Buy Then Build
How Acquisition Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Startup Game
Book • 2018
In 'Buy Then Build,' Walker Deibel provides a comprehensive guide for acquisition entrepreneurs.
The book explains how to skip the startup phase and generate profitable revenue immediately by buying an existing company.
It covers topics such as finding great brokers, generating 'deal flow,' uncovering opportunities and risks, navigating the acquisition process, and transitioning into the role of a CEO. Deibel argues that buying a business is often more lucrative than starting one from scratch, especially with the current market trends and the retirement of baby boomers who own many small businesses.
