We are so excited to bring you this episode! It's a genuinely groundbreaking episode where we've been given all access into Europe's largest Muslim-owned lamb abattoir in Europe. This is an interview where you'll literally be taken into the abattoir with Rizvan, our host at the abattoir. We also get a fascinating insight into what it takes to lead a £60m turnover business and some key business lessons. A fascinating insight too into the operational knowledge behind the whole stun vs non-stun debate (EQL actually offer both HMC and non-HMC) from Rizvan (who, as well as being the managing director of the abattoir, has a Masters in Meat Science!). An absolute must listen!

We're talking in this episode about the asset class savvy investors are making millions from - startup investing. The likes of Uber, Netflix and thousands of startups you've never heard of have made overnight millionaires from people who took a £5k punt at some point in an early-stage company (probably little more than an idea at that point!). We discuss: - what is startup investing and why it's such a big deal - why are we even interested in this (not just the money) - how many startups you should invest in and how you can de-risk your investment to a fraction of what you invest using tax breaks - demystifying startup terminology (what on earth is a Series C round?!) - why valuation is not of primary concern in startup investing - what we look for in a startup (and why 95% of the deals we get never make it through) - where you can find those great startups (hint: not on public platforms like Seedrs!)

Islam has very clear teachings about how we should conduct ourselves in business, what the overriding principles are that we should maximise, and what high-level transaction all our transactions ultimately feedback into. In this podcast we synthesize all that into a pithy philosophy and a story.

I've been investigating the market for small businesses for around 2 years now. Small businesses offer a tremendous investment opportunity if you can acquire them and run them (or get someone to run it). I share with you my experience of the market, how the pricing works, where to find these small businesses, and why this is a BUYER's market. So whether you want to buy a business in order to quit your job and be your own boss, or whether 50% returns attract you, this episode is a must-listen. If you'd like us to really build out the content on this area, I need to hear your demand - drop me an email on mohsin@islamicfinanceguru.com to let me know!

In this episode, we're talking about what venture capital is. You might have heard of venture capital (or VC) but might not have a clue about what it is, and what terms like "seed", "Series A" etc mean. We're here to clarify! If you want to be added to our startup investor list, drop us an e-mail and we'll add you. Equally, if you're a startup founder looking for funding or general advice, we're happy to help too!
