Tune in for expert insights, trends to watch, and actionable advice for buyers and sellers alike!

Deal of the Week:
A local entrepreneur in Virginia acquired four med spa locations for $1,2 million, despite not being from the industry. The deal closed with 75% SBA financing, a 10% seller note, and 10% down from the buyer. The seller will stay on for 90–180 days to support the transition. Thanks to creative structuring and a strong team effort by Andy Shah, Neil Gulati, and Rupesh Bharad, this deal was a win for both sides.
