Someone who owns a small company with low 7 figure EBITDA and somewhere in the dozens of employees? How much cash, liquid stock, etc. do these guys typically have on hand?
Seems like a lot of these guys have great businesses but spend or reinvest a lot and don't have a ton of cash just sitting around.

It depends on the business, but with "low seven figures" EBITDA ($1m - $3m), an owner ought to be able to pull out $500k - $1m annually in addition to a reasonable salary. The bigger thing you see in these situations is stuff getting run through the business. "Work" trucks and what not. Employing spouses and family is another major perk.

All true but my question is more about how much cash they keep on hand. As well as liquid securities like in brokerage accounts. $1 million? Less? More?
