I’m pleased I had 2 failed deals before completing the Manchester one. Here’s why: - Revenue was too low, hard to create significant value - Neither were linked to my background, lots to learn (slower onboarding!) - Owners only cared about money, makes you wonder what you’ll inherit - Small operations, I’d have got bored or impatient pretty quickly With 80% of small businesses never selling, acquiring these would almost certainly mean buying something you’d struggle to sell in the future. Didn’t feel like it at the time, but these were very important near misses. If you’re thinking of acquiring, don’t back yourself into a corner for the sake of “deal flow.” Anyone else care to share experiences or near misses we can all learn from? #buyabusiness #acquisitions #expensivemistakes #lessonslearned

Acquiring a company requires a huge time investment. It takes months of talking to the seller, talking to the lender, building a rapport, and dealing with the broker. After two or three months, you may feel like you just want to get the deal done. But at this point, you should take a step back and really look at the deal closely. It’s easy at this point to let something slide just to close the deal. It becomes hard to remain objective and see the red flags. Ask yourself if the deal is really worth it. Acquiring a company should never be a gamble. It’s an investment. If, after all of your due diligence and investigation, it feels like you’re gambling, it’s definitely time to reassess why you want to acquire this business. Never approach a deal thinking “Well, if I’m going to lose, then I lose. But if I win, then I’ll win big.” These deals aren’t just about you. These companies can have 10 or 20 employees who have to feed their families. If you don’t think you’re the best steward of those 20 employees, then you shouldn’t be acquiring it. At any point in the process, you should feel empowered to walk away from the deal. Don’t make it about pride or ego. Make sure it’s for the right reason.

👋 Looking to buy a business? The search can be tough. Negotiating with brokers can be tougher. They may make demands on you, the buyer. And request concessions on threat of rejection. But just remember: You are free to push back. Everyone wants the same thing: Seller wants to sell; you want to acquire. Buyers, you are not powerless. You can and should avail yourself of justified protections, like forgivable seller notes if the business fails to meet post-acquisition targets. The brokers are just doing their jobs. As M&A lawyers focused on the ETA market, so are we, and we’re here to help. #ETA #SMB #entrepreneurship #acquisitions
