Buying A Business

Buy Businesses the Smart Way

Finding businesses to buy is easy. Finding the right one — and paying the right price — is not. I help serious buyers avoid expensive mistakes by revealing hidden risks, true financials, and real growth potential others miss. My mission: protect your money and ensure you buy businesses worth owning.

Pre-Deal Reality Check

Before you commit time and money to full due diligence, I run a fast, practical desktop review. I flag deal-breakers, misalignments, and red flags, giving you a clear go/no-go recommendation within days.

‍→ Save tens of thousands and weeks of wasted time upfront.

On-the-Ground Diagnostic

If the deal looks viable, I dig deeper, analysing financials, operations, team dynamics, key-person risks, and seller readiness. You’ll get a clear risk/opportunity assessment and and concrete actions to make the deal work.

→ Know exactly what you’re walking into before you commit more time, money, resources and energy.

Deal Structuring & Transition Support

I help shape offers, advise on vendor finance, earn-outs, and terms, and work directly with sellers to keep negotiations on track. I also coordinate owner-side due diligence, bridging gaps and preventing costly surprises.

‍→ Get a deal structured to stick, not collapse at the table.

Post-Acquisition Stability

After the deal closes, I stay involved to stabilise operations and deliver early wins. My 30- to 90-day integration plans protect your investment, align teams, and keep momentum strong from day one.
→ The business doesn’t break in your hands, it starts strong.

The BXS Difference

There’s a story behind every set of numbers. Most advisors miss it because they’ve never sat in your chair, or the seller’s.
I have. And I’ve kept a deal alive more times than I can count, when fear, silence, or hidden risks threatened to kill it.
My edge isn’t just analysis. It’s translation.
I bridge the gap between buyers, sellers, brokers, and advisors, turning confusion into clarity, and deals into reality. Financial due diligence only tells part of the truth. I reveal what’s behind the numbers: people, culture, and silent risks that can drain millions after closing.
When you work with me, you’re investing in certainty, speed, and the power to move faster and smarter than anyone else.
While others spend years circling deals, you’ll be closing the right ones and growing your investments.

I Speak Both Languages: Most business owners do not speak Corporate. I translate between all parties, so misunderstandings don’t kill your deal.

I’ve Been in Those Shoes: I've been the operator, the buyer and the seller. I know what’s behind the financials — and how owner mindset, hidden dependencies, and unwritten knowledge can make or break a deal.

I See What Due Diligence Misses: I see beyond just numbers and legalities. I see the people, systems, and practical realities that make those numbers real — or not. That’s how I spot red flags before you waste time or money.

I Keep Sellers Calm and Cooperative: Sellers often freeze, get defensive, or even pull out when questions start. I keep them engaged, open, and ready to cooperate — so you’re not babysitting the deal.

check

I Save You Money and Time: I filter deals fast, before you spend tens of thousands on legal, accounting, and due diligence fees for a business that shouldn’t be bought.

Work with me, and you’re not buying reports — you’re gaining certainty, speed, and the power to close the right deals while everyone else is still circling.
