A stern farmer and his daughter (or is it his wife?) stand before a white wooden house, pitchfork in hand. Their expressions are serious, their posture rigid.

Late at night, four figures sit in a fluorescent-lit diner on a street corner. Outside, the city is empty. No doors in or out. Just glass, light and quiet.

One of the biggest hacks for small business owners is removing your website in order to sell your company at a premium.
For example, I used to have a website, then I took it down and all of a sudden I was getting legitimate, fat offers to buy my business.
See, private equity people are lazy as hell. They get data from databases showing revenue proxies, run rate estimates, all kinds of ZoomInfo crap, etc. and they are willing to pay large premiums for easy, quick wins.
What's the easiest, quickest win? Making a website for a business that has no website.
"Wow, this business is doing $1.5M a year and $500k EBITDA with no website. Imagine if we made a website! We could get this to $3M gross and $1.5M EBITDA overnight!"
Because private equity people are narcissistic, they don't even consider that a small business owner may have outfoxed them and purposely taken down their website to set a trap.
You should be doing less, not more, and baiting snares for PE.
