C’est un chapitre qui se referme douloureusement pour l’industrie du jeu vidéo : Bluepoint Games, autrefois célèbre pour ses remakes d’exception, a définitivement baissé le rideau. Intégré à PlayStation Studios il y a cinq ans, le développeur texan n’aura publié aucun titre sous la houlette de Sony avant sa disparition. Cet événement soulève des interrogations profondes sur la cohérence des…

Why I View Culture as the Ultimate Competitive Advantage

When I buy a business, I know that financials, systems, and strategies matter. But over the years, I’ve come to see culture as the ultimate competitive advantage. Culture is what determines whether employees stay engaged, customers stay loyal, and systems actually get adopted.

Why Culture is the Ultimate Advantage

Culture matters because it:

Shapes employee morale and retention

The Role of Exit Planning Even at the Time of Acquisition

When I buy a business, I don’t just think about running it I also think about how I might exit one day. Over the years, I’ve realized that exit planning starts at acquisition. The way I structure, manage, and grow a business depends on what kind of exit I want down the line.

Why Exit Planning Matters

It matters because it:

Shapes how I structure deals and financing

How I Evaluate Real Estate Leases Versus Ownership in Acquisitions

When I buy a business, one of the most consequential decisions I study is whether the company leases or owns the real estate it operates from. Over time, I’ve learned that real estate strategy directly affects valuation, cash flow, and long-term flexibility. For some businesses, owning the property provides stability and appreciation. For others, leasing creates agility and capital efficiency.…

How I Approach Marketing Spend in Small Business Acquisitions

When I buy a business, one of the first levers I examine is marketing spend. Over time, I’ve learned that how a company spends on marketing is often more important than how much it spends. Some businesses waste money on ineffective campaigns, while others underspend and rely too heavily on word of mouth. The sweet spot is consistent, efficient spending that generates predictable customer…

Why I Build Advisory Boards for Growing Companies

When I buy a business and want to scale it, one of the most valuable tools I use is an advisory board. Over the years, I’ve learned that even the best operators benefit from outside perspective. Advisory boards bring expertise, accountability, and credibility that small businesses rarely have on their own.

Why Advisory Boards Matter

Advisory boards matter because they:

The Importance of Reducing Owner Dependence Before Scaling

When I buy a small business, one of the most common issues I see is owner dependence. The seller has often built the company around themselves, and every key decision, relationship, or process runs through them. That might work when they’re in charge, but once they leave, the business becomes fragile.

Over time, I’ve learned that reducing owner dependence is one of the most important steps…

The Importance of Documenting Processes in Acquisitions

When I buy a business, one of the first things I look for is whether processes are documented. Over time, I’ve learned that documentation separates fragile businesses from scalable ones. If everything lives in the owner’s head or in a few employees’ memories, value disappears the moment they walk out the door.

Early in my career, I underestimated this. I thought as long as the numbers looked…

Why I Study Cultural Fit Before Buying a Business

When I buy a business, I know culture is just as important as financials. Numbers tell me where the business has been, but culture tells me where it can go. Over time, I’ve learned that ignoring cultural fit is one of the fastest ways to sabotage an acquisition.

Many first-time buyers think they can impose their own culture after closing. The reality is that culture runs deeper than any memo or…

The Role of Customer Feedback in Post-Acquisition Strategy

When I buy a business, I always look for ways to improve it after closing. One of the most powerful tools I use is customer feedback. Over the years, I’ve learned that listening to customers provides insight into what really matters what keeps them loyal, what frustrates them, and what opportunities exist for growth.

Too often, small business owners underestimate the value of customer feedback.…
