Business Buying Strategies from The Dealmaker's Academy

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 163 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. Just before Christmas I met up online with another of my dealmaking students - Clayton Shaw. Now Clayton already had an acquisition under his belt when we first met - he bought a computer company with a friend some years ago - but since joining my programme in February 2021, he has made a series of real estate sector acquisitions - and has ambitious plans for more in 2022.

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.

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.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 157 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. Now whenever I meet or talk with regular listeners to the show, most tell me how much they love - and how useful they find - the episodes where I talk in depth with a single dealmaker about the acquisitions they have made. I'm pleased to hear this - because I love them too! And from time to time, I meet dealmakers who have so much energy, and who are so keen to get started, that I want to bottle their enthusiasm and vitality and sell it! This week, I want to listen again to one such dealmaker, who was a guest on the podcast at the beginning of last year. His name is John Graves, and having decided to focus on acquiring distressed businesses, he bought his first company - a hotel and golf club in receivership - in a deal that took just seven days to complete.
