Go Do Deals: The Complete Entrepreneur's Guide to Buying & Selling Businesses Successfully | Business Acquisition Strategies for Startups & Investors

Singapore author Jeremy Harbour is an esteemed expert on Mergers and Acquisitions and is in demand around the world for speaking engagements and workshops. He is the founder of Unity Group, a firm specializing in attracting investments and creating opportunities of small to medium sized enterprises, and Harbour Club, where he teaches real tactics for buying, fixing, and selling businesses. His books to date – WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY A COMPANY THAT’S FOR SALE, AGGLOMERATE: FROM IDEA TO IPO IN 12 MONTHS, GO DO!, and now GO DO DEALS: THE ENTREPRENEUR’S GUIDE TO BUYING & SELLING BUSINESSES.A glimpse at Jeremy’s depth of knowledge and wit is evident in a Preface where he defines his reasons for starting his Harbour Club: ‘Our closed social network holds regular meetups, chat groups, and video conferences to share our experiences. But I don’t make my money selling training. I make my money doing deals. I am a deal junkie first and foremost, and the Harbour Club is my network of dealmakers…Our best dealmakers take natural leadership positions, sharing their stories and experiences, and helping people get deals done…I believe that an acquisition is the only way a business can double its size “in an afternoon” and sometimes the only way it can grow to the next level…A solid plan to become one of the larger players is to mop up a number of smaller companies to give you a quick scale…’With that energetic opening, Jeremy launches into his recommendations of buying and selling business by offering examples from his own history in business, thus punctuating the valid (and very enviable!) points he makes. His thought processes are clearly stated in the four parts of the book – Why you should Go Do Deals, Where you find he Deals to Go Do, How you Do the Deals, and What to Do after you’ve Done the Deal. As he has stated, ‘Wealthy entrepreneurs can solve the most significant problems, unlike struggling entrepreneurs. Wealth should not be exclusive. Participation in good business creates jobs and that should be rewarded. This concept gets me out of bed in the morning. I’m living proof of what I preach/.’Impressive, eye opening, and most of all, compassionate, this book underlines Jeremy Harbour’s passion to empower entrepreneurs and to help democratize wealth in a meritocratic way! Highly recommended. Grady Harp, December 20
