A Word From Art Hamel . . .
If you’d like to know how to buy a business the “easy” way, as opposed to the way 99% of everyone else does it, then this e-mail will show you how.
You see, it all comes down to getting investors to finance your business.
When you do that, 99% of the “work” is already done for you.
The first 25 years I was in business, I never used investors.
I used banks.
I used owner financing.
I used supplier financing.
I rented financial statements.
I did everything under the sun to get the financing.
And I was doing it the hard way.
And I found that, when you’re working with investors, the whole process of buying a business changes.
It becomes easier and a LOT more profitable for you.
On the other hand, if you try to get owner financing, for example, the owner’s going to “qualify” you first.
He’s going to ask for extra collateral on everything and do everything he can to make sure you’re “for real”.
And that you’re not some flake who’s going to stiff him later on down the road.
He has to, if you think about it.
He has to protect himself.
And it’s the same with bankers and traditional lenders.
On the other hand, when you come in to buy a business with an investor or investors, you’re basically not asking for financing.
You’re paying all cash.
So, you don’t have to go a bank.
You don’t have to go through the seller.
It’s like buying a car.
The car dealer only needs to run your credit if you plan to finance the car. But if you show him cash, he won’t care what your credit rating is or what your financial statement looks like.
It’s the same when you use investor money.
And since most investors — not all of them, but 99 percent of the investors I’ve worked with — are business owners, they’re not banker mentalities.
For them, it boils down to one thing:
If they think what you’re doing makes sense, and if you and the investor get along and you like each other, you’re going to find you get the money.
Period.
It’s funny.
They don’t teach this at Harvard or any of the Ivy League business schools.
But the fact is, when you buy a business using investor financing, the most difficult thing is simply getting off your duff to go out and find a good business that makes sense.
Everything else is actually pretty easy.
Warmest regards,
Arthur Hamel

Go the first Interview I did with Michael, go to
http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/How_To_Buy_A_Business.htm
Arthur Hamel has bought over 200 businesses in the last 40 years. He started back in the 1960′s, with a small 25 unit motel in Modesto, California that took all of his time, energy and money and today buys only multi-million dollar businesses that require almost none of his time, energy and money. Art has since shown tens of thousands of other people — via seminars and his own unique home study course — how to do the same thing.
Believe it or not, you can buy a business – even in today’s economy. In fact, business-buying expert Art Hamel says he likes to buy businesses during recessions because owners are more motivated to sell, which could mean easier and more profitable deals for you. And in this Business Buying System, you’ll hear exactly how to make the recession work for you. According to Art, one of the biggest mistakes you can make when buying a business is complicating the process. If you follow his plan, you won’t need extensive knowledge, fancy concepts or even research about your market. So in Art Business Buying System you’ll hear an outline of the entire process, from selecting a successful business to choosing an exit strategy. Art’s broken it into digestible sections and here’s a rundown of what you get.

How To Use Your Marketing Skills Like A Bank To Buy Companies Without Using Cash..
Go to
http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/Own_A_Business.htm
Even though Chris was having no problems finding clients and making thousands of dollars per HMA step, it wasn’t nearly the kind of money he wanted from his consulting practice.
So he decided to get a little creative. Now when Chris finds a company that can significantly and quickly benefit from the HMA system, he’s no longer looking to get fees from them. He’s looking to acquire the company itself.
It all started when Chris noticed a trend in the business community.
He started seeing more and more “baby boomer” owners looking to hand off their businesses and retire without losing their shirts.
Chris also noticed these business owners were very realistic about their options in today’s economy and were more than open to less-than-traditional buyout offers.
That’s where the HMA system comes in. Chris uses only the revenue generated by his HMA steps to buy out companies. He simply makes a deal with the business owners that any money generated in excess of their current operating margins goes toward the acquisition of their company.
And in this audio, you’ll hear all the details of these unusual buy-outs, and how you can easily start making them too.
You’ll Also Hear…
*Exactly how Chris buys out a company from start to finish including where he finds the businesses and how he closes his deals.
*What criteria Chris looks for in potential companies and how he analyzes and tests them before he jumps in
*Why you’ll want to assemble a team for your buyouts and how to do it effectively and efficiently
*What risks you can expect and ways to mitigate them
*How to tell business owners that you’d like to acquire their companies using untraditional methods and how to negotiate those deals
*All about the “out” clauses involved in a sale – and how to make sure you’re never working for nothing
*Who pays to put the money into the company to get the HMA steps going and what happens if there are silent shareholders or the business has a lien
Chris’s method essentially joins the HMA system with the Art Hamel one, creating a powerful combination that allows you to have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars in company profits without needing to put any cash down to do it.
The potential here is limitless. And now is the perfect time to get started – with more and more businesses experiencing cash flow problems while their “baby boomer” owners are looking to get out.
So even if you’re not sure buying out businesses is for you, you may want to give this hour-long audio a listen.

