In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, you're invited to sit in on one of Jonathan Jay's live "Coffee with Jonathan" sessions — where he fields rapid-fire questions from aspiring dealmakers and delivers straight-talking, practical answers.

From metaphors that make sense to advice that saves you from million-pound mistakes, this episode is packed with real insights, real examples, and real momentum.

Here's what you'll learn this week:

  • The Spaghetti Analogy That Could Change Your Approach Forever

    Discover why Jonathan says business buying is like choosing between wet spaghetti and dry spaghetti — and how following a clear, step-by-step system can cut years off your learning curve.

  • Why Small Deals Can Be Big Mistakes

    Find out why buying a tiny business is often riskier than going bigger — and why revenue comfort zones might be holding you back.

  • Can You Really Buy a Business If You're Broke?

    Jonathan explains why financial difficulties don't disqualify you — and how some of his most successful clients started with nothing but a plan.

  • What If You've Never Bought a Business Before?

    Learn exactly what to say, do, and show to build credibility as a first-time buyer — even if sellers do their due diligence on you.

  • Why Business Brokers May Not Be Your Best Bet

    Jonathan shares why none of his 1,000+ successful clients have done deals through brokers — and what you should be doing instead.

  • Overseas Acquisitions, Asset vs Share Purchases, Leveraged Buyouts & More

    This session covers it all — including how to structure smart deals, whether you need industry experience, and how to stay motivated during a multi-year buy-and-build plan.

Whether you're taking your first steps, feeling stuck, or trying to figure out your next move — this episode offers the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

If you're serious about buying a business – and avoiding the mistakes Jonathan outlines – book a free Clarity Call with one of his team:

👉 dealmakers.co.uk/clarity

You'll get 15 minutes of expert insight to help you decide which next step is right for you – whether that's attending a Deal Club evening, joining the 3-day Foundation Programme, or stepping straight into the Mastermind.
