The key lenses Jonathan uses to evaluate any acquisition opportunity
Revenue, profit, assets — and the story behind them. Is the asking price justified by the financials?
What's between the lines? Stock levels, property terms, staff dependencies — the things listings gloss over.
Can you scale it? Is there untapped demand, operational slack, or a route to market you can exploit?
Owner dependency, customer concentration, ageing equipment — the risks that kill deals or slash valuations.
