Lenders are starting to back away from financing FedEx routes. Margins are getting worse, some routes are failing, and banks don’t want the risk. There’s a reason so many routes are for sale right now.

An SBA buyer pre-qualification letter means nothing. A bank isn’t just backing the buyer—they’re backing the deal. Strong cash flow, a proven track record, and meeting lending criteria are what actually matter.

Lately, I’ve been seeing some brokers tell buyers to skip the LOI and go straight to a purchase agreement. That’s reckless. Never commit to buying a business before locking in key terms and due diligence.

I just released an interview with @DomWellsOnfolio who has acquired around 40 online businesses in the past decade. What's crazy is just 10 years ago Dom was teaching English in Taiwan making $1-$2K/month and starting/buying online businesses as a side hustle. In this episode

Ever think about starting a HoldCo?. I just released a new podcast episode with @chasemurdock where we dive deep into starting a lifestyle and community-focused holding company . Chase has made 3 acquisitions and started 2 companies in Salt Lake City–all without taking any.
