I'd sell you my business just to watch a great video on it 😂😂

Good Grief, what a brilliant and inspirational guy James. Some of your comments on helping other peoples business are spot on. I'm pretty much screwed, but wish I had met you in my younger days, and changed my outlook! Being a bussines success is a bit meh, there is more to it than that. To inspire, educate and encourage the younger generation to achieve their goals, the satisfaction in that, is absolute!

Love this channel! I have a business right now and im trying to buy a business to add to it now!

Thanks James. Helping to motivate me at the moment to get things moving forward. I've sent a message through your website. Have a good day!

I recently discovered your KZfaq channel and I'm really enjoying it! I'm a big fan of your business insights and advice. I used to go to Rossi's ice cream as a kid in the 70s. I'm currently working on growing my own business, and your videos have been really helpful.

Your enthusiasm is infectious, I wish as a business owner I could give off that positivity and make people believe in the journey. Keep the videos coming they are very inspiring.

very informative as always!

What a top guy you sound. New subscriber. Love your content

Brilliant well done James 👏

Great video James!

Brilliant video James 👍🏻👍🏻

Fabulous nursery project and love Rossi's.....

Great stuff James

Hey, great video. Would be interested to know what you see as the optimal nursery size (child capacity).

Good to see follow up videos on deals. BTW, did you do the signs in-house?

Great vid, would be really interested to know what systems/processes you implement in the new nurseries so make finances etc more easily visible. Im based in the north and currently trying to help my parents modernise their internal processes at the family owned nursery, trying to get away from doing everything on paper and find a system that’s a bit more automated, I can’t imagine trying to run a second site with current processes where we barely know who owes us what. Is their any software you could recommend that helps you manage one or multiple sites more easily. thanks again and loving the content

Clever man. Would like to know his experience in land buying. Freehold plot purchases for self builds. Struggling in this climate to find anything. Spot plots regularly. Just wouldn’t know where to start in finding land owners and how to approach them.

Definitely the way forward is buying a business and the freehold property. Banks like the safety blanket of a property.

Another great video 🙌🏻👌🏻

James, how do you go about starting a business in the U.K. that is currently not being done here yet, problem being the machine to carry out said job is around €150k? Can be used in Manufacturing, Engineering, Maritime, Off Shore rigs, Heritage buildings, Rail, Aerosspace, Automorive industries. Any advice is most appreciated.

You inspire me James... I'm currently stuck working in a supermarket! I have 6 rental properties but this is truly inspirational 👌

Well done Jimmy

Isn't this the snowball effect ? £950k making £100k means it is easily self financing with £250k down ? I love the bolt on, rebrand, bring up to date, etc. as it all flows nicely. A question though, where would you have put the business / property value split on this one ? £300k business and £650k property ?

Have you ever had experience looking at purchasing a software business / agency? I am considering this myself

Whiteboard paint would be soo much fun for the kids. Just an idea

have to say profit on time of purchase otherwise no context to figures. im assuming was around £125k profit with an 8x multiple?

Hey James...love to have tea with you too, as you have insoired me to follow your ideas....coming down today, if you are possibly in.?

Could you make a video about importing products from abroad and the full process you use for teddytastic? I think a lot of people will find this extremely valuable (including myself)!

Hi James love the channel been watching for ages, any advice for getting funding from banks. I am a mechanic and the garage I currently work at part time (other time I building my mobile mechanic business) is going for sale but it's 600k I only have 30k saved up. Aged 22. Any advice would be really great

Genius idea

Hi James, do you separate the property and business in different companies or keep them all in the same Ltd Co?

Inspiring

Did you do this under a Lease option with the seller then?

When I seen the title, I assumed you bought wakey wines

Do you have any online courses or etickets?

can have all the knowledge you have but if dont have the confidence and the ability to speak as well as you then i dont think it would matter.. ability to connect with people is crucial i think. how do you become a good speaker and have such confidence that you can connect with people easily

More of a observation, I LOVE your vids ad lap them up every time! You said at the start it "was making £100k profit and you wanted to add those 10%'s" then on the revisited you said "the team we're part of a failing business", was this just getting carried away making this vid or did I miss something?

why buy distressed and then have to improve. why not just buy already working and seller just wants out cos of health, divorce etc? also 5 years to get the £250k a year profit, seems very long, how much was profit on acquisition? thnks

great videos, does that mean the multiple is 11 when calculating a day nursery as you said 200k EBITDA and a 2.2m of valuation? Seems a strong business. We have a number of pharmacies but as our income is about 85% from the NHS and funding cuts we are slowly looking to move into other businesses that show strong cash flow and resale values that need fixing.

What would be your best tip when starting a business?

Amazing, I’m retired now. I wish id met you 30 years ago.🤣

Have you ever bought online businesses? Or do you prefer buying traditional businesses?

and my fave hobby is playing my guitar So, what's all this about buying a business for nothing?!!

👌🏻

Mmmmm Business.

Hi kids can you say Tory 😂 nah it's only jokes I respect the grind

Pay employees minimum wage and charge parents through the roof for childcare. You love to see it

Stop! Stop now!!! Your worth 10/20 million. Buy a home and car of your dreams! Spend up to 50k a year on holidays of a lifetime. Spend every single day with your wife and children. I’m sure you can leave it all but have a reasonable passive income. When your on your death bed you won’t say I wish I kept going with my business I could be worth 100 million by now but you sure will wish you spent every living day with your loved ones. Consider it James. All the very best

Still got quite a lot to do? You're not kidding. Its taken a year to paint walls the same colour as a scented candle from Lidl? You may as well have employed Del and Rodney 😭
