      great video , how would you fund such businesses through acquisition/leverage finance , they normally ask for your experience and your own wealth though

      You have a very large business community - I think that you maybe don't have the system to follow - dealmakers.co.uk

    I’m about to reach out to an owner about buying his business that’s available for purchase. Should I mention how I’m new to the world of buying businesses? Or would that do more harm than good?

    • @theDealmakers
      @theDealmakers  6 місяців тому +3

      why do you feel the need to tell them you are a beginner?! I'm not sure it needs to be mentioned at all - as long as you can deliver, who cares that you are a first time buyer?

      @@theDealmakers I’m not sure, I just thought it might be good to mention because I don’t entirely know what I’m doing yet. But thanks!

      If you are not sure what you are doing, please do NOT talk to owners until you are 100% confident with the process, how to value and negotiation!
