Most business deals don’t start in a boardroom.
They start with a cup of coffee.
This morning on my daily show I talked about how deals actually begin when you're looking to buy a business.
People often think acquisitions start with lawyers, accountants, and formal negotiations.
But the reality is very different.
Many deals start with a simple conversation.
Years ago, when I bought one of my businesses, the entire deal started with a cup of coffee and an offer of €100,000.
To be honest, it was a mad, stupid offer.
But it did one very important thing.
It started the conversation.
That conversation eventually turned into a €5 million deal.
The lesson?
You don’t need the perfect offer.
You don’t need the perfect timing.
You just need the courage to start the conversation.
If you're thinking about buying a business or doing deals, remember:
Many opportunities begin with something simple…
A coffee and a conversation.
