In this episode, Jonathan Jay interviews Aled Davies, who runs a clothing and textiles printing business. Aled shares his journey of seeking organic growth for his family business, facing challenges such as a fire and the pandemic. Inspired by the podcast, Aled explores the acquisition route and becomes one of Jonathan's clients. He shares how he completed his first acquisition of a smaller business and seamlessly integrated it into his existing company, leveraging the acquired website, customer base, and sales opportunities. He also shares some of the tips he has acquired along the way. Key Highlights [00:45] About Aled Davies [01:21] How Aled got into business [04:16] How the Podcast motivated Aled [05:00] Lessons learned after joining the fast-track program [06:09] How Aled handled his first call [08:09] How the negotiations for the deal went through [15:05] The kind of due diligence one can do when buying a digital marketing company [19:11] Tips learned by Aled along the way Notable Quotes I had feedback and stopped because I didn't add for whatever you guys didn't fully commit to. But once you fully commit to it, there's no reason why if a deal doesn't feel right or it doesn't look, it will not be right for you. You can always walk away if you don't want to do it anyway. Get started and give it a go. But you never know what's going to come upon it. Resources Buying a business is only the start, which is why we are now teaching what happens next on the Mastermind program. Now, if you've already bought a business, you should be part of my Inner Circle group where we discuss raising capital, integration management, and exiting.

The Bible: A Dangerous Book?

Earlier this year in Utah, a western state of the USA, the King James Bible was banned in Elementary and Junior School Libraries in the Davies County school district. The ban was due to what one parent dubbed the ‘violent and vulgar' content in the Bible. The prohibition caused an uproar, drawing global attention, and the ban was subsequently reversed. Two journalists who closely covered the story, Courtney Tanner from the Salt Lake Tribune and Sam Metz from the Associated Press, offer insight into into the story and its wider significance. Jonathan Thomas explores whether content in the Bible is too 'violent and vulgar' to be shared with children. Steffen Jenkins, Lecturer in Greek, Old Testament and Biblical Studies at the Union School of Theology in Bridgend and Aled Davies, director for the Welsh Sunday Schools Council, explain how they handle the difficult aspects. Methodist minister Jonathan Miller explains how many of the children he works with relish the more gruesome biblical stories. Helen Jackson home educates four boys and shares the daily practicalities of handling the more challenging parts of the Bible. She's a former secondary art and design teacher and currently writes a blog, 'Imperfectly Natural Mama' documenting their journey as a Christian home educating family. What is the relevance of this censorship debate to the UK? In recent years books including those by Roald Dahl have undergone 'sensitivity editing' to remove offensive language. Some have called this censorship and Dr Philip Kiszely, lecturer in performance and cultural histories at the University of Leeds, and Katherine Bennett, journalist for the Catholic Herald, discusses the issues.

Welcome to the last Business Buying Strategies episode of 2022.  This week we've picked out twelve highlights from the year - one for each month.   So in January, I talked with Richard Bundock, one of my dealmaking clients. Richard had started a successful business, but wasn't able to grow it organically as quickly as wanted to, so he turned to acquisitions instead.  In February, I met Sam Turner, who gave up a lucrative and successful corporate career to become a dealmaker in the heating and ventilation sector.  In March, I caught up with Nick Manuel, who graduated from my programme with the right attitude, determination and most importantly the right strategy to make successful acquisitions.  In April, we met Peter Lidgitt, who bought nine UK businesses in 2020, totalling £20m in revenue – all whilst being locked down for most of the year at his home in France.  In May, I talked with legendary jewellery entrepreneur Gerald Ratner who grew his global business almost entirely through acquisition.  In June, we met  John Richardson, whose expertise is in acquiring coffee retail businesses, and establishing a chain a coffee shops.  In July, I spoke with Graeme Carling, who spent a decade building a substantial property portfolio, before buying a well known Scottish construction company out of administration. In August, we met Aled Davies, who runs a printing and textile printing family business. Aled had been trying to grow this business organically - but having listened to this podcast, and joining me on the Fasttrack Program, has now made his first acquisition. In September, I was joined by Phil Hunt, one of my private clients. Although Phil has a full-time job as an HR director of a city bank in London, this hasn't stopped him from making his first two acquisitions. In October, Jo Bell joined us to talk about her first five business acquisitions and the lessons that she has learnt along the way.  In November, I met James Gardner, for whom a chance meeting led to the acquisition of a funeral care business, and has now become a group through acquisition.  Finally, earlier in December, I caught up with Andy Doyle, who joined my very first business acquisition mastermind program nearly five years ago, back in 2018. Five years on and he has made several acquisitions, and has ambitious plans for the years ahead.  If you would like to take the next step to learn the best ways of buying a business, without risking your own cash, you can access my free training at www.dealmakersvideo.co.uk and you can also request a free copy of my book athttps://www.thedealmakersacademy.com/free-book-giveaway/ If you want to jump straight to my live Zoom FastTrack course please go tohttps://www.thedealmakersacademy.com/fast  Resources If you are looking for a lawyer in the UK to help you get the deal over the line, then use my guy John Andrews.

