Today I'd like to answer some of the questions that I'm asked on LinkedIn and my Protégé Programme. The first question comes from David. David describes a common dealmaking trap. David has built up a good rapport with the seller before asking him about a business value. The sellers response was that he needed to speak to his wife. Since then the seller has been evasive. How can you jump-start a stalled acquisition? That's exactly what you'll discover in this week's podcast. You'll also learn… What to say to an entrepreneur that has an unrealistic valuation from a broker How to value a business on the numbers How to buy a business with a minority shareholder remaining in the deal   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI Visit us online at www.thedealmakersacademy.com Episodes of Business Buying Strategies are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Breaker.

I did an interview with property investor and serial entrepreneur, Rob Moore. In the interview, Rob confesses that in 2017... "We worked 50% harder and grew 5%" That led Rob and his business partner Mark Homer asked a simple yet powerful question. "How can we scale our business next year and not work more." That question led them to growth through acquisition. Their desire to grow through acquisition led them to me... even though they had already bought a couple of distressed businesses. Why did they want me to mentor them if they had already bought 2 distressed businesses? You'll learn that and more in this week's podcast. You'll also learn...

This week we meet Mike Finger, a successful small business owner who has bought, built and sold multiple businesses over the last 25 years. I’ve been wanting to meet Mike for some time, not least because when he first made contact, it was to tell me that he profoundly disagreed with my assertion that it’s easier to buy a business than to build or grow an existing one! Last week I managed to join Mike on a conference call – and this is how the conversation went.   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI Visit us online at www.thedealmakersacademy.com Episodes of Business Buying Strategies are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Breaker.

Do you like the idea of buying a business to give you a giant leap in sales and profits? And... Do you have some unanswered questions about how to get started? If so you are not alone. Which is why I ran a live Q&A online training last month to answer all your business buying questions. Questions such as: What is the most important aspect of the potential business to appraise? What is the most effective way to generate leads of potential businesses to buy? What is the best way to approach a distressed purchase? Are regulated businesses worth considering? Who are the best people to turn around a distressed business? How do you stay out of the day-to-day and make sure the business is running properly? And much much more. You'll learn the answers to all these questions and more in my latest podcast. I also reveal why I've chosen to invest in the children's nursery sector. And why owning a business is not the grind of running one.   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our

I used to think that administration was a bad word. In fact, it used to scare me. Until... I realised that the administration process actually protects the business buyer. You see, administration draws a line in the sand so no more skeletons can come out of the closet. But... When you buy a business out of administration, you are buying the business as seen. The administrators will not give you warranties or guarantees. So there are hard-won secrets to safely buy a business out of administration. That's why I'd like to introduce you to Mark Philips. Mark Philips is a specialist company administrator. He'll explain what he does, and how he handles offers to buy a business out of administration. Mark reveals how you can get the best deal.
