answer:If you’ve never seen it before, I would very much recommend some binge-watching of The Profit. No amount of “advice from friends” and even those of us who have experience in this (not me) would do you as much good as having guidelines and yardsticks that you can see applied in action. Highly recommended. You’ll see how Marcus reviews a company’s financials and on-site inspections to come up with business valuations – and then makes money in the process (and in his case, generally helps the business owner, too). If you take his lessons to heart you could do very well.
