Buying a business a big decision and without the full picture is a risky move
On the surface, the business might look good and feel like it's a good opportunity. The broker says it’s “a great deal that basically runs itself.”
But something feels off, and you’re not sure how to check if your gut is right.
The numbers don’t quite add up
There’s no clear salary for the owner
Add-backs seem optimistic (at best)
You’re unsure how to value the business
Sure, you don’t want to get stung or miss out, but with so many variables it's hard to spot the thorns.
You Only Know What They Show You
Here’s the thing: most buyers don’t get the full story.
They get a polished broker pack, a high-level financial summary, and just enough info to get emotionally invested.
And that’s when mistakes happen.
I’ve reviewed hundreds of business deals and I’ve seen:
Inflated valuations with no logic
Businesses that rely 100% on the owner to function
Personal expenses disguised as business costs
Seemingly plausible stories that are hiding huge risks to a buyer
You don't want to find these issues after you've bought the business. I’m here to help make sure that doesn't happen to you.

Don’t just take my word for it
From first-time buyers to experienced operators, I’ve helped them walk away from deals with clarity and confidence. Here’s what some of them had to say:
Owner, Bumper Leads and MI Academy
"Hiring Jaime was the best thing I did"
“I was initially told the business was worth $670K, but after working with Jaime, we discovered major discrepancies in the financials.
Jaime helped me navigate the offer process, and thanks to her guidance, I ended up acquiring the business for just $60,000 – and that was only for the previous owner’s salary for the handover period.
The level of insight and support throughout the process was invaluable—I couldn’t have done it without her.”

Private Sellers
"370K of sales in first 3 months"
"Working with Jaime, we have begun to solve issues we've been stuck with in our business for years.
We were having challenges with our sales team, and Jaime sourced two new high ticket salespeople who have closed $370K of sales in their first 3 months.
Jaime has also introduced us to a buyer for a $5M sale, which would allow us to exit a year ahead of schedule if the sale proceeds."
Owner, Propela
"Identified major issues in the valuation"
“I came to Jaime when I was looking to buy a business that had been valued at $1.5M.
They’d presented financials that made the business look profitable, but Jaime quickly identified major issues in the valuation and didn’t reflect the current financial health at all.
Thanks to Jaime, I was able to make an informed decision and avoid overpaying for a business that wasn’t worth nearly as much as the sellers claimed.”
Owner, Propela

Questions?
Not sure if you need a deal review? These Q&A's might help.
What if I’ve never bought a business before?
Perfect. I’ll help you avoid first-time buyer mistakes and make sure you’re asking the right questions from the start.
What if I’ve already started talking to the seller?
That’s totally fine. The sooner we review the numbers, the better your position will be, especially before you show serious intent.
What if the business looks “good”?
Even good businesses can have hidden risks. I’ll help you confirm what’s solid, and challenge anything that isn’t.
Are you a registered business valuer?
No, my Deal Evaluation service offers a practical, experienced perspective on business financials and valuations to help you make informed decisions. For a formal valuation, you may wish to consult a registered valuer.
How will this evaluation help me make a better purchase decision?
The Deal Evaluation highlights potential red flags, unrealistic valuations, and hidden issues, giving you a clear understanding of the business’s value and financial health. This insight is invaluable for negotiating a fair price and avoiding costly surprises down the line.
How long does the process take?
Typically, once documents are received, I’ll complete the analysis and schedule your call within 3 days. This ensures you have everything you need to move forward with confidence and clarity.
