In episode #1766, we share a few different approaches to purchasing businesses that don’t require you to put any of your own capital on the table. We spoke previously about the value of investing in hard assets during inflationary periods, and a business is another form of hard asset. So if you can get a hard asset right now by spending no money, that is a double whammy. Tune in and hear which types of businesses to look for and how to buy them using seller financing, capital raising, and call options!
