Med Spa Acquisition: $10,000 Out of Pocket for a $500K Business
A Southern California buyer was looking for a med spa under a $1M price point to serve as the anchor of a long-term rollup strategy. LCG found an opportunity with $275,000 in SDE at a $500,000 purchase price and negotiated a $100,000 seller note — allowing the client to close with just $10,000 out of pocket.
The Strategy
Anchor Acquisition for a Multi-Location Rollup
The buyer, located in Southern California, was very particular about investing in the med spa industry. Their plan was to acquire an initial location as the foundation for a rollup play over the next 5 years. LCG typically doesn't advise going below a $1M price point, but this client had a clear thesis and was committed to the strategy.
The Deal
Minimizing Cash Outlay Through Seller Financing
LCG found an opportunity producing $275,000 in SDE at a purchase price of $500,000. We negotiated a $100,000 seller note, which — combined with SBA financing — allowed the buyer to close with just $10,000 out of pocket. This preserved the buyer's capital for future acquisitions in their rollup plan.
