Private equity is buying law firms now using a structure most people have never heard of, the SBA just rewrote the rules on acquisition financing, and dental and vet roll ups are showing us exactly how this movie ends in every boring industry.In this episode Charles and I go topic to topic on what is actually happening in M and A and small business acquisitions right now. No listener questions today, just six hot topics in about an hour.We cover how private equity is using MSO structures to get around the rule that blocks non lawyers from owning law firms, why a Louisiana personal injury firm partnering with a PE backed investor in January 2026 might be the first domino in a massive legal industry roll up, and why law firm multiples are already moving from the historical four to six times EBITDA range toward eight to twelve times for sponsor backed platforms.Then we get into the SBA changes that went into effect March first 2026. New citizenship requirements, a six month ownership lookback, the end of the automated credit score fast track for small loans, and a collateral threshold that dropped from five hundred thousand dollars down to fifty thousand dollars. If your plan was just get an SBA loan, this episode tells you what changed underneath you.We also break down the dental and veterinary roll up landscape, why twenty one plus PE backed dental platforms now support around fifteen percent of all dentists in the country, why vet medicine is roughly five years behind that curve, and what that timeline tells you about where your own industry might be headed.Plus the bigger 2026 M and A picture, why this is being called a conviction cycle instead of a volume cycle, what four point three trillion dollars in private equity dry powder actually means for buyers at every size, and why every one of these headlines points back to the same four step playbook you can run on a business worth one and a half million dollars instead of one and a half billion.If you are serious about buying, building, or exiting a business, this is the kind of episode that changes how you read the news.Try Deal Flow OS free and let AI find motivated sellers in your target industry before anyone else gets there.Join the free class inside Buy Build Exit Academy and learn the exact framework for your first acquisition.LINKSdealflow-os.comhttps://buybuildexitwithroyredd.subst...IG: @buybuildexitFree Class: Buy Build Exit Academy — https://www.skool.com/buy-build-exit-...
