Instead of "Great Aunt Birgit" and the laser tag, Saul should have assisted Walter and Skyler with buying into Beneke Fabricators. It would be a multi-staged process, firsts buying a stake in the business and quietly paying off Ted's back taxes. Ted would still run everything from the front, and Skyler would remain a bookkeeper in the office. The business already runs at a loss, so to keep afloat they can use more of the drug money. Eventually the business would grow as the income builds.

Pretty much it is a similar setup to Los Pollos Hermanos as the front company for Gus, with Madrigal Electromotive backing him up.

I know Saul tried the nail salon on Jesse, but he might have convinced him to buy the laser tag business as a way to launder his money. He could have employed his friends Skinny Pete and Badger to work there too.

Saul Goodman told Walt and Jesse that "You two suck at pedalling meth", and then that he "knows a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy".

Instead of setting up a meeting between his "guy" (Gustavo Fring) and Walt & Jesse, Saul should have just bought some meth from them and then sold it (with markup) to Fring, delivered via his P.I. Mike Ermantraut.

If the product was good, then the business transactions can continue. The meth sourced from Walt & Jesse can be mixed with the meth produced by Gale, then distributed through the network.
