Buying a business isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about structuring the deal in a way that works for everyone involved. In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan hands the microphone to his dealmaking partner Martin, who shares insights from a live webinar with Dealmakers clients. Martin has been directly involved in hundreds of acquisitions and is currently negotiating multiple deals himself. In this session he explains how real deals are structured, how negotiations actually unfold, and what funding strategies are working in today's market. This episode is packed with practical advice drawn from real negotiations happening right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why negotiation skills matter more than clever deal structures Many new dealmakers become fascinated by complex deal structures. But Martin explains that the structure itself is rarely the difficult part. The real skill lies in negotiating terms that work for both sides. Successful negotiators focus on three outcomes: • Getting the business cheaper • Getting better payment terms • Getting more value for the same price When you negotiate with these principles in mind, both sides feel they've achieved a good outcome. Why deal structure can change a business's value dramatically One of the most striking insights from the episode is how the same business can be valued very differently depending on the deal structure. Martin shares a real example where four potential deal structures valued the same business between £1.2 million and £3 million. Nothing about the business itself changed. Only the structure of the deal. Ironically, the structure with the highest valuation turned out to be the best deal for the buyer because it produced significantly stronger annual cashflow. It's a powerful reminder that: Price alone never tells the full story. Why preparation matters – but expecting the unexpected matters more Many first-time buyers believe they need to be perfectly prepared before approaching a seller. Martin explains why this mindset can hold you back. In real negotiations, unexpected moments happen constantly. He shares a story about visiting a potential acquisition target and discovering—mid-conversation—that the seller spoke Danish, which unexpectedly became a useful rapport-building moment. The lesson? You cannot prepare for every possible outcome. But you can stay flexible and genuine. The difference between objections and buying questions A key negotiation skill is recognising the difference between: An objection and A buying question Often when sellers raise concerns, they are not rejecting the deal. They are simply participating in the buying process. For example, when a seller asks: "How do I know you'll actually pay me the deferred payments in the future?" This is usually a buying question rather than resistance. Martin explains how to respond by: • Sharing your long-term vision for the business • Explaining why reputation matters for future acquisitions • Highlighting legal protections within the deal Handled correctly, these moments can build trust rather than derail negotiations. The most common funding options used in acquisitions Funding a deal doesn't always require traditional bank loans. Martin outlines several financing options frequently used in acquisitions: Invoice Finance One of the easiest and most flexible funding sources, especially for B2B businesses. Asset Finance Funding secured against equipment, machinery or vehicles within the business. Bridging Finance Often used when property assets are involved. Cashflow Lending Possible but generally riskier because it relies solely on the borrower's ability to repay. Interestingly, Martin's preference is often no external finance at all, using seller-funded structures instead. These can dramatically reduce risk for the buyer. The danger of majority share purchases Another important insight relates to buying majority stakes instead of full ownership. Martin warns that shared ownership can lead to serious problems if the relationship between directors breaks down. Whenever possible, buying 100% of the business is usually the cleaner and safer option. If a minority stake remains, it's essential to agree upfront how future exits will be handled. How to handle seller concerns about deferred payments One of the most common objections sellers raise is concern about receiving payments years into the future. Martin explains how to reassure sellers by emphasising: • Your long-term strategy for the business • The reputational damage of failing to honour agreements • Legal protections within the share purchase agreement • The mutual incentives to make the business succeed When positioned correctly, deferred payments become a shared success model, not a risk. Key Takeaway The biggest misconception about buying businesses is that deals depend on complicated financial engineering. In reality, successful acquisitions come down to three things: • Strong negotiation skills • Smart deal structures • Clear alignment between buyer and seller Master these, and opportunities open up quickly. If you want to understand how real deals are negotiated and funded in today's market, this episode is essential listening.

This one is personal. In this episode, I share something that happened in real time… I received an email from someone connected to my childhood abuse. And it brought up things I thought I had already processed. I talk about what it actually feels like when old trauma resurfaces. What happens in your body. What happens in your mind. How healing isn't linear. And why forgiveness is not something you owe anyone. This isn't a polished “look how healed I am” conversation. It's real. It's layered. It's complicated. Inside this episode I share: What it feels like when the past reappears unexpectedly How I handled the email without betraying myself Why boundaries matter more than being “nice” The truth about forgiveness Why healing doesn't mean you won't get triggered again How storytelling has been part of my healing You don't owe anyone closure. You don't need to be strong all the time. And you don't have to perform healing for the world. If this resonates, comment below and let me know. And if it helps you, share it with someone who might need it. Like, subscribe, and turn notifications on so you never miss an episode.

