KEY TAKEAWAYS
Business owners in the twilight of their business life, may well be looking at the post-COVID world, and wondering whether they have the energy to pivot effectively. This makes it a wonderful time to be in the market for acquisitions.
A great place to get started when thinking about expanding is to contact your professional network (lawyers, accountants etc), who may already be in contact with companies open to merger.
There is bound to be an initial period of frenzied activity when businesses jumpstart back into life, but this will be followed by a lull, and that is when opportunities will be at their greatest.
A loss of enthusiasm or energy for your business may not be a signal that you need to sell, but that you need to hand off operations to someone who does have the necessary energy levels.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You don’t want everyone’s biggest dream to become their worst nightmare’ 

‘If you’re looking to buy a business, assume that you’ll have to have some kind of active role in it’ 

‘I don’t want to try and catch a falling knife’ 

‘You’ve expanded exponentially your ability to exit the business'
