  • This podcast always has great key points!

    Dee Ludlow really is spot on about the buyer should be leading the conversation and being the coach for the sellers. It provides a tone of how the process should go. I love this episode!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#347 From Employee to £6M Business Owner — How One Deal Changed Everything
Q: What role did deal flow and having multiple options play in your success?
Having multiple potential deals created healthy competition and certainty for sellers, preventing a bottleneck where you become a motivated buyer with limited choices, which improves the chances of getting the right terms.
#347 From Employee to £6M Business Owner — How One Deal Changed Everything
Q: How did you finally structure the second deal and what financing made it possible?
We used an invoice financing approach again, plus an aggregated facility across the first and second acquisitions, allowing us to borrow more while not overstretching ourselves and to roll up the debt
#347 From Employee to £6M Business Owner — How One Deal Changed Everything
Q: How did your first acquisition come about and why did it take so long to get done?
The initial partnership and investor negotiations dragged on due to disagreements over deal structure, due diligence, and how to fund the acquisition, which ultimately led to a pivot away from the investor and toward self-funding and reshaped financing.
#335 Live Q&A with Jonathan: No Slides, Just Straight Talk
Q: Is it possible to buy a business with no cash down as a foreigner?
Yes, it's the same as for anyone in the UK; you can buy businesses without third-party financing.
#335 Live Q&A with Jonathan: No Slides, Just Straight Talk
Q: Do you help in identifying motivated business targets?
Yes, I help clients identify businesses to buy.
