Looking to Buy a Small Business in Baton Rouge (Owner Retiring)

Posted by Tigerb869 on 3/24/26 at 9:21 pm

I’m 35 and working in the Baton Rouge area in industrial construction. I’ve learned a lot on the corporate side, but honestly I’m getting tired of the politics and would like to build something of my own.

I’ve always had an interest in owning a small business and buying something established seems like the smartest path vs. starting from scratch. I’m especially interested in service based businesses construction services, tree work, landscaping, plumbing, HVAC, tire shops, etc. but I’m open to anything with solid cash flow and a good reputation.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to find mom-and-pop businesses where the owner is nearing retirement and might be open to selling? I know about some of the typical listing sites, but I’ve heard the best deals are often off-market.

If you’ve been through this process or know of any opportunities in South Louisiana, I’d really appreciate the insight. Feel free to reply here or email me at tigerclaw53@aol.com.

TIA

Has the boat sailed away on this? I have been kicking myself for the last week not getting on board with this one.

YieldMax ETFs

Posted by Tigerb869 on 2/18/25 at 9:56 am

Does anyone have any experience with these? Instead of directly holding the stock, the ETF uses options strategies to generate income which pays out a monthly dividend. A guy I work with has done really well recently but it seems too good to be true. Thoughts?
