    Why 100+ UK Businesses Are Adding Bitcoin to Their Balance Sheets | Jordan Walker

    Bitcoin for business is no longer a fringe idea. It is a rapidly growing movement among UK entrepreneurs. Bitcoin entrepreneur Jordan Walker, founder of the Bitcoin Collective and the Bitcoin Business Network, joins James Lamb on The Ownership Journey to break down what Bitcoin actually is, why over 100 UK companies are now holding BTC on their balance sheets, and how business owners can start accepting bitcoin as payment. From explaining the bitcoin protocol and self custody to demystifying volatility and intrinsic value concerns, this episode is a practical guide to understanding digital assets for any entrepreneur. Jordan shares his journey from launching a podcast during Covid to hosting the UK's first major bitcoin conference in Edinburgh with over 550 attendees, featuring speakers from Coutts Bank, Fidelity, and members of Parliament. He reveals how the bitcoin business network grew from a single event into a nationwide community of business owners interested in cryptocurrency, investing, and using bitcoin as collateral for quick capital. The conversation also tackles the decline of fiat currency, with the British pound losing 95 percent of its purchasing power since 1970, and why scarcity makes bitcoin a compelling store of value. For business owners and entrepreneurs still on the fence, Jordan addresses the top objections head on: volatility, environmental concerns around bitcoin mining, and the question of intrinsic value. He outlines practical steps for dollar cost averaging into bitcoin, the difference between hot wallets and cold wallets, and why the blockchain matters. With institutional giants like BlackRock now recommending 1 to 3 percent portfolio allocation to bitcoin, the question for businesses is no longer why bitcoin but how fast you can learn.

    From £5,000 Debt to Owning 12 Companies | Andy Hopper

    Andy Hopper reveals his business acquisition strategy that took him from £5,000 in credit card debt to owning 12 companies across the globe. In this raw conversation on The Ownership Journey, the founder of Expand unpacks the exact frameworks, deal structures, and business systems he used to build his empire through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), starting businesses where it made sense and acquiring businesses when opportunity struck. James Lamb digs into the moments that matter most for any entrepreneur: how to buy a business without millions in cash, why scaling a business through acquisition beats organic growth, and the STEMS framework that lets you step away from daily operations without the whole thing collapsing. Andy also breaks down the pre pack administration deal that turned a six figure company into a five figure acquisition, paid entirely on day one. If selling a business is on your radar, his approach to business valuation and deal structure is required viewing. This entrepreneur podcast episode covers the OATS integration process, the 6-10-10 metric system for tracking business growth, minority equity stakes in warehouses, and the infamous "wanker test" for choosing business partnerships. Whether you are buying a business, building a small business acquisition portfolio, or designing your business exit strategy, Andy delivers the kind of candid, numbers driven advice that leads to genuine financial freedom. From entrepreneurship through side hustles to running a global group of 12 companies, this is the playbook you did not know you needed.

    From Redundancy to £22M in Deals: The Acquisition Entrepreneur Playbook | Lee Smith

    Lee Smith is the ultimate acquisition entrepreneur, a deal maker who went from redundancy at Ratner to closing over £22 million in business acquisitions. In this episode of The Ownership Journey, he reveals the exact mergers and acquisitions playbook that took him from a struggling IT company to owning a £12 million roofing business and a £10 million HVAC company in the same year, one of them through a leveraged buyout with zero of his own capital. This conversation covers the full acquisition journey: sourcing deals, negotiating deal structure, navigating due diligence disasters, and scaling through a buy and build strategy. Lee breaks down how he used an LBO to acquire a multi million pound business, why integrity is the most undervalued currency in dealmaking, and the critical post acquisition moves that determine whether a deal becomes a legacy or a liability. If you've ever wondered how to buy a business with no money, this episode gives you the exact blueprint. Beyond business growth, this episode dives deep into wealth building and asset protection. Lee shares his personal investment thesis on physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin: why he believes the financial system is broken, how to hedge against inflation, and why owning hard assets is no longer optional.

