Business Buying Strategies From The Dealmaker's Academy

 This week we meet Darren Jacobs, who since joining my business buying courses has bought a total of 25 businesses in just eight months. He’s already sold four of them and has an ambitious target to do 100 deals.  Darren bought his first salon for his daughter, a qualified hair stylist, in May 2020. But when he started sending enquiry letters out, he quickly built a pipeline of potential acquisitions. Business Buying Strategies is the leading podcast for people who want to buy a business. Each week I interview deal makers who've been on my business acquisition Mastermind program and find out about their deals and behind the scenes of their acquisitions. If you want to know how to get started in mergers and acquisitions, then take my free online course.
