Business Buying Strategies from The Dealmaker's Academy

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 147 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. This week we meet Joe Enright, who is on the point of making his first acquisition - a commercial cleaning business - whilst still holding down a full time job. Joe and I talked about his plans for the business, and how the opportunity had come about, but I started by asking Joe to remind me where we had originally met.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 144 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. Now I'm conscious that our listeners cover a wide spectrum - ranging from experienced dealmakers at one end, and people who have yet to put their first business acquisition together at the other. This week, I want to focus on the less experienced group - the ones that are new to dealmaking, and who need support to get started. Last year I ran a webinar where I answered the three questions that every new dealmaker asks me: How do you go about valuing a business? How do you finance an acquisition? How do you find the experts that will help you get a deal over the line?

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 143 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. This week, I want you to meet Brendan Cullen, who owns a business in the automotive sector, and has recently made his first acquisition, having bought one of his competitors.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 142 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. This week, we meet Richard Bundock, another of my private clients. I asked Richard about what made him consider acquiring a business, rather than starting one and growing it organically. As you'll hear from his answer, it quickly became apparent that he'd tried the 'start and grow' strategy around twelve years ago, and had found it hard work.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 141 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. This week, I was delighted to catch up online with one of my private clients, Phil Hunt.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 140 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. This week, we return to the very first episode of the podcast, where I met up with Neville Wright, the founder of Kiddicare, a children's and nursery retailer, which he sold to Morrissons in 2011 for £70m. Before it was acquired, Kiddicare was the largest privately owned online retailer of its kind - So I was keen to find out from Neville how the deal came about.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 139 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. As part of our third birthday celebrations, we've been enjoying delving back into the archives.

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 138 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. Now if you are a regular listener to this podcast, you may be as shocked as I was to discover that just a couple of weeks ago, we celebrated our third birthday. Since our very first episode way back in April 2018, we have interviewed and spoken with some remarkable people. In the early days, we used to edit each interview into a number of bitesize segments, and then spread them out over a number of episodes. This was fine at the time, but in hindsight some of the interviews were so rich in content that I believe they deserve to be heard in a single sitting. I have handpicked four of my favourite interviews from the podcast, and Ed, our podcast producer, has re-edited them so you get to hear each one in full. This week, we return to August 2018, when I was joined by Mark Supperstone, a Director of the Resolve Group, a company that specialises in acquiring and funding distressed companies. I've chosen this particular contribution because of the number of students and clients I meet who are keen to grow by acquiring distressed businesses themselves. It's not without its risks, but the rewards can be handsome if you get it right. So here's Mark explaining how they made their first acquisition, when they purchased a bakery business out of administration.

UK listeners will be aware that there are currently a number of government backed lending schemes, including CBills and bounce back loans, courtesy of the pandemic. How are these affecting the access to finance, and the ability to borrow? And what effect has the pandemic had on other types of lending, like asset finance, invoice factoring and Management buy ins and buy outs?
