Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

This week we meet another dealmaker – Teddy Velkov. Now Teddy came to the UK from his native Bulgaria when he was in his twenties – and he knew no one here, and spoke not a word of English at the time.
We’re going to hear how Teddy acquired a series of window cleaning businesses in London – and is now one of the city’s largest. It’s a remarkable story, and I started by asking Teddy about his background.

Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

This week we meet Joe Enright, who is on the point of making his first acquisition – a commercial cleaning business – whilst still holding down a full time job. Joe and I talked about his plans for the business, and how the opportunity had come about, but I started by asking Joe to remind me where we had originally met.

Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

Now I’m conscious that our listeners cover a wide spectrum – ranging from experienced dealmakers at one end, and people who have yet to put their first business acquisition together at the other. This week, I want to focus on the less experienced group – the ones that are new to dealmaking, and who need support to get started. 

Last year I ran a webinar where I answered the three questions that every new dealmaker asks me:

  • How do you go about valuing a business?
  • How do you finance an acquisition?
  • How do you find the experts that will help you get a deal over the line?

This week, I want you to meet Brendan Cullen, who owns a business in the automotive sector, and has recently made his first acquisition, having bought one of his competitors. I started by asking Brendan whether he felt on Cloud 9 now that his first acquisition was behind him.

Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

This week, we meet Richard Bundock, another of my private clients. I asked Richard about what made him consider acquiring a business, rather than starting one and growing it organically. As you’ll hear from his answer, it quickly became apparent that he’d tried the ’start and grow’ strategy around twelve years ago, and had found it hard work.

Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

This week, I was delighted to catch up online with one of my private clients, Phil Hunt. Now Phil has a full time job as HR Director of a city bank in London, but that hasn’t stopped him from following the Dealmakers Academy programme and making his first two acquisitions.

Phil has recently acquired two hairdressing salons – and here he is introducing himself, and explaining how the first acquisition came about.

Welcome to the podcast where you find all the very best information on how to buy and sell businesses and become a successful dealmaker.

To celebrate the podcast’s third birthday, I’ve been delving back in the archives and picking out some of my favourite interviews and discussions.

This week, we return to the very first episode of the podcast, where I met up with Neville Wright, the founder of Kiddicare, a children’s and nursery retailer, which he sold to Morrissons in 2011 for £70m.
Before it was acquired, Kiddicare was the largest privately owned online retailer of its kind – So I was keen to find out from Neville how the deal came about.
