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 164 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast.  This week, we meet up for a second time with Richard Bundock, one of my dealmaking clients. Now, Richard is a great example of someone who started a successful business, but wasn't able to grow it organically as quickly as his ambition demanded. Now he has a couple of acquisitions under his belt, his whole outlook has changed.

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

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 158 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast.  Now if you are a regular listener to the podcast you’ll know that at the start of recent episodes I have opened up my little black book and given the contact details of the lawyer who I recommend and use for my own acquisitions in the children’s day nursery sector.    Last year, I invited John Andrews onto the podcast to talk about the role that the solicitor plays in a merger or acquisition of a business. Now I meet a fair number of dealmakers who say that if a deal of their goes wrong, it’s usually the solicitor who has messed things up - so I started by asking John if there was any truth in that at all.  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
