In this episode of The Kevin Choe Show, I interview Phil Tai, who shares his journey of acquiring a landscaping business. We dive into the process of finding and structuring the deal, the unique challenges of closing a business acquisition, and the critical role of knowledge transfer from the seller to the new owner. Phil also shares his cold-calling strategies and the motivations behind why some sellers, especially baby boomers, are eager to exit their businesses. I also share insights from my own journey in business and real estate, focusing on inspiring the younger generation to explore entrepreneurship. We discuss strategies for scaling businesses, from effective marketing and hiring practices to managing the challenges of rapid growth.
