Jonathan Jay: How to successfully buy and sell businesses
Jonathan Jay has been an entrepreneur since dropping out of university at age 19.
Now 50 years old, he has built businesses in publishing, digital marketing, adult
education and coaching, and preschool education and sold each of them. During the
pandemic, he made 48 business acquisitions to create the 4th largest group in his
sector in under three years.
One notable deal was buying a £5m annual revenue digital marketing company from
its Private Equity owner for just £1 and selling it for £1.3m just eleven months later.
He is an advocate of a healthy work-life balance, suffering mental and physical
burnout, and believes you can achieve success without business taking over your life!
He now helps other people buy businesses and helps them avoid the expensive
mistakes - as he says he has made them all!
