Scale to Sale V1

He hunted businesses for a living. His entire job at his private equity firm was to wine and dine you, get you to like him, and then he would devalue your business as much as possible. After he completely destroyed all of the confidence you had in what you spent years creating from the ground up…[a][b][c][d] He would then make you an offer for the lowest amount possible… And then after you reluctantly accepted, he would turn that business around, pour leveraged debt into it, grow it, and flip it for 3-4x the amount he bought. By the way, he’s acquired over 100 different businesses and sold 26 of them resulting in five billion dollars worth of deals.[e] The entire world of mergers and acquisitions is just as cutthroat as this man who I’ll introduce you to in a bit. And if you’re not prepared, without a doubt you will get taken advantage of. If you’ve ever thought about selling your business, this is quite literally the most important video you’ll watch this year. Over the next 10 minutes, we’re going to share the 5 step process which ensures you don’t get taken advantage of by a shark like that guy. What we’re about to share could save you tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars… Seriously, this isn’t an exaggeration. If you follow the 5-step process we’re about to share, you will not only be able to sell your company for the maximum amount possible… You’ll also be able to effortlessly find a buyer who’s happy to pay your price… But…that’s only if you have a company that’s attractive to investors. So what does that look like? Well, let’s start here…every business exists on a bell curve. You’ve got your initial growth hurdles… Your scaling season… And then if the business owner doesn’t exit…there’s the inevitable downfall… The business dies and the business owner is forced to hunt for their next venture… Or even worse… They’re forced to give up the freedom they once experienced as their own boss… And have to settle for something that can just pay the bills. There are very few businesses that stick around for decades and decades like Ford, GE, or Microsoft. Most eventually burn out. If you’re here watching this, more than likely you’re a part of that select few who made it past the initial growth hurdles… And now you’re in your scaling season. You’re probably stuck in a cycle of perpetual growth without ever reaching the pinnacle of true financial freedom. You're hustling day in and day out, scaling your operations, and perhaps even surpassing your revenue goals consistently. But let's face it… You're still clocking in those long hours. You’re micromanaging aspects of the business. You’re feeling the weight on your shoulders to perform every day. This is why most businesses experience an inevitable downfall. The business owner falls out of love with what they originally built… The pressure builds up and becomes unmanageable… Or a smarter, more agile competitor comes in, steals your lunch, and destroys your market share. If you're content with running your business indefinitely, want to keep competing with everyone, and are happy maintaining your current lifestyle, this video is not for you. However, if you're aiming for the freedom that allows you to do anything you want with your time… If you want to wake up every morning knowing that you ACTUALLY have FU money… The solution is obvious. You need to exit your business. However, in order to do that, you need to answer this simple question… Where the bell are you? If you don’t know where your business is at on the bell curve… You can run a few risks… Is it time to sell? Or is time to double down on growth? Sell too early, sure you get something guaranteed, however you could be leaving an ungodly sum of money on the table. Sell too late, and you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for your valuation. Either way, you're missing out on your maximum potential. And that’s even IF you’re able to sell your company… The stark truth is that most businesses never even make it to the negotiation table because their business is not in any way shape, or form sellable. Here are a few other 9-figure questions you need to know the answer to if you’re serious about accumulating a massive amount of generational wealth… How do you set your business up for an exit? How do you know when to sell? How do you know when you should focus on scaling? When do you start talking to buyers? How does the economy affect your exit? What are buyers even looking for in a company? If you’d like to know the answers to all of these questions… And you’d like to know the No-BS, cold-hard truths about what it takes to scale and exit a business… Stick around, you’re in the right place. --- Hi, my name is Nick Bradley, and I’m the “business hunter” as mentioned earlier. I’m Nick Bradley and for 10 years I hunted businesses for a living - a very lucrative living. It’s true, I was one of those sharks in the world of Private Equity, using every legal trick in the book to get the upper hand for the firm. After acquiring over 100 different businesses and FIVE BILLION DOLLARS OF DEALS, I can tell you without a doubt, I know the acquisition playbook like the back of my hand. To this day, I still play the same game, I just switched teams. Now I’m on your side. This is why… One night, many years ago, after a particularly brutal negotiation, I woke up in agony. I'd shattered two molars from the sheer stress. That was my first wake-up call. In the middle of a high-stakes deal, the pressure was immense. Suddenly, it hit me. The strategies I was using on my acquisition targets were affecting people like my father, a small business owner. I imagined someone doing these negotiation tactics and deal terms with my dad, and it made it all too real. I couldn't be a part of it anymore. So, I switched sides and began showing small to medium business owners how to be the prize and not the prey. Words For Exits Is he wealthy?
