Inside how acquisitions get funded today (Free Seminar)
I’m putting together a free Dealmaker Training for business owners, investors and operators who want to understand how acquisitions are actually structured and funded in today’s market. It’s not theory — I’ll be covering how leveraged buyouts really work in the lower mid market, how deals get financed with little or no equity, and the frameworks we use at OPC Capital Partners across 100+ transactions. I’m opening it to a small group first via a waitlist. Everyone joining now also gets a free copy of my book on leveraged buyouts (LBOs) ahead of the training going live in a few weeks. If it sounds useful, you can join here: https://paulseabridge.online/free-dealmaker-training No hard sell — just practical M&A training for people who want to become more active on the buy side.

Hi everyone.
I'm Doug Stuart, a UK-based businessman, and I'm pleased to be part of the Buy, Build, Sell community. I'm interested in connecting with like-minded people who share an interest in buying, building and growing businesses. I've joined to learn from others who are already active in acquisitions, share experiences and explore how deals are sourced, evaluated, structured and funded. I'm particularly interested in understanding how to find the right opportunities, negotiate with business owners and put together deals that make commercial sense. I believe there's a lot we can learn from each other's experiences, successes and even mistakes along the way. Looking forward to getting involved in the discussions, connecting with fellow members and hopefully building some valuable relationships, Great to be here.
The mistake I had to overcome when learning to evaluate business acquisitions.
When I first started exploring business acquisitions, I found myself focusing too much on how attractive a business looked rather than what was happening behind the numbers. A business could have impressive revenue, a good reputation and plenty of growth potential, but that didn't necessarily make it a good acquisition. I had to learn to look beyond the asking price and pay closer attention to sustainable profits, cash flow, customer concentration and how dependent the business was on its current owner. That shift in thinking made a huge difference. I realized that finding a business to buy is one thing; understanding whether it's actually worth buying is another. For anyone just getting started in acquisitions, my advice is simple: don't let the excitement of finding a deal rush your decision-making. I'm curious: what's been the biggest challenge for you as a beginner in business acquisitions — finding suitable businesses, understanding valuations, or figuring out how to fund a deal.
