I’m very excited to share this week’s interview with Raj Kankaria. It is an absolute roller coaster involving layoffs, divorce, rappers, a quarter life crisis, and Raj buying a $1.3M / year business with 100% seller financing. Here’s a sneak peak:Raj was a former army vet who had gotten a job at Citi Bank as an investment banker. He had just been laid off. He was in the middle of a messy divorce. And one day, he opened the door to a process server who handed him his divorce papers.Out of curiosity, Raj asked the man how much he made for every delivery. The answer: Over $100 per deliverySo, Raj started digging in…and 18 months later, with a lot of twists and turns along the way, Raj ended up OWNING a company that did exactly that. But it gets crazier:💡Raj ended up negotiating a 100% seller financed deal (after his SBA loan fell through)💡He ended up building the biggest litigation support company in Harris County. With $1.3M in revenue. 1000+ contractor network. And a recession-proof business model. 💡 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)--------------------------------👉 Subscribe to the SMB Deal Hunter Newsletter — free weekly deals & insights: https://join.smbdealhunter.xyz🤝 Work with me and my team 1-on-1 to find, finance, and close your acquisition in 6–12 months: https://pro.smbdealhunter.xyz
