With $1.3M in revenue. 1000+ contractor network. And a recession-proof business model.\n💡 And before all that, Raj actually spent over a year working as a process server himself. (And he shares advice on why this was pivotal to his success later on)\n--------------------------------\n👉 Subscribe to the SMB Deal Hunter Newsletter — free weekly deals & insights: https://join.smbdealhunter.xyz\n🤝 Work with me and my team 1-on-1 to find, finance, and close your acquisition in 6–12 months: https://pro.smbdealhunter.xyz","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Ip8VYvVHcoJHaY9Kig3G0657tlc8W7tE_65VKMhQgKc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZGJh/YTEwNmZhZTcyYWJk/OWU0OGM3MDM2Mzcy/MmUxNy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
