
Everyone's running at the same "hot" business — right now in WA, that's liquor shops. Sellers know it. Prices are stretched. Multiples are inflated. When everyone chases the same door, the seller wins, not the buyer.
📏 The 2 to 3 year rule
If a business can't pay you back within 2 to 3 years, you're paying a premium. Full stop. Overpay and your ROI blows out to 4 or 5 years — that's extra years of your money, time, and risk locked up for nothing.
💰 The quiet winners
The boring businesses most buyers overlook — but the ones that actually build wealth:
🐟 Fish & chip shops
🍕 Non-franchise pizza in low-competition suburbs
🛞 Tyre shops
🔧 Mechanical & auto product shops
Boring on the outside. Steady cashflow on the inside. Priced sensibly because everyone else is too busy chasing the next hot trend.
