The buyer's path
I want to buy a business
TODO: placeholder. Everything that happens before money moves: how companies are shortlisted, which figures are requested from the owner, and where a deal usually breaks.
Where people start
TODO: placeholder. Before opening any listing, three questions are answered: how much cash is on hand, how many hours a week you can give the company, and in which country you are willing to pay tax.
- TODO: cash on hand and what you can borrow
- TODO: hours a week the company can actually have
- TODO: country, language, willingness to relocate
Which numbers get read
TODO: placeholder. Three years of accounts, bank statements, contracts with key clients and suppliers, employment contracts, the lease.
- TODO: revenue and how much of it sits with one client
- TODO: the gap between paper profit and cash in the account
- TODO: what stops working the day the owner leaves
Where deals break
TODO: placeholder. Usually not on price, but on the owner's exit terms and on what surfaces in the final week of verification.
-
Verify
TODO: placeholder. Accounts, contracts, suppliers, and how much of the company rests on the current owner — what gets read before any deposit.
-
Buy
TODO: placeholder. Price, deal structure, seller financing, what gets signed and in which order.
Programmes
- Format one Intensive TODO: placeholder. Two days to find out whether this path is yours at all, instead of spending six months finding out the hard way. Read more
- Format two One-month programme TODO: placeholder. Four weeks with a weekly live session: from shortlisting to reviewing one specific company. Read more
- Format three Nine months with mentors TODO: placeholder. Guidance from search through the deal and into the first hundred days, next to a practitioner who has already done one. Read more
