Business buying advice

[Listen ] Use these strategies to increase the value of your business - Andy Hemming

In the latest episode of the Business Buying Strategies podcast, business growth expert Andy Hemming explains how to oversee the performance of your business and drive growth without getting involved in the day-to-day operations. As a business investor, you need to avoid being drawn into daily management. Yet you also need to set the direction and focus on the business while holding the management team accountable.

Listen to this episode to discover:

• Why a business that is reliant on the business owner will struggle to grow (and will never be as valuable)
• What specific metrics and KPIs you should be looking at, as the owner of the business (these are different to what a manager or staff member should be tracking)?
• Why it is important to define – and enforce – performance standards (it’s all about expectations)

[Watch ] One deal can change your life

Buying a business is not like investing in property. With property investing, no one expects to buy a single property and then sit back and retire. When you choose business acquisition as your investment strategy, it is very different. Buying just one business is transformational and could give you the financial freedom you always wanted – without giving away your time.

Watch to discover…

• How Jonathan was able to sell a business for ￡1.25 million 11 months after buying it for only ￡1
• How that one deal still pays all Jonathan’s bills today… 17 years later??
• How to find opportunities to buy businesses and avoid dealing with brokers (very important for your first deal)

[Watch ] How I buy and sell businesses - James Caan

Entrepreneur and former Dragon’s Den investor, James Caan, took 17 years to grow his recruitment business from zero to a multi-million-pound exit. Using the investment from the sale of the business, he chose to do it again - but without the 17-year timeline. He knew the quickest way to grow a company was to ‘Buy and Build’. In this video, he explains how he did and how you can, too.?

Watch to discover…

• How James grew his start-up recruitment business into an industry-leading global brand before selling to a Private Equity firm
• Why he has never risked his own personal finances and wealth to acquire a business
• Why James felt a ‘Buy and Build’ strategy was the best option for him (and how he is executing the strategy)
