For businesses built to scale and eventually attract strategic buyers, your website isn’t a brochure. It’s an asset. The single most important goal of any business website is to convert the right visitors into qualified opportunities, whether that’s leads, booked calls, partnerships or acquisition interest. Everything else (design, traffic, content) is secondary. For operators focused on building 8–9 figure companies through M&A, a strong website does three things well: - Clearly communicates what problem you solve and for whom - Builds instant credibility (systems, results, positioning) - Guides visitors toward one clear next action A well optimized website increases deal flow, strengthens valuation and reduces buyer friction during diligence. A weak one does the opposite. So here’s the real question for this community: If a serious buyer or strategic partner landed on your website today, would it increase or decrease their confidence in acquiring your business?

I’ve just dropped a new YouTube video that lays out what I believe is one of the biggest opportunities most people completely overlook: Buying existing businesses instead of starting from scratch. Millions of business owners are reaching retirement with: – No succession plan – No family buyers – No internal management buyout – No interest from private equity So good, profitable businesses are being shut down every day simply because there’s no one to take them over. In the video I walk through: • Why this creates a massive acquisition opportunity • How I personally shifted from building to buying • The role mentors played in my first deals • Why positioning and credibility matter more than money early on This is the foundation of everything we talk about in this community:thinking like owners, investors and dealmakers — not just operators. Watch the video, then drop in the comments:What part of the acquisition journey are you most curious about right now — finding deals, financing, structuring, or approaching sellers?

New year, new intentions — and ideally, new acquisitions. Before things get busy again, I’d love everyone to take a moment to share what 2026 looks like for you from an M&A perspective. Comment, feel free to talk about things like: - Whether you’re looking to acquire this year (or just preparing to) - The sectors or types of businesses you’re most interested in - What part of the M&A process you want to get significantly better at in 2026 - If raising capital is part of your plan - And, at a high level, what you’re willing to commit in terms of time and/or capital to make it happen No pressure to be overly polished, this is about clarity, not perfection. The more openly you share, the more value you’ll get from the conversations, insights, and connections inside the community. Looking forward to reading everyone’s goals. Let’s make 2026 a year of serious progress and closed deals 🚀

Most business owners we approach aren’t ready to sell, and that’s completely normal. But something interesting has happened over the past year… Many of those same owners later came back to us not to sell to us but to get structured sell-side support to maximise their valuation and create a competitive buyer environment. So we formalised a Sell-Side Advisory Program designed for founders who want to: ✔ Control the process ✔ Position their business for a premium valuation ✔ Attract strategic (not just financial) buyers ✔ Create competition to drive offers up ✔ Achieve a strategic exit — not a transactional one And we’ve backed it with a performance guarantee: 👉 5 qualified offers within 12 months — or we continue working free. Recent outcomes: Construction firm — 5 offers, 28% above broker appraisal Marketing agency — 5 offers in 10 weeks, sold to UK PE Engineering services — exit in 8 months, 80% cash at completion If you’re thinking about valuation, timing, or positioning even 12–24 months out — I’m happy to share a snapshot of how the process works. Just comment “Checklist” and I’ll send you the 10-point Exit Readiness Checklist. 📘 My book “Built to Sell Well” covers how to prepare early so you exit on your terms: https://mybook.to/builttosellwell

Most entrepreneurs aiming for 8–9 figures underestimate leverage. Mergers & Acquisitions isn’t just buying companies, it’s about acquiring systems, talent, and revenue streams that accelerate growth faster than organic scaling. The key isn’t finding any business to buy, it’s finding the right business that complements your existing operations, fills gaps, and amplifies your strengths. Too many wait until they “have enough capital” to start acquiring, but the real edge comes from strategic alignment and creative financing. Even small acquisitions, done correctly, can compound and unlock growth exponentially. Tip: Map your acquisition targets by synergy potential, culture fit, and operational efficiency, not just revenue numbers. That’s how multi-figure growth becomes repeatable.
