O problema do Brasil é que na sua população o número de filhos da puta ultrapassa a quota que um país pode suportar sem se foder.

Nossa vida seria bem mais simples se todos soubessem que o governo não tem um putto. Ele simplesmente arrecada o nosso dinheiro e transfere. Quando vc lê: “o governo vai perdoar dívida”, quem tá perdoando é vc!!! @FelipeTadewald
Acho que todas são assim. Aqui na Florida já vi até locadoras que só têm o "similar". Eles divulgam os carros que são mais procurados, mesmo não tendo nenhum na frota, e quando alguém aluga entregam algum modelo "similar".
Esse é um dos diferenciais da Allycar, o carro que vc reserva é sempre exatamente o carro que vc recebe: allycar.com

This is a HORROR story 👀
Before read my post, go read the quote post… then come back.
Here’s my response:
I’m pretty confident this deal looks VERY different in 2026 with properly scoped diligence and experienced M&A representation.
Maybe the price changes. Maybe the buyer needs substantially more working capital.
Honestly the deal never closes…
But the issues described here should have prompted some serious questions before anyone signed a personal guarantee.
And first, credit to this owner for being so candid. Three years without a paycheck, draining your savings and carrying that stress home every night is brutal. People considering buying a business need to read accounts like this.
A few things jump out:
The seller’s other business was keeping this one afloat.
That’s a fundamental question about whether the business can support itself after closing.
A properly scoped QoE should investigate related-party transfers, expenses paid by other entities and recurring cash shortfalls. The buyer needs to understand how much money the business actually generates on its own, when that money arrives and how much additional capital it requires.
You can get the EBITDA number right and still get the cash needs very wrong.
This is also why buyers need to understand what their QoE engagement actually covers. Paying for a report doesn’t necessarily mean someone has answered all those questions.
The purchase agreement should address these risks.
> Financial statement reps.
> Undisclosed liabilities.
> Related-party arrangements.
> Material customer relationships.
These provisions require the seller to stand behind specific facts about the business. The disclosure process should also help surface information that changes your decision to buy, the price you’ll pay or the protections you require.
Then there’s the practical question of recovery.
What happens if a representation is false? How long do you have to bring a claim? What are the limits? Is there money held back? Does the seller have assets you can actually reach?
A right to sue someone is worth a lot less when you’re struggling to make payroll.
Reputation needs real diligence, especially in construction.
If the company’s reputation is so damaged that you feel compelled to change its name almost immediately, that should materially affect how you value the business.
AI-assisted research can help surface complaints, litigation, reviews and other warning signs. Then you need to verify what you find and talk to customers, suppliers and people who know the local market.
A lot of what you’re buying is the expectation that people will keep doing business with you. You need a reasonable basis for that expectation.
You have to finance the period between doing the work and getting paid.
The municipal pivot happened later, so we can’t assume its cash requirements were foreseeable at acquisition.
But it illustrates a huge issue: growing sales can make a cash shortage worse. Payroll and materials may be due months before you collect.
The financing plan has to account for that.
I haven’t seen the documents or diligence, so I can’t grade the advisers or say exactly what would have been discoverable.
But these are precisely the issues a serious acquisition process should investigate.
This little cottage industry has come a LONG way in three years.
We have better tools, and buyers should expect a rigorous process.
Nothing eliminates the risk. But before you put your savings and personal guarantee behind a business, you need to understand what it will take to own it.
Because whatever the purchase agreement says, you’re the one who has to live with it after closing!