Moving beyond the mindset of organic growth In this episode, I am joined by Aled Davies, who runs a printing and textile printing family business. Aled had been trying to grow this business organically before listening to this podcast and joining me on one of my business acquisitions, Fasttrack Programs, in 2020. Through this program, Aled got a whole new perspective on growing his business and has since made his first acquisition. In this episode, Aled shares how he came about and how he got to make his first acquisition. He also shares some words of wisdom with those interested in buying their own business. Key Highlights [01:03] About Aled Davies [04:15] Motivation towards buying his own business [05:18] When you heard other people do what you wanted to do, did that motivate you? [06:09] Likable moments in the Fasttrack program [07:34] How did you go about your first call with the business owner of the business you eventually bought? [08:39] Would you have grown your business by 10-15% in the next 12 months? [09:25] The negotiation process [12:56] Were you interested in his website traffic, inquiries, and existing customer list? [17:20] Signifier of the worth of a business [18:33] Business acquisition principles used [20:32] Plans for the future [21:56] Tips to listeners Notable Quotes It was surprisingly easy to do when you have started to get some idea of what you are doing. If a deal doesn't feel right or doesn't look like it's going to be the right one for you, you can always walk away if you don't want to do it anyway. The first step is to get started and give it a go because you never know what will come out of it. All we did was make a few phone calls, went to see the guy, agreed on everything, and that was it. It was as simple as that. Resources If you are looking for a lawyer in the UK to help you get the deal over the line, then use my guy John Andrews.

In the decades following the end of the Second World War, the British economy evolved from a manufacturing-based economy to one driven by service industries, most notably finance. As Aled Davies explains in his book The City of London and Social Democracy: The Political Economy of Finance in Post-war Britain (Oxford University Press, 2017), this shift posed a challenge to the prevailing concept of social democracy in Britain, one to which politicians, particularly those on the left, struggled to respond. With British industry facing growing competition abroad, successive governments in the 1960s and 1970s sought investment capital in order to maintain that sector’s viability. Efforts were made to encourage institutional investors such as pension and insurance funds to devote more of their industrial investment to long-term development rather than short-term profit, while many on the left of the Labour Party in the 1970s advocated nationalizing the banks as a means of channeling resources into the sector. Such proposals, however, were countered with calls to liberalize and deregulate the financial sector, many of which were advanced by trade associations and other bodies within the financial sector whose growing influence reflected the increasing importance of the City both as a part of the economy and within national politics. Their success in resisting intervention, Davies concludes, presaged the market-driven approach pursued by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government after 1979, one which continues to define British policy down to the present day.

In the decades following the end of the Second World War, the British economy evolved from a manufacturing-based economy to one driven by service industries, most notably finance. As Aled Davies explains in his book The City of London and Social Democracy: The Political Economy of Finance in Post-war Britain (Oxford University Press, 2017), this shift posed a challenge to the prevailing concept of social democracy in Britain, one to which politicians, particularly those on the left, struggled to respond. With British industry facing growing competition abroad, successive governments in the 1960s and 1970s sought investment capital in order to maintain that sector’s viability. Efforts were made to encourage institutional investors such as pension and insurance funds to devote more of their industrial investment to long-term development rather than short-term profit, while many on the left of the Labour Party in the 1970s advocated nationalizing the banks as a means of channeling resources into the sector. Such proposals, however, were countered with calls to liberalize and deregulate the financial sector, many of which were advanced by trade associations and other bodies within the financial sector whose growing influence reflected the increasing importance of the City both as a part of the economy and within national politics. Their success in resisting intervention, Davies concludes, presaged the market-driven approach pursued by Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government after 1979, one which continues to define British policy down to the present day.
