Mark Supperstone Business Buying Strategies from The Dealmaker's Academy

    • Entrepreneurship

Hello this is Jonathan Jay - and welcome to episode 138 of the Business Buying Strategies podcast. 
Now if you are a regular listener to this podcast, you may be as shocked as I was to discover that just a couple of weeks ago, we celebrated our third birthday.
Since our very first episode way back in April 2018, we have interviewed and spoken with some remarkable people. In the early days, we used to edit each interview into a number of bitesize segments, and then spread them out over a number of episodes.
This was fine at the time, but in hindsight some of the interviews were so rich in content that I believe they deserve to be heard in a single sitting.
I have handpicked four of my favourite interviews from the podcast, and Ed, our podcast producer, has re-edited them so you get to hear each one in full.
This week, we return to August 2018, when I was joined by Mark Supperstone, a Director of the Resolve Group, a company that specialises in acquiring and funding distressed companies. I’ve chosen this particular contribution because of the number of students and clients I meet who are keen to grow by acquiring distressed businesses themselves. It’s not without its risks, but the rewards can be handsome if you get it right. 


So here’s Mark explaining how they made their first acquisition, when they purchased a bakery business out of administration.