    Your Employees Can Just Walk Out Tomorrow — Here's Why | Laura Tutt

    What if your best employees walked out tomorrow — and there was nothing you could do to stop them? In this episode of The Ownership Journey, host James Lamb sits down with Laura Tutt, founder of The Partnership, to break down why people and culture aren't just an HR checkbox — they're the single biggest lever in business ownership, employee retention, and long-term growth. Laura spent 20 years building an HR consultancy that goes far beyond compliance. From mergers and acquisitions due diligence to succession planning and the new Employee Rights Act, she shares hard-won lessons on what founders get wrong about leadership, why servant leadership matters more than ever, and how to build high-performing teams that actually stay. Her journey started at a dining table — today she and her team are the confidants that business owners call when the stakes are highest. With flexible working, the Fair Work Agency, and shifting employee expectations reshaping the landscape, her insights on people management have never been more relevant. This conversation covers the practical side of team management that every founder, small business owner, and entrepreneur needs to hear: how to handle employee engagement post-COVID, what employment law changes mean for your business, why most "mergers" don't actually exist, and the one employee retention strategy that costs nothing but changes everything.

    Selling Your Business for Millions: 3 ATMs to £100M Empire | Mark Mills

    Selling Your Business for Millions begins with a single observation in a New York corner store — and ends with a £250 million exit. Mark Mills turned 3 ATMs into Carpoint, a £100M Empire dispensing nearly half a billion pounds monthly across 6,500 machines in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. In this episode of The Ownership Journey, Mark shares the complete entrepreneur success story — the business growth tactics, the business acquisition strategy, and the serial entrepreneur mindset that took him from spotting an idea to building a business from scratch that achieved £98.2 million in revenue and £19.8 million in profit. For any UK entrepreneur seeking business motivation, this episode delivers the full arc of an entrepreneur journey: the controversial HBOS acquisition of 860 machines that put him before the Treasury Select Committee, the Daily Mail attack campaign that backfired into record transaction volumes, and the Securicor deal that handed him 1,232 locations overnight. Mark openly discusses managing £75 million in debt, listing on the AIM stock market, and the business exit planning discipline required when you're fielding a £250 million offer while your wife asks you to bring in the washing. This is exactly how to sell your business — and how to exit a business — from someone who lived it. Packed with actionable lessons on scaling, selling, and what comes after, this conversation is a complete business growth crash course from a serial entrepreneur who turned 3 ATMs into a £100M Empire — then walked away to teach others how to build a business and execute their own founder story. Key topics covered: How Mark spotted the ATM charging model in a New York corner store Scaling from 3 ATMs to 6,500 machines across three European countries Listing on the AIM stock market and raising acquisition capital The HBOS acquisition, Treasury Select Committee, and Daily Mail controversy How negative press accidentally boosted Carpoint's transaction volumes The £250 million exit offer — and why he walked away Post-exit advisory: turning a £3M client offer into a £10M+ sale The emotional reality of selling a business you've built from nothing Mark's closing advice: ruthlessly interrogate your business modelTimestamps: (00:00) Intro (01:23) The New York Corner Store Epiphany (03:51) How the Cash Machine Business Model Works (05:06) Carpoint by the Numbers — 6,500 Machines, £98.2M Revenue (08:28) Machine Economics, ROI & Longevity (09:40) Growth Through Acquisitions — HBOS, Securicor & More (13:13) The HBOS Deal & Facing the Treasury Select Committee (18:56) Building an Internal Engineering Team (20:43) Managing People — The "Fun Farm" Framework (25:02) Being a Listed Company & Sales Obsession (28:04) Acquiring the Biggest Competitor for £90M (33:22) The Decision to Exit — Why He Sold (41:22) Post-Sale Life & Launching His Advisory Business (50:16) Funding the Cash — The Alliance & Leicester Overdraft Deal (54:15) Early Entrepreneurial Journey — Selling Biscuits to Millions (56:57) Will Cash Disappear?

