Decision route · Brand Wars · through August 26

Buy a business without returning to zero

A route from the current cash-loop bottleneck to a purchase date with a protected cash floor.

For
GTA$1M to GTA$5M bankroll
Window
2-6 play weeks
Starting situationThe target is chosen, but its effect on the next cash cycle is unclear.
Ready signalThe purchase leaves a reserve, supplies and a clear next income source.
Red flagThe price works only by spending the last cash or counting gross sales before costs.
Four steps

Every step ends with a verifiable exit

Do not read everything in sequence. Open the relevant layer, run the check and return to the route with a result.

    Run the adverse case

Route rules

Three rules that cannot move to make the answer convenient

  1. 01The reserve is part of the full decision cost.
  2. 02Weekly flow is measured after supplies and active friction.
  3. 03The purchase must fund the next move instead of removing it.
