What would you pay for a failing street sweeping business that was:
Making $200k / Year in revenue (down from $1.1M)
Barely breaking even on profit
With trucks breaking down constantly
Underpaid drivers (constant turnover)
Brandon Dixon paid $0 down.
100% seller financed with a 60-month term.
He jumped head first into the turnaround with no experience and turned it into a $96K/month business in 14 months.
We dove into a few big questions throughout the interview...
❓️How did a professional baseball player buy a failing street sweeping company for $0 down and 5x revenue in 14 months?
❓️Why did Brandon say he'll "never buy this small again" - and what would he do differently?
❓️How is Brandon running a 35-40% margin business from 7 hours away with an offshore hire managing day-to-day operations?
❓️What happened when 3 trucks broke down on his first day as a full-time operator - and what did it teach him about equipment businesses?
