Using AI to deal source in 2026.
Yesterday, our team demonstrated our deal-sourcing solution to an established M&A firm — and they were genuinely impressed. This is a true end-to-end system that: - Identifies qualified acquisition targets - Sets up and manages the outbound platform - Writes personalised outreach copy - Sends outbound messages - Responds to every prospect who signals interest - Books calls directly into your calendar For the M&A firm, this means: - Significant savings on manual outreach - Major reductions in research time - Lower staff costs - More conversations with highly qualified leads - More time focused on closing deals This solution also works for most other B2B service businesses. The client booked 45 calls on autopilot within just 29 days. If you want to transform your lead and sales process for 2026, increase profitability, and drive more revenue, get in touch.

Seeking Advice on Determining Cash to remain in business for a Seasonal Business Acquisition
Hello everyone, I would appreciate your insights on a specific point in my current negotiations. I am in the process of acquiring a distribution business in the mountain sports sector, which has predictably high seasonality. The planned handover date is in March, which marks the beginning of the off-season. My key concern is determining the appropriate amount of cash (or net working capital) that should remain in the business at closing to ensure smooth operations through the low season until revenues pick up again. I want to do something simple, so my initial thought was to simply use the historical monthly bank balance as a proxy to identify the annual low point in the cash cycle. Or should I only consider the working capital requirement, eventually just calculated on the off season? It might trigger a price adjustment and I was trying to avoid that, but maybe there s no way around.... Has anyone dealt with a similar situation in acquiring a seasonal business? What methodologies or benchmarks did you find effective in defining the right "cash on hand" requirement? Thank you in advance for your input. Best regards,Philippe

The Illusion of the ‘Perfect Time’ to Sell
A lot of founders wait for: - The perfect quarter - The perfect valuation - The perfect buyer - The perfect market - The perfect team structure But here’s the truth: 📌 There is no perfect time — only prepared founders and unprepared ones. The businesses that exit for premium multiples have one thing in common: ➡️ They start preparing 12–24 months before they intend to sell. This allows us to: ✔ Strengthen recurring revenue ✔ Restructure financials ✔ Clean up customer concentration ✔ Position the company for strategic buyers ✔ Build a competitive market of interest That’s when you see outcomes like: 💥 28% above broker appraisal 💥 Multiple offers within weeks 💥 80% cash up front 💥 Strategic buyers instead of “whoever is looking” If you want to understand what your exit could look like, comment “yes” and I’ll send you the questions we use to assess valuation + exit options.

Most business owners we approach aren’t ready to sell, and that’s completely normal.
Most business owners we approach aren’t ready to sell, and that’s completely normal. But something interesting has happened over the past year… Many of those same owners later came back to us not to sell to us but to get structured sell-side support to maximise their valuation and create a competitive buyer environment. So we formalised a Sell-Side Advisory Program designed for founders who want to: ✔ Control the process ✔ Position their business for a premium valuation ✔ Attract strategic (not just financial) buyers ✔ Create competition to drive offers up ✔ Achieve a strategic exit — not a transactional one And we’ve backed it with a performance guarantee: 👉 5 qualified offers within 12 months — or we continue working free. Recent outcomes: Construction firm — 5 offers, 28% above broker appraisal Marketing agency — 5 offers in 10 weeks, sold to UK PE Engineering services — exit in 8 months, 80% cash at completion If you’re thinking about valuation, timing, or positioning even 12–24 months out — I’m happy to share a snapshot of how the process works. Just comment “Checklist” and I’ll send you the 10-point Exit Readiness Checklist. 📘 My book “Built to Sell Well” covers how to prepare early so you exit on your terms: https://mybook.to/builttosellwell
