Why Brent Beshore Doesn't Use Debt To Acquire Companies | My First Million Podcast

About this video

The guest discusses their private equity approach, emphasizing why they use all-equity deals with no debt financing rather than leveraging companies like traditional PE firms do. They explain that debt increases fragility and unknown risks, particularly when first acquiring companies, and prefer to keep strong balance sheets with full working capital included in transactions.

Key takeaways

• The guest’s firm uses 100% cash deals with no bank debt or SBA financing, contrasting with typical private equity leverage strategies
• Adding debt to acquisitions amplifies risk and fragility, especially when operators don’t yet fully understand a company’s hidden challenges
• Maintaining robust balance sheets with full working capital before extracting owner value allows flexibility to compound cash into the business over time