7 Lies the Church Taught You About How Jesus Handled NarcissistsIf you've ever felt guilty for setting boundaries, saying no, or protecting your peace, it may not be conviction - it may be mis-teaching. In this episode, we expose seven common lies many Christians were taught about how Jesus handled narcissistic, controlling, or deceitful people - and why those teachings quietly keep believers stuck in guilt, exhaustion, and self-abandonment.Using Scripture and cultural context, we unpack what Jesus actually modeled: truth without appeasement, love with boundaries, forgiveness without forced reconciliation, and discernment over religious pressure. From “turn the other cheek” to “submit no matter what,” you'll learn how these verses are often misused - and how Jesus Himself confronted manipulation, walked away from danger, and protected His mission without sinning.This episode will help you release false guilt, reclaim biblical clarity, and follow Christ without sacrificing your God-given boundaries.

Meeting resistance (from others and within ourselves) with curiosity is your career superpower. My guest Dan Tocchini deep dives into what resistance is really telling you and how to leverage it to build teams that produce creative solutions. Every interaction is a design challenge to create psychological safety - get to the why with each team member. We are hardwired with two mandates: stay alive and conserve energy. This is translated to us as looking good, feeling good, being right and staying in control. When we don't have any of these factors, we go into resistance. Criticism, contempt, stonewalling or defensiveness are the ways we protect ourselves from perceived threats. Envy and competition show up when an individual feels threatened by th excellence of others. Creativity is about having an opinion. Design is about refining your field of options. All new possibility presents itself as a threat at first, so you have to release attachment to those opinions. Preparing others to lead and succession planning are signs of a healthy work culture where excellence is celebrated not feared.

The "Madman Theory" was Richard Nixon's foreign policy strategy during the Vietnam War era, where he deliberately cultivated an image of being unpredictable and irrational—hinting he might escalate to nuclear extremes—to intimidate adversaries like North Vietnam and the Soviet Union into concessions. Nixon instructed aides like Henry Kissinger to spread rumors that he was volatile enough to "go crazy" and use drastic measures, hoping fear of his supposed madness would deter aggression and force negotiations without actual escalation. Nixon's Madman Theory was relatively ineffective in coercing North Vietnam because Hanoi correctly gambled that the U.S. would not use nuclear force against a non-nuclear state—like North Vietnam—due to the massive domestic and international backlash, the high risk of Soviet/Chinese escalation, and the global nuclear taboo. But what if Nixon had used it against an actual nuclear power? That could have happened if history had only played out a little differently. JFK won his presidential election in 1960 against Nixon by a few thousand votes in key counties, and many suspected voter fraud. What if Nixon had won? And what if he used the Madman Doctrine against the Soviets in the Cuban Missile Crisis? In today’s episode, were’ joined by Harvy Simon, who wrote a book of alternate history called “The Madman Theory” that imagines exactly that scenario. The book focuses on how President Nixon handles the Cuban Missile Crisis. True to the "Madman" strategy, Nixon maneuvers the U.S., the Soviet Union, and the world to the brink of nuclear war, believing his reputation for unpredictability will force Nikita Khrushchev to back down. We explore the dangers of deliberately appearing irrational and unstable to an adversary—especially in the nuclear age—significantly increases the risk of miscalculation, accidental escalation, or the adversary failing to understand the bluff, thereby triggering an actual catastrophic conflict. Harvey Simon --- I’m the author of The Madman Theory, which posits that Richard Nixon won the 1960 election against Kennedy. In particular, it focuses on the Cuban missile crisis, and what would have happened differently with Nixon as president.My book is being reissued with a newly added foreword examining how Nixon’s madman theory has been taken up by President Trump.If you'd be interested in a show about what would likely have happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis if Kennedy hadn't won--some scholars doubt the outcome was legitimate--I'd be happy to talk with you about my analysis, and, more generally, how counterfactuals can improve our understanding of history.I'm a former national security analyst with Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and have also worked as a journalist.
