Episode 42 Former Wall Street Investment Banker Carl Allen On Why You Should Buy Businesses To Fuel Growth And Profits
"I have a very big why for what I do that gives me all the fuel, purpose, and drive, to focus every day to make this happen." - Carl Allen
Carl Allen is a world-class entrepreneur, investor, and corporate dealmaker who has worked on more than 330 transactions worth close to $48 billion. In his nearly 30 year career, Carl has analyzed thousands of businesses, big and small in 17 different countries across nearly every business sector, including technology, pharmaceuticals, transport and logistics, engineering, manufacturing, aerospace, consumer goods, business services, retail, professional services, financing, packaging, and corporate clothing.
Carl first earned his reputation during his 16 years on Wall Street, working for Bank of America, Hewlett Packard, Forrester, and Gartner. There he advised some of the world's largest corporations on investments, mergers, acquisitions, disposals, and restructuring, and helped hundreds of business owners raise both equity and debt financing.
Carl founded Dealmaker Wealth Society because he believes starting a business from scratch is certifiably crazy. He wanted to use his highly specialized skill set to help others realize their dream of self-employment without the long, hard, up all night slog with a 96% failure rate in 10 years, according to the E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. Today, Carl is helping thousands of entrepreneurs all over the world buy existing and profitable small businesses.
