Faster Growth by Acquisition with Weston Cotton

Weston Cotton of Custom Print Graphics joins Steven and Bruce to break down one of the most aggressive acquisition strategies in the decorated apparel industry. In just 9 months since buying his first contract print shop in May 2025, Weston has closed 3 acquisitions and is working on a 4th—building a roll-up strategy that's transforming how print shops consolidate and scale. This episode is a masterclass in business acquisition for print shop owners. Weston shares the exact process of buying a business: from identifying red flags during due diligence to structuring creative deals with seller financing, service management agreements, and strategic debt consolidation. He reveals why he passed on a $500K deal for a 30,000 sq ft facility with 60 heads of embroidery and 4 automatics—and what made his actual acquisition the right move.
