About The Workshop

I have made over 30 investments in the past 16 years - all using my own capital.

However, I recently acquired a chain of stores that has been operating for the past 20 years. It was consistently generating $1.7M in revenue and net profit was 10%. The business was not distressed. I purchased this business for $1...yes, you are reading this correctly...$1. The vendor was actually very happy. This was a bit of an 'Ah ha' moment for me - that it is really not imperative to use any of your own capital (or take any personal risk) in order to buy profitable companies.

This is a highly transferrable skill set and I can show people how to do this themselves.

Why start up a business from scratch when you can acquire an existing one - with predictable revenue and cash flow?

Globally, there are millions of businesses currently for sale. Statistically, only 1 out of 12 business listings will actually sell. There are also millions of 'baby-boomer' business owners seeking retirement and 80% of them have no succession plan. There is also more private capital available globally than there is homes for it. It is nearly a perfect storm!

I have been teaching a small number of people in the US, UK and Canada on how to do the following:

*How to source a business? Without using Brokers or Intermediaries to have a constant flow of deals that fit your specific parameters and interests.

*How to structure a 'win-win' offer? Deals only work when both parties gain. Using creative deal structures, I will show you how to get to a win-win.

*How to fund the deal? Using private capital (from my network) and creative financing without the need to use any of your own personal capital.

*How to conduct due diligence and closing? Legals and accounting are an integral part of any transaction. I will show you how to get this done efficiently and how to have the company pay for these expenses...not you!

*How to fix the company? Whether a company is distressed or profitable, there will be areas of the business that need fixing. I have some really clever and proven tactics that you can implement immediately that will have a significant impact on the cash flow of the business.

*How and when to use a Merger? This is the fastest way to build and grow a company.

*How to sell the company? Strategies on how and when to sell the business for 6 or 7 figure sums.

If you are interested in the world of M&A, but do not know where to begin, this workshop is for you. Of course, without having to use any of your own capital in order to transact!
