Hey all. Mike Christian, based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. I buy, build, and fix SME businesses. Currently active through Prospera Capital Partners, a buy-and-build vehicle targeting boring, cash-generative SMEs: predominantly property services (soft & hard FM) and letting agencies, though we look at anything with recurring revenue, clean accounts, and a motivated owner. I'm also a Fractional Fixer (https://fractionalfixer.vip/) through my advisory, nReal. When I'm not buying businesses, I'm usually inside someone else's, stabilising the numbers before they go to market or fall over. That gives me a slightly different lens on deals. I've seen the inside of enough founder-led businesses to know where the bodies are usually buried. Happy to contribute properly here: share what I've learned, call things out when I see bad practice, and be useful rather than just take up space. I've put two free resources in the Gumroad library that might be useful to people in this room: 1) The Fixer Cheat Sheet: five reasons founder-led businesses hit a ceiling, and what each one actually means. Useful before you buy and useful after. nrealco.gumroad.com/l/gelikk 2) The Cash Flow Stabilisation Blueprint: an HTML dashboard with seven levers in sequence to break the boom-bust cash cycle in any owner-managed business. Relevant from day one of any acquisition. nrealco.gumroad.com/l/ofcdyu Both free. No catch. Looking forward to being in the room. Mike

Ciao everyone Sebastian here. Happy to be here and see everyones acquisitions journey. I personally am looking to buy businesses in Sweden. I'm based in Stockholm, Sweden and searching for off-market deals. My current status is that I'm setting up my holdco, selling my AI services to a few high paying clients for cashflow, preparing for bank meetings, and setting up meetings with potential sellers. Cheers!!

Day 1, trying to whine of analysis paralysis and get started in full force.Starting off with my first point of the day which is of course this comment :) and will be moving on to posting on linked in in order to get easier steps out of the way. Today I hope to get the easier tasks in and finish with the harder task👍

This was ONE of the very weird calls I’ve had with people looking to sell their business. I’d love to hear your tales. I know for a fact there will be some funny 💩! Shall we make this a weekly thing? Haha!

First of all, hi everyone. Nice to meet you! Like most business buyers, I can never have too much deal flow. In fact, I always need more. Having an entrepreneurial mindset (in other words, I get bored easily), I need systems and ways of creating 'habits' so thought I'd give this 7 day accelerator a go. Here's to day 1 of 7!
