Take the short cut with Guy
Meet Guy Bartlett, the visionary Founder of the Business Buyers Club, a seasoned entrepreneur. With a remarkable track record, Guy has not only advised industry giants like Sainsbury’s, JD Sports, and Iceland Foods but he's also created 3 separate multi-million-pound businesses from the ground up.
Having personally successfully acquired 5 companies with over £7 million in revenues, Guy decided to share his wealth of knowledge by establishing The Business Buyers Club in 2014.
Guy's commitment to UK SMEs extends beyond mentorship, as he actively continues to invest in profitable businesses. Having grown The Club, he continues to use his direct and personal experiences. Between 2017 and 2021 he acquired a portfolio with £19 million of revenues and Club members have completed deals totalling an impressive £145 million and counting - proof that his process is the best around.
Better still Guy is personally still acquiring and shares ALL of the latest and best techniques with all Club members.

"I was spending a lot of time trying to work out if it was a viable decision to purchase another similar business. Originally I sought advice from my accountant, solicitor, business coach and friends but all were pretty much sat on the fence. After a quick conversation Guy was able to come back to me with a straight to the point reason why I shouldn't buy the business along with a number of other reasons why this was a bad move.I believe Guy has saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks again Guy!"
