Winning a £6,000 court case sounds like a victory on paper, but behind it sits months of stress, preparation, and navigating a legal system that can feel overwhelming when you’re running a business at the same time. In this episode of Cleaning Chronicles, I break down the reality of fighting disputes as a business owner, the messy tribunal process, and what actually happens when you decide to stand your ground instead of settling just to make the problem go away.I also talk openly about the moments where business can feel uncertain and isolating, especially when challenges stack up all at once. From legal battles to operational pressures, this episode is about the lessons, mindset shifts, and practical takeaways that come from pushing through difficult situations while continuing to build and scale a business.

We chat about Nathan Winch's path to achieving seven-figure operational profit, which began with a university-era NHS supply chain venture that secured a large contract, eventually leading to their first profitable exit, which cemented the focus on selling businesses over long-term operations. Nathan Winch transitioned to Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) for accelerated scaling, focusing on business turnarounds for Winch and Co., emphasising that M&A requires significant financial skill and carries higher risk but is the most efficient method for experienced owners to achieve ambitious growth targets. The discussion concluded by covering the risks and personal liability in M&A, the importance of strong relationships in leadership for employee retention, frustrations with high UK taxation, and Nathan Winch's measured, wealth-preservation approach to risk management and business growth.Book in your paid consultation call with me via Instagram.
