Turn it around! ↪️ Jacob and Anthea had a sub contracting AEB business 📈 Whilst they were making £250k net profit on £1.7m turnover, they were drawing out £32k per month (£384k per annum) in salary and dividends 😮 Taking into account the 19% corporation tax at the time (c£50k), that means they were drawing the best part of £200k more than the company could afford. Creditors stretched back 9 months as they avoided paying people to pay themselves 😫 We established that two things needed to be done to save the business, and so we did them: 1. We convinced them to change their strategy, as AEB sub contracting could not last too much longer. We worked on a plan to implement Apprenticeships and Commercial revenues 💷 2. We conducted a financial turnaround over a period of 5 months. During that time we cleaned it up, got the business into a strong financial position and creditors down to only 2 months. The business was saved ⛑️ The apprenticeship and commercial business reached £8m annual turnover within the next 3 years and was very profitable 💷💷💷 ...BUT...the business went bust soon after this, as the financial drawings on the company had risen considerably higher than the net profit, AND the owners continued their recklessness❗ So, although we were very successful in saving the business and helping it build and grow through a better strategy, we could not persuade the owners to halt their relentless appetite for cash and the acquisition of big toys, hence the ultimate failing of the business...📉 You can organise the water and bring the horse to it...🐴 If you're willing to trust in us and are determined to turn your business around and make it a success (no matter what state it may be in), we can do it with you! ✅ Get in contact: https://lnkd.in/egCqRZsy . . . . . #BusinessStrategy #FinancialTurnaround #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #FinancialPlanning #SmallBusinessAdvice

Private equity’s “summer lull” has become somewhat of a tradition, and understandably so. To the industry’s surprise, “U.S. private-equity deals rose 12% in July from June levels, while deal value grew by 59% over the same period.” This has experts in the industry wondering, could the hot summer we saw for PE mean the end of the year will bring quality returns, too? #PrivateEquity #Investment #Summer

What is a syndication and why does it matter? 🤔 A syndication is the process of pulling a group of investors together, to acquire something that is going to generate a return. That return is dispersed upon the passive investors and the group that is presenting the opportunity to the investors.🙌🏼 This is how someone who knows how to find deals and raise capital for a syndication, can become RICH with none of their own money! Because if you know how to put all the pieces together, how to find opportunities, and how to raise capital, then you can get a piece of the pie without having any of your own capital at play. 😁 This is how I was able to leave my job after 1 year of adopting this strategy and implementing it! 1 year after starting this, I had enough cash to leave my job and start investing full time. 🤯
