Hi everyone! I've spent the past few months learning a great deal about searching and ETA. I learned a lot about LBO and deal structure, etc. But the one thing I still don't quite know is:
What type of business should I target for an acquisition?
I've heard that I should look for businesses that would benefit from my experience. I have a background in sales, recruitment, copywriting, and teaching (education/training). I also was a regional manager of a consumer services firm.
That's why I looked into the education sector. However, the tutoring and childcare businesses aren't really my cup of tea: low CLV and high churn rate aren't attractive to me. I'm attracted to B2B and B2G services, but my head is still spinning at how many choices are out there.
Any advise on how to settle on some parameters for my search? Thanks in advance!
