Welcome to the Business Buyer Diaries. My name is Nathan Platter, I’m a full-time employee, and I bought a business! I did everything right from finding the deal, handling due diligence on 63 different opportunities, and ultimately buying a profitable gym, and boy was I in for a surprise as a new owner! I chronicle everything in real time, including the biggest wins to the stressful nights at 2am. I’m sharing my journey without sugarcoating anything, so you don’t repeat the same mistakes I do.
