This week, we take you behind the scenes of one of Jonathan Jay’s exclusive Zoom coffee mornings — a live, unscripted Q&A session where aspiring business buyers put their real-world questions directly to one of the UK’s most experienced dealmakers.
No slides. No fluff. Just straight-talking, practical answers from Jonathan on everything from company structure and personal guarantees to due diligence, PGs, investor myths, tax efficiency, and how to avoid wasting months of your life chasing the wrong advice.
Highlights include:
✅ Do you need a Board of Directors? (Spoiler: probably not)
✅ The 3 essentials to protect yourself in a deal: Structure, no PGs, and due diligence
✅ The truth about “cash-free, debt-free” sales
✅ Why most sellers have never heard of these terms — and why that helps you
✅ Should you integrate or isolate a newly acquired business?
✅ How long should deferred payments last — and what’s changed post-Covid?
✅ What to do when a seller refuses to show financials
✅ How to break the “motivated buyer” mindset and regain leverage
✅ Can you really buy a business in the UK as a foreign national? (Yes — and here’s how)
Jonathan also shares powerful real-world stories from Mastermind clients — including a primary school teacher who closed a £1M profit deal in a new industry — proving that background and credentials matter less than mindset and method.
