These are 2 businesses you hear about a lot in ETA.
But I was unfamiliar with the business of landscaping & snow removal brokerage.
Well today's guest bought such a business.
Eddy Zakes acquired a landscaping &snow removal brokerage in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
We spend time on the business model & its benefits, and once I understood the value proposition I was converted.
Also compelling is Eddy's success in growing the business.
In 2.5 years, he's doubled revenue and taken it from a half dozen employees to over 20.
Eddy bought the business using a traditional search fund, the ETA model he was most familiar with after his stint as director of the International Search Fund Center at IESE.
IESE is the Barcelona-based business school that is sort of the academic center of gravity for search funds in Europe.
