What Kind of Business Should I Buy? If you're thinking about buying a business, this is the question that determines everything. Not how to fund it. Not how to structure it. Not even how to find it. But what kind of business should you buy? In this week's episode, Jonathan Jay answers the foundational question every serious dealmaker must get right and explains why choosing the wrong business is the fastest way to sabotage your future success . Start With the End in Mind Jonathan opens with a principle borrowed from Stephen Covey: Begin with the end in mind. Before you even look at sectors or valuations, you need clarity on your outcome. Are you: Escaping corporate life? Growing your existing business? Building a group to sell for seven or eight figures? Each goal demands a completely different acquisition strategy. If you want to replace your salary, Jonathan challenges you to aim higher than feels comfortable. If you want to scale your current company, acquisition is the fastest way to move the needle. If you want generational wealth, buy-and-build might be your path. But the type of business you buy must match the outcome you want. Why Most First-Time Buyers Aim Too Low One of the most controversial sections of this episode? Size. Jonathan argues that most first-time buyers go too small — and pay the price. Businesses making under £100,000 net profit often: Depend too heavily on the owner Lack proper management accounts Have fragile teams Leave no room for post-acquisition wobble Instead, he shares what he looks for: At least £1m revenue At least £200k net profit Stable margins (15–25%+) Strong management in place Recurring or repeat revenue The effort required to buy a £200k profit business is not ten times harder than buying a £20k one. But the impact on your life absolutely is. The Three Core Acquisition Paths Jonathan breaks down three common strategies: Escape the Day Job: Buy a business that produces serious income — ideally 10x your salary. Grow an Existing Business: Acquire competitors, suppliers, complementary businesses, or geographic expansions. Buy-and-Build: Acquire smaller businesses at lower multiples, combine them, and sell the larger group at a higher multiple. He explains: What fragmented markets are Why M&A activity above you matters How multiple arbitrage works Why strong management becomes critical at scale And importantly — why one deal can change your life. The Worst Types of Businesses to Buy Jonathan doesn't hold back here. Avoid: Owner-dependent businesses Fad businesses Highly volatile or "spiky" profit businesses Overleveraged acquisitions Companies reliant on family members Businesses where relationships walk out the door with the seller He also explains why buying too small can mean buying yourself a job. And that's not what this is about. Funding, Risk and Structure This episode also covers: Why over-leveraging kills deals Why working capital matters more than most buyers realise Why your first deal is the most important Why corporate structure must be set up properly Why personal guarantees should be limited and contained Jonathan's position is clear: Deal number one sets the foundation for everything that follows. Get it right, and you build momentum. Get it wrong, and you may never do deal two. The Big Takeaway Buying a business isn't just about buying something. It's about buying the right thing. With: The right margins The right management The right structure The right funding And the right strategic fit for your long-term goal Clarity at the beginning prevents regret later. Listen Now If you're serious about buying a business in 2026 — or even just thinking about it — this episode gives you the strategic filter you need before you start looking at opportunities. Listen now and make sure your first deal is the right one. If you're serious about buying a business – and avoiding the mistakes Jonathan outlines – book a free Clarity Call with one of his team:

