@kelceylehrich Agree. No PG unless it’s 100% yours. Exceptions being an SBA where your contribution is the SBA Loan and PG and you still retain 80%+.

I've been seeing a lot of distressed eCom M&A opportunities this year. A concerning trend I am seeing emerge is founders who have outside investment ending up with a chunk of PG'd obligations and a balance sheet insolvency. If you don't control your destiny don't PG anything!

@SMB_Attorney I’ve just been doing what you all tell me. Not as “legal advice” but as legal advice.

What's the cheapest way to get a 409a? I have a hunch we've been overpaying.

We serve around 42,000 homes a year. Very rarely, we accidentally schedule three neighbors at the same exact moment! Captured on film!

Reposting my current favorite 6-plex floorplan: 1230sf, 3BR+Office/2BA And at 54' wide ... means it can fit on a 6000sf single family lot or a mixed-use area with ground floor retail

@Austen I like when university incentives are aligned with student outcomes. “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the results”

@jayvas That’s too bad! I don’t know him well but will say my couple interactions with him have been positive and it sounded out of character which is why I responded here. Either way hopefully you can take that up with him privately.

@FractionalSMB I can assure you, it's word for word. Multiple times. And the fact that he would prefer to block me instead of owning up to it tells me all I need to know about this dude's integrity and character.

Does anyone know who this Jason Andrew guy is? For years he's been copying my writing word-for-word and reposting it on LinkedIn as if it's his own. I called him out on his last post, and he blocked me. If anyone knows him, could you ask him to stop this nonsense?

@jamesonhaslam I like this but would add it’s essential to learn how to speak the language of business in the process. Learn how to read financial statements (not just the income statement). Learn units economics, have to manage gross margin by job, and how to manage G&A costs.

@ElliottEHolland Maybe. I’ve seen it before. Possibly under invested or not running personal or business expenses through. I’d need more detail to analyze! I’d love your answer if I’m missing something obvious. Love all the good takes and war stories you share.

Being on this list is completely insane! 👀 @smblawgroup will be 3-years-old in May... Here are the Vault Rankings (best law firms in America) and year founded of the firms ahead of us... 1. Kirkland & Ellis* - 6th - 1909 2. Gibson Dunn* - 10th - 1890 3. Vinson & Elkins* - 55th - 1917 4. Haynes & Boone - 87th - 1970 5. Latham & Watkins - 4th - 1934 6. O'Melveny - 25th - 1885 8. McGuireWoods - 71st - 1834 9. Sidley Austin - 11th - 1866 10. Weil - 14th - 1931 11. Baker Botts* - 51st - 1840 12. Akin Gump - 29th - 1945 13. SMB LAW GROUP FOUNDED 2022 The fact that we're even on this list is completely nuts. [*SMB Law Group attorneys are alum of these firms.]
Kevin Henderson@KHendersonCo

Our friends at @TexasLawbook just released the 2024 Corporate Deal Tracker league tables for Texas-led deals, and I think there are probably a lot of BigLaw firms asking themselves "Who The Hell is SMB Law?!" today! Super proud of the team that landed us on a list just below powerhouse firms like @McGuireWoodsLLP, @SidleyLaw, and @WeilGotshal. Looking forward to a bigger and better 2025 as we continue to support searchers, independent sponsors and private equity funds in corporate matters!🚀🎉

@SBA_Matthias How big LOC? For tech investments it usually goes two ways. Swing big and miss or hit it big. Most self fund or raise equity for this. Very little using debt to fund tech investments.

the first time I held a girl’s hand (Leslie, 8th grade spring, lunchtime, prearranged and negotiated via friends and passing notes), one of my frenemies told his mom he saw us and she called my mom that same evening yet another of my villain origin stories

I want to share this with my network. The 4th annual Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference at BYU is later this month (Feb 28). It's a unique university ETA conference because it's primarily professionals (not students). Some numbers from registrations this year: • 47% of attendees have acquired a business • 60% are actively searching • 15% students • 21% investors • 10% operators/employees If you're looking to buy, sell, or grow a business you should make an effort to be there. Plus you can come check out all that Utah has to offer. We'll have some rad people there: @EndresenHeather @KHendersonCo @LisaGForrest @ClintFiore (I hope) @LiveOakBank @smblawgroup @CoFoundersNik (I hope) Link to register in the comments.
