G'day, I'm Pete Seligman. There are a growing number of people thinking about buying a business in this region, but it can be hard to see what that actually looks like. So to help bring one part of that process to life, I've teamed up with my mates Jason Andrew and James Frank to throw some businesses on the table and share our raw thoughts on each. This is Eta down under. We hope you enjoy it. In the latest "Eta Down Under" segment, we delved into the potential acquisition of a high-end beauty business in Queensland. Despite its 4.2 million dollars in revenue and 900 thousand dollars in earnings, we expressed skepticism about scalability and raised concerns about the discretionary nature of the industry, cyclicality, and potential revenue decline. We discussed challenges in creative businesses, particularly jewelry, scrutinizing intellectual property protection, scalability, and the potential for navigating larger corporate customers.
