Business Buying Strategies from The Dealmaker's Academy

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 171 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast.    Now back in episode 117 of the podcast, in January of last year, we met mergers and acquisitions specialist Rob Goddard - and talked about what it takes to sell a business quickly and effectively.    Since then, Rob has been applying his skills and knowledge of selling businesses to acquiring them - and has just completed his first acquisition - a large accountancy practice with 45 staff and a turnover of £2m. This week Rob and I talk about how he pulled the deal off.  Find more details of the next Fasttrack programme at: www.thedealmakersacademy.com/FAST Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 165 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast.  Just before Christmas I met up online with John Corney, another of my mastermind clients. When I first met John, he had just sold his internet services businesses to a large aggregator for a considerable sum - but it had taken him nearly 25 years to reach that milestone. And whilst John was in no mood to retire, he was looking for a new business, one that could grow much faster and with less direct input from him. The thought of dealmaking appealed to John and the rest, as they say is history.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 162 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast.  Earlier this week, Jonathan met up online with another mastermind student, Kris Bark. Now Kris has run his software business for many years -  and acquiring competitors and related businesses has been something he has thought of doing for the last five years.  But it was only after he bought out his business partner that it became a priority. And having attended our course at the start of last year, Kris started targeting businesses to acquire.    As you’ll hear, he has made tremendous progress.  Find more details of the next Fasttrack programme at: www.thedealmakersacademy.com/FAST Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI
