The Deal Flow System That Buys 7 Figure Businesses [link]
Deal Alert: Nevada-Based PC Repair & Custom Build Business
📍 Location: Nevada (3 sites: 2 retail + 1 swap meet booth)
💰 Asking Price: $1.5M
💸 Revenue: $623K
💵 Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $157K (~25% margin)
👨💻 Staffing: Owner + extern program (low-cost labor model)
🌟 Why This Business is Great:
✔ Trusted Local Brand
Hundreds of positive reviews and a reputation for friendly, expert staff. In consumer services, trust = repeat demand, and this business already has it. Walk-in, no-appointment-needed convenience is a big draw.
✔ Steady Demand from Gamers & Businesses
Custom gaming PCs, streaming rigs, and same-day repairs serve two reliable segments: young, sticky consumers and small businesses with urgent IT needs.
✔ Extern Program = Low Costs
Leveraging university externs helps keep wages down while maintaining throughput. It’s an unusual structure that boosts margins compared to traditional retail repair shops.
✔ Owner Works Part-Time
Current owner only puts in ~32 hours/week. That signals operational leverage and room to either step back further with a GM or scale up with more involvement.
🚧 Challenges to Watch
❌ Premium Valuation
At ~$1.5M asking on $157K SDE, this is a ~9.5x multiple. In this sector, 3–4x is typical. The pricing doesn’t match industry norms unless there’s hidden IP, unique contracts, or strong online growth to justify it.
❌ Limited Scale
Three physical sites cap revenue unless expanded online. Without an e-commerce strategy, growth will remain tied to foot traffic.
❌ Reliance on Owner & Externs
Externs are cost-efficient, but continuity could be fragile. If the university pipeline falters or quality dips, margins and service quality take a hit.
❌ Competitive Sector
PC repair is crowded and often commoditized. Competing on speed, trust, and niche builds is key, but sustaining that edge takes constant execution.
🚀 Growth Opportunities I See
🔹 E-commerce & Nationwide Shipping
Build-to-order gaming PCs can scale online. Branding + logistics could turn this into a national seller, not just a Nevada local.
🔹 Refurbished PCs & Trade-Ins
Margin expansion opportunity. Many gamers cycle hardware — capturing that value through refurb/resale adds recurring revenue.
🔹 Specialized Niche Builds
Flight simulators, mining rigs, VR setups — these attract high-ticket customers and differentiate from standard repair shops.
🔹 Local Gaming Ecosystem
Sponsoring tournaments, events, and e-sports clubs builds community ties and feeds demand. A natural marketing channel for a local-first business.
🔍 My Analysis:
This is a solid, steady business with a strong local reputation and loyal customer base, but the asking price is high for its size. At $157K in seller earnings, a 9.5x multiple is tough to justify in a sector where 3–4x is the norm. The fundamentals are there — positive reviews, walk-in convenience, low staffing costs, and consistent demand from gamers and businesses. The real upside comes if a buyer can expand online with e-commerce, trade-ins, and niche builds. At the right price, this could be a smart acquisition, but as it stands, it feels more suited to a passionate owner-operator than a financial buyer.

RingCentral Acquires CommunityWFM
RingCentral just acquired CommunityWFM, a cloud-based, AI-driven workforce management platform built for contact centers. The deal strengthens RingCentral’s RingCX platform, adding advanced scheduling and automation tools designed to make life easier for agents and streamline operations.
My analysis: This move is less about adding customers and more about tightening RingCentral’s AI contact center suite. Workforce management is often the hidden pain point in scaling call centers — staffing, scheduling, and agent performance directly impact customer experience. By baking AI into that layer, RingCentral positions itself not only as a communication provider but as an end-to-end operations partner. In today’s market, where growth is slowing and efficiency is king, this is a smart way for RingCentral to deepen its moat without chasing top-line growth at all costs.

Success Story
Check out what one of our members recently accomplished :
Nicholas is making steady progress. He recently met with a business owner, but the seller went with another buyer before he even had a chance to review the financials. He’s now digging into a new opportunity—an Assisted Living Facility—but ran into challenges calculating the EBITDA. To get clarity, he reached out to our support team for help breaking down the P&L and is also pushing for a face-to-face meeting with the owner to better understand her motivations for selling.
He mentioned that the stress he used to feel is fading, thanks to how clear and structured the teaching has been.
