This week we meet John Hood, who was a recent guest at my Dealmakers Live event in January. (We have another one coming up in July, by the way, with two days of exceptional deal makers in a room with a hundred people or more answering your questions about business buying).
When he stood up to speak, John told us all about his six acquired businesses with a combined annual revenue of £6 million. As you’ll hear, John says that if he hadn’t read my book, listened to this podcast and watched my YouTube videos then he would never have considered buying a business.

However, John is an experienced deal maker and he has made buying distressed businesses his speciality.
