In this episode, Dan is interviewed by Julie Whitmore from Your Property Network. He talks to Julie about his business model that he uses to build success time and time again for failing business acquisitions. Listen in to hear Dan talk about why focusing on businesses in decline for your acquisitions can be a great way to diversify your portfolio, create long-term financial gain and actually decrease various risk-factors. He delves deep into which things to focus on when doing your due diligence and research and how to ensure the right choice of acquisition. He also talks about real-life acquisitions he has done providing a case study to give context for his methods.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• One of core things Dan looks for with business acquisitions is for an opportunity for alternative use or different demand in a failing business. As this is a great way to buy a business and successfully turn it around.
• Buying a failing business that also owns its own commercial real estate is a very good opportunity. You just need to ensure that you have the right education and have run all the right numbers to make the best deal.
• When considering commercial conversion into residential, it's worth bearing in mind the difficulties we have faced in the past two years with the pandemic. Making studio apartments for example, is less risky than a HMO.
• Dan's method is sector specific, it's about failing businesses. It can be applied anywhere, regardless of location.
• When buying a failing business, a lease option with an MBO can give you room to put the longer-term plan into place.
• Long-term thinking is a big part of Dan's methods success. It decreases the risk of the project as well as providing a cumulative capital gain across the years.
• It possible to pay for a planning officer to work on your major application, this is especially helpful at the moment because planning departments are so behind because of the pandemic. This saves you a lot of frustration and will allow things to happen and move forward much quicker.
• The simple act of buying failing businesses with owned commercial property is that when you separate them, you're forcing capital appreciation which means you are de-risking the whole project.
