Nick presents an episode that looks at whether it is possible to flip businesses in the same way you would real estate. A topic that is especially interesting now. By 2030, most of the baby boomers will have reached retirement age, which could mean that a lot more businesses than normal will be up for sale, over the next few years.
He compares the two investment models by explaining the pros, cons, and risks of flipping businesses and real estate.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Business flipping usually involves buying a company for a low price, enhancing it to quickly make it more valuable, then, selling it for a large profit. This is a model that is used for private equity investment.
- There is more risk with business flipping than there is with real estate. It is quite hard to sell a company. Only about 20% of businesses doing under 10 million in revenue will sell. But when you do succeed you can triple your return or more.
- As well as turnover, the people that run it, the processes, the structures, the quality of the customer base, the brand, and the culture, have an extremely high impact on the value of a business. If the founder leaving means key staff members or customers will leave too, the value of the business would fall.