Fad workouts have been with us for decades, but they go back much further than we realize. Long before CrossFit, Zumba, P90X, Tae Box, Jazzercise or Jack LaLanne, we had 19th century strongmen. These mustachioed showmen were the first global fitness influencers. They hauled trunks of weights onto steamships, toured the world, then sold exercise equipment through the mail. The most famous was Eugene Sandow, who broke chains, and created with his own body a "manned cavalry bridge" where he would lie down while men, horses, and a carriage were driven over his body. He even fought a lion in front of an auditorium and won, although the lion was almost definitely sedated. Today’s guest is Connor Heffernan, author of “When Fitness Went Global: The Rise of Physical Culture in the Nineteenth Century.” In this episode, we discuss: Ancient Egyptians were basically doing CrossFit thousands of years ago. They trained with swinging sandbags that look exactly like modern kettlebell flows. One of the first exercise practices to experience globalization was Indian club-swinging. Indian club-swinging, originating from the heavy training clubs used by Indian wrestlers and soldiers for centuries, was observed and adopted by British military officers stationed in India during the early 1800s. Early diet culture was a carnival of quack science. Victorian fitness magazines were filled with miracle tonics, starvation cures and pseudoscientific meal plans. Many of our “new” diet trends are rebranded versions of schemes first marketed with sepia portraits and dubious testimonials. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Voilà 100 jours que Sidi Ould Tah a pris la tête de la Banque africaine de développement (BAD). Et, le banquier mauritanien affiche déjà une action positive pour ses trois premiers mois : la levée mardi 16 décembre de 11 milliards de dollars pour le Fonds africain de développement. Une hausse de 23 % par rapport à la précédente session des donateurs. Et, ce, malgré la baisse drastique des enveloppes d'aide au développement cette année. Le président de la BAD explique ses ambitions pour l'Afrique dans un environnement financier en recomposition. Il répond à Sidy Yansané RFI : M. le président Sidi Ould Tah, vous êtes à Londres pour la réunion des donateurs du Fonds africain de développement, le FAD, qui est, pour le dire simplement, une cagnotte réservée au financement de projets dans les pays africains les plus pauvres. Et cette semaine, le FAD a recueilli 11 milliards de dollars. Un montant que vous qualifiez d'historique. Sidi Ould Tah : Absolument ! Nous sommes pour l'élan de solidarité historique que nous venons de connaître, qui devrait nous permettre, au cours des trois prochaines années, de mieux répondre aux attentes des populations africaines, en particulier les 37 pays les plus fragiles et les moins dotés de l'Afrique. Du coup, cette année, qui sont les principaux contributeurs ? Malgré le contexte international que nous connaissons tous et qui se caractérise par des pressions fiscales importantes et aussi des pressions sur les ressources, les partenaires du FAD et les pays africains ont décidé ensemble d'augmenter leur enveloppe dans cette 17ᵉ reconstitution du Fonds. C'est un message très fort de solidarité avec l'Afrique et pour l'Afrique. Et aussi un message très fort des Africains pour la prise en charge de leur propre développement. Justement, vous vous félicitez de l'engagement de l'Afrique dans son propre fonds. 23 pays du continent qui ont contribué à près de 183 millions de dollars. Une véritable transformation, vous dites. Mais finalement, 183 millions sur un total de 11 milliards, cette transformation que vous vantez est-elle bien réelle ? Ce qu'il faut regarder au-delà des chiffres, c'est le geste lui-même. Je crois que c'est la dynamique qui commence et ça montre quand même un engagement très fort de la part des pays africains. Si on rapporte ce montant au PIB des pays africains contributeurs, on se rend compte quand même que l'effort est considérable. Mais ce qu'il faut aussi regarder, c'est la volonté commune des deux parties d'aller au-delà de l'aide publique au développement pour aller vers l'investissement, vers le partenariat économique, tout en prenant compte de l'intérêt de nos pays donateurs. Parlons de ces partenaires. Avant de prendre les rênes de la BAD, vous teniez pendant dix ans ceux de la BADEA, la Banque arabe pour le développement économique en Afrique, notamment financée par les pays du Golfe que vous connaissez bien. C'est cette « nouvelle génération de collaborateurs à grande échelle », comme vous le dites, que vous comptez développer ? Il ne s'agit pas d'individualiser des partenaires contre d'autres. Ce qu'il faut voir, c'est l'ensemble des partenaires de l'Afrique. Le continent a toujours reçu un appui constant de la part de ses partenaires historiques, et cet appui continue et se renforce. L'arrivée d'autres partenaires ne fait que renforcer ce partenariat, et ne diminue en rien le partenariat existant. Nous avons consacrée tout une journée au secteur privé avec un certain nombre d'acteurs financiers. Nous sommes à Londres qui est une place financière