Zac Smith was a mechanical engineer who wanted more flexibility and upside than a corporate career could offer. He bought an existing CertaPro Painters franchise in North Carolina with three employees and under $1 million in revenue. He put down about 10% in cash and financed the rest with an SBA loan and a small seller note, backed by a personal guarantee. Three years later, the company was on track for $3 million in revenue and $600,000 in profit. Smith sold it for $1.5 million, all cash at closing.
