Today I'd like to answer some of the questions that I'm asked on LinkedIn and my Protégé Programme. The first question comes from David. David describes a common dealmaking trap. David has built up a good rapport with the seller before asking him about a business value. The sellers response was that he needed to speak to his wife. Since then the seller has been evasive. How can you jump-start a stalled acquisition? That's exactly what you'll discover in this week's podcast. You'll also learn… What to say to an entrepreneur that has an unrealistic valuation from a broker How to value a business on the numbers How to buy a business with a minority shareholder remaining in the deal   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI Visit us online at www.thedealmakersacademy.com Episodes of Business Buying Strategies are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Breaker.

I did an interview with property investor and serial entrepreneur, Rob Moore. In the interview, Rob confesses that in 2017... "We worked 50% harder and grew 5%" That led Rob and his business partner Mark Homer asked a simple yet powerful question. "How can we scale our business next year and not work more." That question led them to growth through acquisition. Their desire to grow through acquisition led them to me... even though they had already bought a couple of distressed businesses. Why did they want me to mentor them if they had already bought 2 distressed businesses? You'll learn that and more in this week's podcast. You'll also learn...

This week we meet Mike Finger, a successful small business owner who has bought, built and sold multiple businesses over the last 25 years. I’ve been wanting to meet Mike for some time, not least because when he first made contact, it was to tell me that he profoundly disagreed with my assertion that it’s easier to buy a business than to build or grow an existing one! Last week I managed to join Mike on a conference call – and this is how the conversation went.   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy https://bit.ly/3b86OFI Visit us online at www.thedealmakersacademy.com Episodes of Business Buying Strategies are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Breaker.
