I would look in to further. Lease fully paid for 5 years so based on £150k profit thats £750.k less £345 purchase price leaving £400K profit.
Does financing through Goverment development funds work to buy a business? Theres alot of those in my country
Very insightful! Very transparent explanation on who's buying businesses for
Glad it was helpful!
Am in uni and want to start a business after. How likely is it to start buying from the zero in my life.
Great video and what an awesome guy. He seems so genuine and down to earth.
Where did and how did you get the 7 percent?
No, not enough information
Pass. It’s a cash business. The government wants to replace cash with digital currency. Tye business could fall flat on its face
Woukd it really be that hard to transfer from cash to debit
No. It’s a dirty business.
I would pass unless there were significant Add Backs.
No

Hi Jonathan, I have already purchased your fast track program and there was a video there whereby you describe how to pay all the professionals until after the deal. How do you put off paying the valuation fee until after the purchase of the business?
Audio is not very clear,
If the property really is worth 3M, the business should close down and rent the property out to a different tenant. The incoming rent would be more than the brewery makes.
When will you be in Australia?

Value gained ❤
what if i want to sell a business?
what type of business do you want to sell? Tell us a little about it
Only as a bolt on to an existing business Love these, keep them coming
There r better business out there to acquire than this
No chance!
No, you have too few staff, what if they are retiring soon, who are you going to replace them with? what is your value add? Company may have saturated its local market, especially if they claim low maintenance/high end furniture. I see you managing, doing sales and trying to find products and what if you are in a Ulez zone -lower footfall.
Two persons to operate the business ? Isn't it a bit short when it comes to face problèmes ,illness or else ? No maybe , I would not buy this business.
Well it depends on a few factors, the growth rate , 3 -5 years accounts, liquidity of the business, cash flow , it might be a seasonal business , which will result in choppy turnover
Net profit 50k-100k (so 75k). My concern is that the owner may require to be involved in the business full time even if he's not receiving a salary on the books, if so, the new owner would effectively be buying a job which paid 75k and this is definitely not worth 500k.
Ecommerce furniture would be a no go for me - the cost of processing returns would be a nightmare! So many logistical challenges too in getting it delivered to people. Eeeek, no thanks!
I would only buy this business as an add on or part of a complimentary business. This in my opinion would be good for someone who is already looking at a furniture type of business or even a garden supply store. A landscaping company that also specializes in anything from construction of decks, outdoor fireplaces. It would be hard for me to justify purchasing as a standalone entity even initially.

Down trend in marriages, more like a better business is Divorce Lawyers.
2:37. Hard hell no. The numbers don't justify. The math ain't mathing
Love differed considerations
I'd only buy it if the real estate alone was worth 3.5M. At 103,000 profit you'd be better off renting the building to someone else imho.
Correct 👍
Good looking and smart.:)

Are there specialist banks that will lend you the money for an acquisition?
All lenders have at least one type of finance product that can be used in an acquisition