internationale. Dans ce cadre, le FAD pourrait jouer un rôle important dans l'atténuation du risque perçu dès qu'il s'agit du continent africain, de quoi rassurer les investisseurs et permettre le développement des projets transformateurs dans les différents pays africains. Revenons sur la Banque arabe pour le développement économique en Afrique, qui s'engage à donner jusqu'à 800 millions de dollars pour le développement en Afrique. Engagement similaire de l'OPEP à hauteur de 2 milliards de dollars. Ce sont les sommes annoncées par la BAD que vous présidez. N'y a-t-il pas là une alternative aux contributeurs habituels ? Vous savez, les besoins de l'Afrique sont immenses. Annuellement, on estime ces besoins de financement et de développement à 400 milliards de dollars. Donc, toutes les contributions sont les bienvenues. Toutes les participations sont nécessaires, que ce soit à travers la mobilisation du secteur privé, qui doit aussi jouer un rôle important dans la mise en œuvre des projets d'infrastructures, la transformation des matières premières, le secteur de l'énergie, des transports, les ports, les aéroports, les chemins de fer, mais aussi dans le domaine digital. En novembre, vous étiez présent au G20 organisé en Afrique du Sud et boycottée par Washington. Comment comptez-vous composer avec la nouvelle politique américaine des deals pour paraphraser le président Donald Trump, notamment sur les matières premières ? Les Etats-Unis ont toujours soutenu la BAD et continuent à la soutenir. Et nous travaillons en étroite collaboration avec nos actionnaires dans l'intérêt du continent africain. Le rôle de la Banque est un rôle de financement du développement et de mobilisation des ressources pour le continent africain, et nous continuerons à le faire, y compris avec le secteur privé américain comme la DFC, comme US Bank. C'est les projets qui vont contribuer à l'amélioration du bien-être des populations africaines.

Welcome to the last Q&A session of 2025. In this show we cover selling properties to invest in pensions instead, starting to invest for the first time, UFPLS vs FAD and SO MUCH MORE! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA36 02:05 Question 1 Big thanks to Pete and Roger for all the excellent advice. This question is for some of the 2.8 million UK landlords. Even those with just one property in their own name—not through a limited company—are increasingly affected by fiscal drag. Looking ahead, I plan to sell down much of my property portfolio in later life (because who wants to be a landlord at 70?). Plus, mortgage finance becomes trickier in your 70s. That said, even if I retain one or two of the best properties, the rental income alone may push me into the higher-rate tax bracket. I'm 49 and don't currently have a SIPP, but I can invest up to the £60k annual allowance via my limited company. Would it make sense to start building a modest pension over the next 10 years as a risk mitigation strategy? If so, how should I think about the opportunity cost? I'd save 25% corporation tax going in, but pay higher-rate income tax on the way out (less the 25% tax-free lump sum)—so is the net tax cost around 5%? Or am I overlooking other factors, like the benefit of CGT and income tax exemptions on growth within the pension? Appreciate your thoughts—and keep up the great work. Regards, Cameron. 07:29 Question 2 Hi Pete, Roger and Nick, I've recently discovered your YouTube channel and podcast, and it's been a real eye-opener - thanks so much for all the great content! I'm 45 and currently have £74,000 in a Fidelity SIPP, but it's all sitting in cash. I know that's far from ideal, especially with 15–20 years until I plan to retire. I also realise it's a relatively modest pot for my age, and it's not earning anything while it just sits there. How would you typically advise someone in my situation to begin investing some or all of that cash? I'm keen to make up for lost time but want to do so wisely. Thanks again, and keep up the brilliant work! Joanne 15:15 Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Firstly thanks so much for all your hard work - I devour your podcasts, videos & books - so much hard work on your behalf & I hope you realise how appreciated they are. I am just at the stage of life where in the next few years I need to start thinking about drawing money out of mine & my husband's pensions and I am considering the most tax efficient way of doing this. I have been reading all about UFPLS and FAD. As background, it is unlikely that either my husband or I will ever have much