15 people already going
Everyone wants more money Few people get it
The problem is not that you work too littleThe problem is that the business is not yours
You spend years growing someone else's business. You give your time and get a salary. Your pay stops at the top of your job, and you have less and less time for your life. Money in a savings account will not double in a year. Most people see two options: start a company from zero, which takes years and costs a lot, or change jobs and get a new boss. There is a third option: buy a business that already makes money. Few people do it, because three ideas stop them:
-
They look for an idea, not a business that pays
Most people try to build something new and spend years with no sales. At the same time, businesses with customers, staff and income are for sale every week. People just do not look where these businesses are.
-
They think they need the full price in cash
Most people stop as soon as they count their savings. But the price of a working business is open to talks: you can pay in parts, take a loan, bring in a partner or agree special terms with the owner.
-
They think a small business is too hard to run
You do not have to do everything yourself. You need two skills: who to hire and which numbers to watch. AI now does most of the routine, so you can run the business next to your job.
The third way works differently
-
Buy a business that already works
-
Set up how you run it
-
Stop trading your hours for money
The difference is not how hard you work. You buy a working business once, and after that your income grows with the business, not with your hours.
Programme
Three live evenings
In three live evenings you will see how this works.
- 3 evenings, 2–3 hours each, at 6:00 pm CEST
- In English, and I host them myself
Day 1 Where to look and how to check
- Where to find businesses that already make money — We show you where people find businesses that already work and already make a profit. If you do not know where to look, nothing else matters. That is why we start here.
- What to buy and what fits you — How to tell a good business from a bad one, and how to pick one that fits your background. The same business can be right for one person and wrong for another. You can see this before you buy.
- What to check before you buy — What to check and in which order. Checking is not a good feeling after a call with the seller. It is a clear list of papers you open and read.
- Which numbers show real profit — Which numbers tell you that the business really makes money, and does not only look good on paper. You decide by the numbers, not by what the owner says.
You take away: where to find businesses that make money, and the list you check them with.
Day 2 Five ways to buy a business
- Pay the seller over time — You pay part now and the rest later, from the money the business brings in. We show you how to agree the terms and how to put them in the contract.
- A loan against the business — The bank lends against the business and its profit, not against you. We look at which businesses fit this way.
- A partner with money, you with management — One side puts in the cash, the other runs the company. The goal is terms that work for both sides, written clearly in the contract.
- A share for your work — Instead of money you bring what the business needs: marketing, sales or management. You get a share for the growth you create.
- Buy the business step by step — You start with a small share and buy the rest later, from the profit you helped to grow.
You take away: five ways to buy when you do not have the full price.
Day 3 How to run a business with AI
- AI does the routine — What you can hand to AI and other tools, and what stays with you. We talk about real tools, not about the idea that AI will do everything for you.
- You do not need experience to start — A business runs on your team and on a few numbers you watch. We show you how to pick those numbers, so that people do not come to you with every question.
- You can do it with a partner — You do not have to run the company yourself. A partner can take the daily work while you stay the owner. We show you how to split the roles and write it down.
You take away: how to run a company so that it takes little of your time.
What you take away from the three evenings
-
A step-by-step plan for buying
The full path in order: where to look, what to buy, how to check it and how to agree the price. The plan stays with you.
-
A checklist for checking a company
Which numbers to ask for, which papers to read, and what has to match. You can use it with any business you look at.
-
Three ways to buy without capital
A partner puts in the money and you run the business. The seller lets you pay from future profit. Or you get a share for your work instead of cash.
-
How to run a company with AI
What you can hand to AI, what stays with you, how to watch the numbers and how to pay yourself. These are the tools Nikole uses.
Who hosts
Nikole Hillton
Nikole has owned businesses for 20 years. She built five companies from zero and worked on more than 30 small and medium businesses — buying them, running them and selling them.
She has done all of it herself: picked a company, checked the numbers, agreed the price, set up the team and the management. She goes through the same path with you, step by step, on her own deals and her own numbers.
Today she owns a consulting company in Dubai. In the intensive she shares what she has done herself, not what she read about.

What else you get
-
Checklist: what to check in a business
What to look at before you buy, point by point. Plus who can help you check and what to give to specialists. It stays with you after the intensive.
-
5 ways to buy with no money
A partner with cash, payment over time, a loan against the business, a share for your work, and special terms with the owner. With examples from the deals Nikole made herself.
-
Checklist: which business fits you
Questions to ask yourself before you look at businesses for sale. They stop you from buying one just because it is on the market and the numbers look nice.
-
How to set up your company
Who does what, what you watch yourself and what you hand over. How to check the numbers every month and how to pay yourself — the way Nikole runs her own companies.
Answers to the main questions
I do not have much money. Is this for me?
The second evening is all about buying with little money or none: paying over time, loans, special terms with the owner, and partners who put in the cash while you run the business. This is the plan and the experience of Nikole. It is not a promise that your deal will cost you nothing. How much you need depends on the business and on the seller.
I have always worked for someone else and never owned a business
This page is made for you. Nikole starts with how to stop thinking like an employee — a sales director, a lawyer, a head of department — and start thinking like an owner. Then come the numbers, the checks and the daily work of running a company.
I do not live in Europe. Will this work from my country?
The plan does not depend on where you live. We show you where to find businesses that make money, what to check in them and how to agree terms with the owner. Legal and tax rules depend on your country and on your deal. You check them with specialists, and in the second evening we say who can help.
I do not speak the language of the country where I want to buy
The intensive is in English, and the plan and the checklists are in English too. Specialists do part of the work on any deal, and in the second evening we go through who they are. You solve the language question when you have a specific deal, not while you are choosing a business.
I am afraid of buying problems instead of a good business
That is the second evening: what to look at, what to check, which numbers show real profit and who can help you check. The checklist stays with you. Checking lowers the risk, but the decision on your deal is always yours.
How long will this take?
The intensive itself is three evenings. After that it depends on you and on the market. We do not promise that you will find, check and buy a business in a month. Here you get the plan; we do not do the deal for you.
What if it is not for me?
You can get all your money back until the intensive ends. You do not have to explain why. The refund rules are in our public offer.
How do I pay?
You can pay with a Visa or Mastercard card, or with Apple Pay and Google Pay. The form asks for your name, email and phone. Then you press “Sign up and pay” and get access by email.
Can I pay from my company?
The page takes card payments from private people. If you need to pay another way, write to us before you pay. Our contacts are in the public offer.
I work, and my evenings are busy. Will this format work for me?
The intensive is made for people who have a job and think about buying or starting a business. Three evenings fit around work — you do not have to quit. We send the dates and times by email after you pay, so you can plan ahead.
What happens after the intensive?
You keep the plan, the checklists and the material on how to buy without cash. We also have a longer programme with support along the way. Here we give you the plan; we do not do your deal. You decide whether to go further or to work on your own.
Why is this better than starting a business from zero?
A working business already has customers and money coming in, so you do not build it from zero. Nikole says this is faster and more real than a startup with no income. You still have to check everything, and no one can promise how your deal will end.
Buying a working business from A to Z
How to find one, check it, buy it and run it. The whole plan in three evenings with someone who does this every day.
