How to Buy a $2m Dying Business Then Sell It for 5X
Mike Yarmo bought a struggling distributor & turned it into a local powerhouse in a different niche — then sold for 5x.
Key points from Mike's acquisition:
Owner was disengaged, retiring, and looking to sell his food distribution company
Company was 25 years old but had terrible margins
Mike & team acquired for low 7 figures, or ~2x earnings
Pivoted the company, grew aggressively over next few years
Sold 5 years later for 5x earnings, and 5x original acquisition price
