Despite strong profit margins and remote operations, this business raises flags due to its project-based revenue, uncertain customer loyalty, and a hefty valuation. The crew explores whether this is a deal worth pursuing—or passing—and what kind of buyer might actually make it work.

Key Highlights:

• Breakdown of a $1.3M cash flow legal consulting business listed for $6.15M
• Discussion around project-based revenue and lack of recurring customers
• Royce and Rick share insight from years teaching ETA at Harvard Business School
• What kind of buyer would make this work (and how a strategic fit could help)
• Buyer fit, sales process, and the importance of niche expertise
• Why this business might be overpriced and what a reasonable multiple looks like
• The importance of understanding what a teaser really says (and doesn’t)
