Site looks nice, best of luck! I'd be curious just to learn more about who's the typical buyer of brick and mortar local businesses -- not something I've ever

  Thanks mnovak, that’s a really good question and something we’re putting a lot of work on answering accurately. The buyer landscape is more diverse than most poeple think. It's really a mix of a few key groups: - There's the classic one, the person who's climbed the corporate ladder, has some capital, and wants to buy back control of their own time. - Then you have the employee who's ready to be the owner. Think of the head cook who wants to buy a restaurant after working at one for 10 years. - There's also a new wave, partly driven by social media, of people looking for a "low maintenance" business like a laundromat to create cash flow. They quickly find out that even a 'passive' business is a real job, but it's a growing trend. And on the more sophisticated end, you have roll-up funds and private equity groups who see the massive opportunity in that $10 trillion wealth transfer and are looking to professionalize this space. To us, it’s honestly a mind-bending cross-section of the economy. Thanks for asking!
