About The Business Buying Blueprint

What is this Blueprint?

The Business Buying Blueprint is a World Class toolkit giving you EVERY aspect of the process.  From figuring out how much money you want to make and why, to positioning yourself for success, to finding quality Deals, to Valuations and Structuring, plus Negotiation strategies and finally how to successfully Integrate your acquisition for long term success.  

Successive entrepreneurs, business and franchise owners and property investors have all learned how to successfully acquire 6, 7 and 8 figure businesses across many sectors in the UK and overseas using our Blueprint as their core toolkit.

You too can benefit from 20 years of Guy's experience in buying 11 companies of his own companies with £26 million in revenues PLUS his experience advising on over 150 deals.  All of that is captured in the Blueprint to give you the support, resources and toolkit you need to buy a business properly.

Here's a summary of everything you get to progress you to the end goal ...

The Complete Business Buying Blueprint

So you can get the help and support you need to not only discover WHAT it is you need to do to grow your business, but actually get help to get it done it too - without years old hard slog and mistakes.

The programme takes you through all the steps, with clear outcomes at every stage, to get you to your first deal. 

LIVE Group Support Sessions

So you can ask questions and make steady progress through Blueprint - rather than it sit there unused (admit it, we've all done that!).

Every week you can tune into what we call our "book club" guiding you through the modules and "unsticking" you on anything that might be holding back your progress.  

All part of your monthly membership!

Access to The Club WhatsApp Group 

So you can strategise and get help from previous students that are also buying businesses - share in the banter too with this lively group!

The network of professionals, suppliers and entrepreneurs who are on the same path as you continues to expand. In our WhatsApp group, you'll be able to ask direct questions, get input on your own deals from Guy, the team and other members, and learn from the deals that others in the group are working on.

Accountability & Support

So you can stay on track throughout the process and make sure you get your deal (or deals) completed. 

No matter how motivated or positive you are…
No matter how great you think you are… 
Without accountability, you will give up!

Studies have consistently found that those that are held accountable to their external commitments achieve 10 times more than those that do not.
 
Why? Because external motivation is stronger than internal motivation. We have noticed those that who consistently turn up and do the tasking get quicker and faster results.
 
We want this to work for you and that is why we will over-deliver for you. It is a vital step on our journey together and we are here to support you in the best way possible.

Paul Pearse, Investor and Business Acquirer

If you take for instance, the Glazer family, an American family who purchased Manchester United. I'd heard they hadn't actually incurred any personal risk while doing that and I thought, my God, that's impossible. This is well over a decade ago, and then I came across The Business Buyers Club, where they actually teach you how they did it, and how I could do it.
There’s so much that I get out of the Club: access to legal help, accountancy help, insight into the pitfalls, what to look out for, what is profitable, what isn't profitable, etcetera. And Guy’s a genuine man. He gets a thrill, I think, from what he's doing, and in helping others to do it too.  He's building a very, very impressive network. It's really growing, and I'm happy to be part of it. 

Carl Doherty, Business Buyer

“Support. That's the biggest thing. I think when you're buying a business or looking to purchase a business, it is a process which is very learnable, but like most things, once you start getting involved with it, there's a lot of nuances there. I wanted that touch point, someone at the end of the phone that I could speak to and just guide me.
For anyone who's contemplating buying and selling businesses, this can take you from zero, to actually purchasing your first company. For sure.
I think Guy is tremendous, he's very humble, very supportive and very professional. He's a friend. I think that the relationship develops very, very quickly and he's there to help and he's genuine."

Mark Jackson, Property Investor

For me it's not just about content, it’s about the integrity of the individuals. I saw and felt that Guy was speaking from the heart and talking about things he really understood, and was talking about a whole new world of business which was so exciting."

Joe Wilson, Property Investor now buying supporting businesses

“I came across Guy when he was speaking at an event and he shared some really interesting tools. The BBC presented an opportunity for me to open up a whole new asset class. The whole thing has been wonderful. I’d recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.

Guy is fantastic. Inspirational. His knowledge is incredibly deep and incredibly broad and he is incredibly free with it all. He gives it out with no thought to commercial gain.”

 Do I need extensive business experience to follow the programme?
 
You’ll need some experience, yes, but we don’t expect everyone to have the level of knowledge in this area that Guy and the team have – that’s why we created the Blueprint. The course was built to provide you with all the knowledge (or experts) you need.  
 What if I need help?
 
We have a support desk for Blueprint members who need help as they progress. 
 How long will it take to complete a deal?
 
Every member and every deal are different. Some people are already quite experienced and want to hit the ground running, while others want to take their time and build their knowledge and confidence. There are no set rules, but on average most people complete a deal within 6-12 months. 
 How much of my time day-to-day will I need to study?
 
Again, that’s entirely up to you and dependent on your circumstances. We have members who work on their acquisition alongside their current job or business while others are dedicated full time. 
 How long will it take to complete the course?
 
Every member is different, and you can work at your own pace. How long it takes is down to you and the amount of time you have to put into your learning. 
 Where will I find companies to buy?
 
There are two routes available to you. The first is through the broker network and we have a list of recommended brokers who know us well and understand how our deals are structured. The second route is by direct marketing and we supply all the templates that we have tested expensively and use in our own acquisitions. 
 Where will I find all the experts I need e.g. lawyers, funders etc.?
 
Blueprint members have access to a full panel of trusted experts and advisors who are familiar with the Club and how we work. 
 What if I don't know how to run the business post acquisition?
 
We’re not expecting you to run the business. If you’ve followed the process step by step your new business will have in place a tier of management who will continue to run the business after the sale. This process is about investment, not buying a job although some people do want to become more hands on with their new company, and that’s fine too. Most however want to move on to the next deal while having a more overarching, high level involvement.
