lue collar, trades businesses get so much attention in our world of buying businesses.

HVAC, plumbing, landscaping — you've heard many such stories on Acquiring Minds.

But today's interview is with an entrepreneur who bought a white collar business.

In 6 years, he's taken a small 4-person, $700k/yr business to $12m in annual revenue, growing it both organically and inorganically with 3 bolt-ons.

Jordan Evans bought a language services business from his parents — another interesting angle of the story we spend time on.

You may be intrigued, as I was, by the language industry. It's bigger than you think, and "everywhere but nowhere," as Jordan describes it.

So this is a great interview for anyone who hears the blue-collar business buying stories but just can't imagine themselves in such a business.

This is the story of a white-collar roll-up.

It's also the story of someone who bought a very small business, had to pound the pavement in the early days to generate sales (delivering donuts himself to prospects), but figured that out and acquisition out, and is today having a blast building his way toward $40m in revenue.
