Matt is actively acquiring and building a portfolio: the inverse buyer-pyramid (loads of small businesses for sale, almost no buyers), the roll-up play of merging four or five firms into a larger group to find a buyer and a higher multiple, and why a strategic buyer who already has warehousing and distribution pays the most. Plus: 80% of listed businesses never sell.

Jayden sold his first ecommerce business two and a half years in for £500,000, and is candid that another eighteen months of operations work would likely have made it a seven-figure exit. He talks through why the buyer forced a six-month earn-out, how owner dependency created a liability that suppressed his price, and what the acquiring fund did to pull the business out of his head and into an operating model. Useful for any founder who wants to understand what actually gets valued at exit.
