25 Aug Acquiring Minds: Stacking Small Acquisitions to $5m in Revenue
Today’s guests set out to acquire cleaning companies in the greater Seattle area. Most were tiny—under $1m revenue—but Kyle Boyden & Jake Furfaro embraced micro-acquisitions, stacking to $2.5m before going bigger. Two more deals brought them to $5m. Only their seventh used an SBA loan; the first six relied on seller financing and low down payments. They’ve invested just $100k and now take home $650k, owning 90%. Risk was low, with no personal guarantees early on. The process built operating and integration skills they wouldn’t have gained from buying a single $5m business outright. See what you think of how Kyle Boyden and Jake Furfaro have built Rainier Cleaning Solutions.
