People focus too much on buying a company with the right business model – Recurring revenue – Recession resistant – Fragmented industry – Sticky customers – Etc But buying the right business is entirely unique to the individual. Not enough emphasis is placed on finding a…

In my experience, this wouldn't work. Trying to be too clever never really works. It's always better to keep things simple. The sellers are not fully in control of the EBITDA in the CIM and will be guided by the broker/advisor. They also often don’t fully understand proper…

You also hardly make anything without leverage… People think investing in property is the thing to do because it’s the most widely understood form of investing. The most common. But the returns generally suck compared to stocks, ETFs, or a more balanced listed portfolio etc.…

#1 thing PE buyers want in a direct investment: a backable management team. If they don’t trust the team left behind, there must be a clear route to one. Some gaps are easier: CFOs / FDs can be replaced. Sales leaders with deep customer ties? Much harder. Clean financials…

The UK government doesn't appreciate that the constant dithering on tax changes inevitably stalls the economy. Every couple of months, a new proposed change is leaked... and everyone pauses spending, investing, buying. Waiting so they don't get caught out. Perfect example: I…
I’d much prefer heavy equipment rental to selling big pieces of kit! Answers to these kind of questions always a bit nuanced. So, it depends… - on who is in place at the moment - whether you’re predominately looking at PE or a sale to a strategic - and what specific growth…

IMO, it depends on how quickly your business is growing. If you’re growing fast, a bookkeeper won’t cut it for long. Always skip the CFO – at startup stage, it’s just title inflation. People wanting to be seen to hire a CFO because they think it sounds better. But don’t skimp.…

“Some days you feel like a genius, other days like a complete idiot.” Like the words were taken out of my mouth… I remember being in meetings with sellers early on. You could see our message resonating, and we were clicking with them far more than I’d seen generic PE firms in…

People think you get ahead by replying to every email in 30 mins. Not true. The best don’t answer every message fast. That's just a waste of time and energy. They just spot the important ones instantly. We were introduced to a former FTSE100 CEO for a founder reference. Now…
Benchmark International is the only M&A broker that can be told in writing we only look at recruitment opportunities… and still send me everything under the sun. I even have a Superhuman snippet that tells them that and attaches our advisor pack. Zero impact so far.
Why do we invest in agencies? The typical view in private equity is that investing in an agency is hard work. It's a high-risk investment, and many funds steer clear altogether. They aren't wrong. The model is inherently cyclical – boom and bust, feast and then famine. You're…
This morning, someone asked how I’d invest in an early-stage agency. It’s something we’ve done before – and we’ve just signed another deal to launch in November. It's harder than most investors think. Here's the model we used to go from launch to £1m net profit in four…
