The £18M Leap: From Corporate Grind to Business Mastery with Jamil Anakkar

There are simple things you can do to get your acquisitions completed faster.

So many people aren’t prepared in the way they should be, which dramatically slows down the process of buying or selling a business.

In this episode I am joined by Jamil Anakkar, the CEO of Tandy Ventures, who shares where he sees the massive opportunities in M&A right now.

Jamil outlines the challenges he faced during his first acquisition, and the importance of effective communication and financial health in the acquisition process. To be best prepared you need to deal in person with the seller as much as possible before handing over to solicitors.

Leave too much to them and it will slow you down.

If you want to find out how you should be prepared for your business acquisition, listen up!
