# Business Update: Cash Flow, Cost Savings, and Coyote Acquisition Talks

**April 06, 2026 at 09:01 AM** · 47m 44s

### Bottom Line
The team reviewed a tight cash flow forecast and cost-saving initiatives, while the primary focus was on advancing a complex 90/10 acquisition proposal for the 'Coyote' business (Star Wagons) from Hudson, which hinges on operational restructuring and faces competition from Galpin.

### Key Takeaways
- **Coyote Acquisition:** The team presented Hudson with a 90/10 equity split model projecting $18M EBITDA by 2027, requiring aggressive footprint consolidation and headcount reduction, but faces competition from cash-rich Galpin.
- **Cash Flow & Cost Savings:** Cash flow remains tight at month-start, but the team is realizing ~$40K in monthly cost savings, primarily from switching to a lower-cost accounting team and moving from reviewed to compiled financials.
- **Operational Challenges:** Speaker A's life care planning business lacks a clear growth strategy, and the organization struggles to implement AI effectively, focusing on solutions rather than problem definition.

### Action Items
- [ ] Await and review feedback from Hudson on the 90/10 acquisition framework and commercial terms. — @Speaker B `high`
- [ ] Finalize the transition from the old accounting team to the new, lower-cost team to realize the planned $15-20K monthly savings. — @Speaker C `high`
- [ ] Analyze Coyote's fleet list to tag trucks for likely disposition to estimate potential cash distribution from asset sales. — @Speaker C `medium`
- [ ] Develop a clear strategic path (milk vs. grow) for the life care planning business, addressing its debt and growth model. — @Speaker A `medium`
