Business Buying Strategies from The Dealmaker's Academy
Business:Entrepreneurship
In this week’s episode, Jonathan shares his insights on successfully buying a business. He discusses a recent networking event held in Manchester, where he presented common mistakes buyers make and rules to follow for a successful acquisition.
Jonathan explains that you don't need a massive bank balance or perfect credit to buy a business, but instead having multiple options, substantial knowledge, confidence, and right mindset can lead to a successful deal.
You will learn about:
- The four golden rules of business acquisition to getting a business without risking personal assets.
- Why you should never use your own money.
- Why you should never run the business personally.
- How to avoid personal risk.
- How to plan your exit early.
He emphasizes the importance of moving fast during the acquisition process and being surrounded with positive people who can provide support. He concludes by informing about their Dealmakers Retreat event in Marbella.
