How She Bought a $3.1M Business WITHOUT Quitting Her Job

A few months ago, Tatiana was a big law attorney in NYC billing 60 hours a week. She'd never bought a business. Never evaluated a deal. Never even heard of an SDE. Today she owns a $3.1M print and mail business making $867K a year, and she did it without leaving her job. ❌ No prior business buying experience ❌ No M&A background ❌ No relocation (she runs it from her desk in Manhattan) Tatiana found this deal on her very first day in the SMB Deal Hunter Pro program. She was the lowest of 12 offers and lost it. Six weeks later, the winning buyer's deal imploded, and she got a second shot. Seven months after joining, she closed. In this episode, Tatiana breaks down exactly how she went from scrolling Facebook ads to owning a $3.1M business that pays her $72K a month while she still bills 60 hours a week in big law. 🔥 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: ✅ How she lost the deal as the worst of 12 offers, then won it back when the top buyer overbid and tried to renegotiate down by a third ✅ The creative seller's note structure she used with the retiring owner that cut her required down payment in half, and the SBA rule that made it possible ✅ How she navigated a landlord dispute that almost killed the entire deal at the finish line, and the moment she pushed back on her own bank ✅ What her actual day-to-day looks like managing a business 300 miles away on a second laptop, and why she says owning the business made her enjoy her legal career more ✅ Why revenue is up 50% year over year in her first 3 months of ownership, and the growth plan she's putting in place to 3X the business _______________________________ Sign Up For Free to the SMB Deal Hunter Newsletter: https://join.smbdealhunter.xyz Work With Me to Help You Buy a Business: https://pro.smbdealhunter.xyz/