Personal Allowance unused in the years up to receiving our State Pensions due to rental income we receive; it is also unlikely that either of us will ever become higher rate taxpayers. I also understand that to get the most out of ones PCLS it is best to only crystallise the funds actually needed from an uncrystallised pension so the rest of the pot can hopefully grow and therefore the 25% tax free sum also grows. So, my question is, what am I missing, in what situations would it be more beneficial to take an UFPLS payment v making a partial crystallisation into a FAD pot (I am with ii who offer this). I feel like an UFPLS payment would give me 25% tax free and 75% taxed right away, whilst a FAD would give me the same 25% tax free and 75% could be taken straight away or drawn down over time as desired and could also be left invested to hopefully grow? Thanks so much, Tracy 21:12 Question 4 Hi Pete and Roger, thanks for hosting such a great podcast! I've recently been searching for a new job and was lucky enough to receive an offer with some interesting compensation features that I thought I would ask your opinions on. I actually turned down this role in favour of something else, but wanted to ask nonetheless as the offer came with an interesting feature that I have not come across before. Firstly, and probably most straightforward to answer – The salary on offer was £50,500 per year, which seems a weird figure – suspiciously only slightly above the threshold to tip me into the higher tax bracket, which got me thinking – are there any benefits (to the employer or employee) of being only just into the next tax bracket up? Why not £50k, or £51k? Secondly, in addition to a very generous DC pension scheme (they would pay in 12% if I pay in 5%) they offer a "Savings Scheme" whereby 5% of my salary would be deducted (and paid into this scheme) each month and at the end of 12 months the company would then top up these savings with another 5% of my annual salary – (actually 6% to "account for the extra tax"). My real question is this – what are these "savings schemes" in a nutshell, and are there any benefits of them over trying to negotiate for increased employer pension contributions instead? Interested to hear your thoughts on these. Thanks so much! Jamie 29:09 Question 5 Hello Pete and Roger I've recently found your podcast and wanted to say thanks for all the insight you are providing. Not only do you make a fairly dull subject tolerable, you even manage to make it reasonably enjoyable

The time of year has now arrived when everyone is setting ambitious goals that they will likely not accomplish. At the beginning of the New Year, it seems the entire world takes this as an opportunity to envision the person they want to become, and set goals to get closer to that ideal. Fad diets, workout routines, savings goals, often it's the same thing every year. New Year's resolutions often fail, but why is that? More importantly, as followers of Jesus, how is it that we should view the New Year and New Year's Resolutions? On this episode, Brent, Kenzie, and Logan discuss how we can view the New Year as a time to examine your life and see what steps you can begin to take to grow closer to Christ and bring more glory to Him by your lifestyle. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you!

"Success leaves clues. And sometimes that clue is healthy leadership that is just able to take them from plateau to plateau." - Trey MarinelloMy guest this week, Trey Marinello of Houlihan Lokey, is an expert in a topic everyone is constantly talking about: Private Equity. Trey joined the show to demystify the world of investment banking and explain exactly why private equity firms are pouring billions of dollars into the employer-sponsored healthcare space.Trey breaks down the current trends, explaining why PE isn't just about leverage and debt, but about "turning the propeller faster" through distribution expertise and strategic growth. We discuss why categories like TPAs, cost containment, and innovative funding models are red-hot, while "wellness" and "population health" have struggled to prove their ROI.We also explore the potential of AI to revolutionize mental health care, why “ICHRA” is still a wild card, and how smart brokers are becoming essential value-drivers in M&A deals.Tune in for a masterclass on following the money in healthcare!Chapters:(00:00:00) Why Private Equity is Pouring Billions Into Employer Healthcare(00:00:35) Why Private Equity Loves Healthcare (00:08:59) What Does an Investment Banker Actually Do?