Kickball Drunkies . . .
We’ve got a park across the street from our house.
So we’re used to hearing all kinds of crazy sounds coming from that-a-way.
Like for example “The Whewers.”
A group of older men who play horseshoes on Tuesdays at four.
And just like clockwork, one of the men yells out at the top of his lungs . . .
Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee
Every fricken time you hear the clink of the iron.
Clink
Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee
Clink
Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee
ANNOYING!
But wait.
It gets worse.
Now, we’ve got this new mob at our park.
I call them “the Kickball Drunkies.”
I looked over the fence to look at this unruly bunch.
And I could not believe my eyes.
About twenty grungy, maggoty looking teenagers playing Kickball.
And to put an adult twist on this child’s game, they only use one hand to field the ball.
Why?
Because the other hand is holding beer!
And when you are trying to sell your business for top dollar, it can be like trying to play Kickball drunk.
It’s fun, but you’re not going to be vary good at it.
Selling your business is not a game.
And you’ll need an expert who can help you on your way.
An in this all new, three part interview, you’ll learn how to sell your business the two handed way.
The title is called . . .
Insider Secrets From One Of America’s Best Business Brokers About
The Only Way To Buy Or Sell A Small Business In Today’s Economy… And Make Top Dollar
http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/Biz_Broker_Interview.htm
Most small business owners have no clue how to sell their businesses.
They either hang on for far too long and essentially miss the best time to sell or they shortchange themselves on the deal by using outdated methods for selling that fail to showcase the true value of their time and effort.
But in this three-part audio, you’ll hear how to make all the right moves, straight from one of America’s top business brokers.
He gives a step-by-step inside-look at how to take the same “Wall Street principles” large corporations use to attract the right buyer, and apply them to your small business.
You’ll also hear exactly how to research, find, and buy the best small businesses – even if those businesses aren’t currently on the market!
Part One: Selling A Main St. Business Using Wall St. Practices
Roughly 60% of businesses on the market today won’t sell, and that may have something to do with the traditional “fire, aim, ready” approach most people use to sell them.
They do everything backwards by listing their businesses before they analyze the marketplace and determine their place in it.
But in Part One, you’ll hear how they do it on Wall St. to make billion-dollar businesses look good on paper, and how to easily adapt that to your Main St. transactions.
You’ll also hear…
* A five-second exercise for finding the exact person most interested in buying your small business or what type of business you should be most interested in buying
* The three classifications of buyers in any market – industry, financial and sophisticated – and what each could mean for you
* All the “insider” secrets about the way most business transactions are actually financed – and how knowing those basics will give you an edge in the buying process
* The three areas of any business you should enhance in order to get top dollar – and a real-life example of how one young woman was offered $165,000 for her no-assets, right-out-of-college small business (but instead decided to enhance these three areas and ended up getting $1.25 million from a sophisticated buyer – in just 6 months!)
* A very simple tactic for using the current economy as a way to attract sophisticated buyers

http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/Biz_Broker_Interview.htm
Part Two: The Most Effective Way To Find And Buy A Business
Most business owners think they’ll be able to sell their businesses on their own when the time is right. But the biggest problem with that picture is that business owners tend to hang onto their businesses long after they’ve taken their foot off the gas pedal.
Fortunately, there are strategies for getting to them before that happens, and in Part Two, you’ll hear what they are.
You’ll also hear the only way that works to approach owners of businesses not currently on the market and get them to sell including…
* How to write a well-crafted non-threatening letter that will get business owners interested – while also letting them know you’re not just another BS-artist
* Exactly what you can expect to pay if you enlist a good business broker to run searches for you
* A play-by-play account of the important meetings you’ll need to set up with a potential seller – what you need to make sure they bring to the table and what you’re next steps should be
* The only three questions you’ll need to ask to determine if a business-buying deal should go any further
* How to identify the areas of opportunity in any business
Part Three: A Quick Overview Of The Business-Buying Process
Every successful business has two people behind it with two different sets of skills – an inside guy and an outside guy.
The trick is in recognizing which skill set you have, and in matching it with a business’s needs, or vice versa.
And in Part Three, you’ll hear how to do that.
You’ll also hear…
* How to increase the value of a company without increasing declared earnings
* Actual case studies that illustrate the best ways to use acquisitions to make a company instantly more valuable before selling
* The three things you need to know about any business to determine its profitability
* A quick look at how to use an IRS field guide to calculate a company’s worth
* An easy three-step plan for getting the most from selling a franchise
The typical real estate model will never work for buying or selling a business because most business owners want to keep their sale a secret – and the typical real estate model requires an average of 60 potential buyers touring a property before a sale can happen!
But fortunately, there is a much more efficient approach that works.
And in this audio you’ll hear how to make the kind of amazing (yet low-key) deals you’ve probably only heard about after the fact.
