Mark Collins of Mentored Business Sales talks to us about his acquisition and business sale experience where he bought an underperforming Aussie Home Loans store and built it up for sale four years later for six times his initial investment. His story offers great insights on how to turn a business around and get it into sale-ready shape.
After selling his business, Mark spent a year travelling with family before realising a greater call to fill in a need in the broking industry. The benefit of hindsight from his journey of going from being the broker to the business owner has changed the way he deals with clients now. This, of course, is valuable listening for any broker who’s looking for better ways to help their clients achieve the best return for their business.
Mark is also an advocate of getting accountants and legal advisors involved early on in order to achieve the best sale structure that drives in the best value at the end of the day. So, tune in now and don’t miss out!
