New Podcast: The Roll-Up Strategy Behind a $20 Million Revenue Language Services Business

Hello SMB Deal Hunters!

I’m excited to share a new interview with Jordan Evans, an entrepreneur who is rolling up language services businesses.

Jordan has made 5 acquisitions since 2018 (with more to come) and his company is now on a $20M/year revenue run-rate.

Previously, Jordan worked for early-stage startups while trying to build side hustles in e-Commerce and SaaS without success.

Today's issue is sponsored by SMB Diligence, the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted legal counsel and Quality of Earnings providers.

INTERVIEW

In the interview with Jordan, we discuss:

• Why the language services industry is the biggest industry nobody has heard of (and is growing 7-10% a year)

• Jordan’s first acquisition—his parents' 30-year-old language services business

• How Jordan doubled the business organically in the first 12 months (even though they lost their largest customer)

• Financing multiple acquisitions without any outside capital

• Jordan's decision to force the team to go completely remote

• How hiring 50% of his team from abroad has added a lot of momentum

• And more!

PRESENTED BY SMB DILIGENCE

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Skip Due Diligence…

A friend of mine put a business under LOI and asked me for my advice.

I recommended he contract a 3rd party due diligence partner to rebuild the company's P&L from scratch.

Turns out their EBITDA was off by 2x 😳

Enter SMB Diligence.

SMB Diligence is the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted diligence providers, from M&A lawyers to Quality of Earnings providers.

Their network of experts has worked on hundreds of small business transactions (including many from the SMB Deal Hunter community).
