Do you like the idea of buying a business to give you a giant leap in sales and profits? And... Do you have some unanswered questions about how to get started? If so you are not alone. Which is why I ran a live Q&A online training last month to answer all your business buying questions. Questions such as: What is the most important aspect of the potential business to appraise? What is the most effective way to generate leads of potential businesses to buy? What is the best way to approach a distressed purchase? Are regulated businesses worth considering? Who are the best people to turn around a distressed business? How do you stay out of the day-to-day and make sure the business is running properly? And much much more. You'll learn the answers to all these questions and more in my latest podcast. I also reveal why I've chosen to invest in the children's nursery sector. And why owning a business is not the grind of running one.   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 used to think that administration was a bad word. In fact, it used to scare me. Until... I realised that the administration process actually protects the business buyer. You see, administration draws a line in the sand so no more skeletons can come out of the closet. But... When you buy a business out of administration, you are buying the business as seen. The administrators will not give you warranties or guarantees. So there are hard-won secrets to safely buy a business out of administration. That's why I'd like to introduce you to Mark Philips. Mark Philips is a specialist company administrator. He'll explain what he does, and how he handles offers to buy a business out of administration. Mark reveals how you can get the best deal. You'll find Mark's insider administration secrets in this week's podcast.  You'll also hear: Why you need a finance broker and a number of different ways to raise money for an acquisition.

Here's a frustrating situation that many deal makers run into... You've found an entrepreneur that wants to sell their business... You've agreed heads of terms... So... You think completing the deal will be simple. After all, you're not buying a multi-million business with different entities. You're right to think that you ask the staff a few questions, do your due diligence on the books and you can draw up the Sale & Purchase Agreement. But... What happens when the seller stops responding to your emails and stops taking your calls? Does this mean that the seller doesn't want to sell their business? Does this mean that the seller wants to change the deal but can't tell you? What should you do in this situation?
