The most expensive thing a profitable business owner does is make big decisions alone. In this episode of Buy Build Exit, Roy Redd and Charles Oglesby sit down with Brad Rochefort, founder of Top Quarter, a peer advisory room for verified operators doing 2 to 25 million in revenue. No coaches. No theory. Just real operators sharing actual P&Ls and making expensive decisions together.Brad breaks down what actually separates a business that sells for 2x from one that sells for 7x when the revenue, industry, and team look the same on paper. We dig into where the money is really hiding in a 5 million dollar business, how to recover 150k to 300k in operational waste in your first year, why SDE and add-backs matter, and how to move from lifestyle grade to international grade.Brad also shares hard-won lessons from a family construction empire doing 30 million a year, what he learned as a USC-trained screenwriter, and why the unification of the family keeps businesses alive. Plus rapid-fire takes on seller financing, overrated business books, and the biggest lie in the peer advisory industry.If you are a founder doing 2 million plus and tired of making million dollar decisions alone, this episode is for you.Whether you are buying your first business, scaling your second, or positioning for a premium exit, Deal Flow OS gives you the tools to find motivated sellers, run the numbers, and close smarter deals.