    How to Grow an Accounting Firm 5x in 5 Years (Acquisitions & AI) | Edmund Cartwright

    How to grow an accounting firm is one of the most pressing questions for practice owners in today's rapidly consolidating market. In this episode of The Ownership Journey, host James Lamb sits down with Edmund Cartwright, Partner at Acumen — a firm that has scaled from 15 staff to nearly 90 and revenue from £1.2 million to over £9 million in just five years. Edmund unpacks the dual-engine strategy behind this explosive accounting firm growth: a sophisticated mix of organic marketing (revamping a near-dead LinkedIn presence, working with an ex-Google marketing expert, and refining lead quality) and three strategic accounting firm acquisitions sourced through brokers and personal connections. He reveals how deal structures typically involve roughly half upfront with the rest spread over years — incentivising sellers to ensure smooth client handovers — and breaks down why private equity's entry into the accounting sector has pushed valuations from 0.8–1× revenue to 8–10× EBITDA, fundamentally reshaping the buying an accounting firm landscape for independent operators. The conversation also dives deep into the firm's proprietary AI-powered practice management software, built in-house to automate admin-heavy workflows. Edmund explains why Acumen chooses to hire solely in the UK rather than outsource offshore, how they integrate acquired teams without losing key talent, and the critical importance of regular price increases and formal employment contracts when preparing your accounting firm valuation for sale. Whether you're an accountant eyeing your first acquisition, a small business owner curious about exit planning, or a firm leader navigating post-merger integration, this episode delivers actionable, data-backed strategies from someone who's lived every stage of the journey. Key topics covered: Scaling an accounting firm from 15 to 90 staff Organic vs inorganic accounting business growth Structuring accounting firm acquisitions and earn-outs Private equity's impact on accounting firm valuation Post-acquisition integration — staff, clients, and brand Building custom AI software for practice management Marketing for accountants — LinkedIn, SEO, and lead quality Preparing your firm for sale — price increases, contracts, IT due diligenceChapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:13) Meet Edmund Cartwright — Partner at Acumen (02:32) The Evolution of Partnership Models in Accounting (03:18) Edmund's Career Path and Growth Philosophy (05:59) Scaling from £1.2M to £9M Revenue (06:44) Organic Growth — Marketing, LinkedIn, and Lead Quality (11:11) Inorganic Growth — Three Strategic Acquisitions (13:43) Valuations and Deal Structures Explained (17:41) Post-Acquisition Integration — What Worked and What Didn't (22:19) Tips for Sellers to Maximise Value (24:18) Client Reactions After Acquisition (26:41) Working ON the Business vs IN the Business (29:54) Advising Clients on Acquisitions and Exit Planning (33:53) Price Increases and Tax Strategy for Maximum Sale Value (36:17) UK Economic Sentiment and Its Impact on Business Owners (39:25) Why Private Equity Is Flocking to Accounting Firms (41:11) UK-Only Hiring vs Offshore Outsourcing (44:01) Building Proprietary AI Software for Practice ManagementShow: The Ownership JourneyGuest: Edmund CartwrightHost: James LambEditor: Taran (taran@ediflick.com) Follow for weekly conversations with people who've built, bought, and sold real businesses.

    How This Entrepreneur Lost His House & Built It Back Bigger | Andrew Scott

    What does it take for an entrepreneur who lost his house and everything he owned to rebuild a multi-million pound property empire? In this episode of The Ownership Journey, host James Lamb sits down with Andrew Scott — founder of Ascot Group, serial entrepreneur, and business turnaround specialist — who reveals how he overcame £100,000 in debt after 9/11 destroyed his business overnight and built it back bigger than anyone thought possible. Andrew shares the raw, unfiltered story of overcoming business failure at its most brutal level — losing his home, facing personal guarantees, and battling imposter syndrome while rebuilding from rock bottom. He breaks down the PERPLEX framework (Purpose, Plan, Execute) that became his comeback blueprint, the Sam Score system (Skills, Attitude, Momentum) he uses to assemble high-performance teams, and the VCOA marketing model (Visibility, Credibility, Offer, Action) that drives consistent business growth. This conversation also explores Andrew's property investment strategy and build-to-rent model for wealth creation, the lessons learned from selling Business Leader to Richard Harpin, the critical mistakes entrepreneurs make with personal guarantees and banking covenants, and why he believes the UK's attitude toward entrepreneurship needs a reset. Whether you're scaling a business, navigating a business acquisition, or searching for an entrepreneur mindset shift, this episode delivers hard-won lessons from someone who has been to the bottom and built it back bigger.
