You Want How Much

by Brian Holt

Overview

Based on more than a dozen years experience as Managing Director of two small businesses, ten years as a business broker, and as a private investor, the author has developed a unique process to guide business owners who want to prepare their company for sale or to get it ready for investment to achieve further growth.

Refined through face to face consultation this concise book shows the owner how to develop an action plan that will help him or her to achieve their personal and business goals.

There’s practical advice and case studies to illustrate how to make a business attractive to potential buyers and investors/lenders.

The reader is also encouraged to look at their business from the point of view of a prospective acquirer, investor or lender, so they know how best to address their concerns and so maximise their chances of success.

The Insider’s advice given here will repay the cost of the book many times over.

About the Author

I have a Masters degree in Chemistry, and a Post Graduate qualification in Management. I held a couple of technical management posts at Unilever plc before being appointed Development Manager at a subsidiary of Norcros plc.

My first MD position was at Data-Label Ltd where I achieved 20% per annum compound sales growth whilst increasing net profit from 10% to 12%; doubling the net profit per employee

Over a 9 year period I managed that company through two changes of ownership, and along the way learned a lot about the do’s and don’ts of post acquisition strategy.

I then spent 4 years as MD of Anglia Labels Sales Ltd before starting my own consultancy business in 2001, providing clients across a number of industries with hands-on help to improve business performance. In 2004 I bought Aconsulting, a Business Brokerage which I’ve run ever since.

For a number of years I’ve invested successfully in both established companies and start-ups.

The fact that I’ve been married twice proved that I’m an optimist. Between us Jo-ann and I have four children, ten grandchildren, two dogs, a rabbit, and assorted tropical and cold water fish.

We’re both PADI advanced scuba divers, though these days we spend most of our free time walking; most recently across moorland and along coastal paths.
