Three different people, three different approaches — all proving that complete beginners can buy businesses
Bought his first business just months after completing Dealmakers Mastermind. Closed the deal in 8 weeks after identifying a genuine seller.
E-commerce became the biggest part of his business post-acquisition. Used his strategy to acquire similar companies and form a group.
"The acquisition changed the focus of his business and allowed him to move into an area he hadn't explored before."
Found Jonathan Jay on YouTube after failed business attempts. Enrolled in FastTrack, then Mastermind. Was initially hesitant — then took action.
Sent out letters, had conversations with sellers. Admits his first calls weren't good — but you have to go through the learning curve.
"He had to go through the learning curve to get better. You can't skip it."
6 acquisitions, group at £2.5M annual revenue from zero, with another deal lined up ready to go.
Has done 150 discovery calls with owners. Learned how to handle hostile people and when to trust his gut.
"Buy a small business that can stand on its own two feet. Weak management will drag the rest of the group down."
