Paul Seabridge reveals how to buy, build and sell to business success
Life as an entrepreneur can be tough. In the UK, 20% of start-up businesses fail in their first year, with only 40% surviving after three years. Paul Seabridge, a natural born entrepreneur, with almost two decades of business, mergers and acquisitions expertise, believes that instead of starting a business, the biggest opportunity to generate significant wealth at the moment is in fact by trading with SMEs owned by ‘baby boomers’ and building the business from there.
Baby boomers who are by definition, people born between 1946 – 1964, own approximately 40% of small businesses and franchises in the US. With recent figures showing that 12,000 people from the baby boom generation are turning 65 every day in the UK and US combined, many will be looking to start their retirement and may want to find a buyer for their business. According to Paul, this creates a window of opportunity for the ambitious entrepreneur.
In Buy, Build, Sell, Paul shares his tips for buying or starting a business and developing it to its full potential. Drawing on his experience as a global entrepreneur, private investor and corporate advisor, it is an invaluable read for new entrepreneurs and seasoned business owners alike.
Buy, Build, Sell is accessible and informative, integrating the lessons Paul learnt buying his first company and starting his first business with advice on the key areas to focus on to improve mergers, acquisitions and business performance. The book covers multiple essential topics, such as ensuring financial success through capital events, reinvestment into assets and creating passive income streams. It also digs into the everyday running of a business: attracting and looking after talent, boosting sales and company profile, productivity measures and the basics of finance and accounting. After that, Paul sets the reader up to facilitate their business’s further growth, through a merger or acquisition process or taking the company public, and alongside that, ensuring company performance remains high.
Throughout Buy, Build, Sell, Paul both shares his passion for creating successful companies and provides step-by-step instructions on building businesses as a form of wealth generation. He believes that with a proactive mentality and can-do attitude, success is within anybody’s grasp. Buy, Build, Sell is the only guidance and support the ambitious entrepreneur could need.
