Learn How To Buy And Sell Businesses For No Money Down
Fact: You don’t make money running businesses. Why?
It’s a common practice to think that you have to work hard running a business to get wealthy… those that have secured real wealth are usually less operationally involved in their business so they have more time to think about the bigger picture
Out of the following people, none of them became rich from running a business… in-fact they only achieved that goal either when they sold their own businesses or acquired and sold another business…
Qualifying Leads: Discover why 500k to 5 million revenue companies are in the sweet spot for doing deals. 3 research tools for finding an endless supply of leads and how to pick the right industry (this last tip can boost your exit value by up-to 300%). – PLUS learn why London is almost always the worse place for deal hunting.
11 Psychological Triggers of a Motivated Seller: Understanding these triggers is the key to unlocking the creative deal structures that give sellers what they want, while structuring a deal for no money upfront without borrowing or debt. Once you understand these triggers, then creating a WIN-WIN deal will be effortless. – PLUS “The Perfect Storm” when 3 of these triggers are combined together, you are likely to close the deal on the spot.
Sourcing Motivated Sellers: The worst deals are the ones already listed for sale. Discover 4 unique methods for sourcing motivated sellers who want to deal on your terms (i.e. give you their equity without requiring any of your cash).
“It has been absolutely enlightening – The big part of the weekend for me is just how practical the ideas are – a lot of new tools I can use immediately.”
– Doreen & Anita
Contacting Motivated Sellers: When contacting motivated sellers what medium to use? Phone? … Email?…Business postal address? … Social media? Nope, none of the above. So what is the best method of contact? Find out on day 2.
Avoid These Businesses: Avoid businesses you cannot explain in a sentence. They are very hard to sell. It’s easier to sell boring sounding companies like air conditioning or cleaning services because more people understand them (this expands your market of potential buyers). Other things to avoid include businesses with excessive bank debentures & overhead intensive businesses (these are hard to fix and profit from).
Acquisition Gold Mine: Revealed the 4 part business sourcing process. How to qualify, contact & close a deal in 4 simple steps – PLUS discover a simple method for finding companies looking for 2nd round funding. Why would you want these leads? Because no one asks for not quite enough money to start a business, so 2nd round funding is a “code word” for fucked it up the first time and the original investors are not interested in sinking more cash into it (aka a very distressed business).
“Highly recommend the Harbour Club to any business owner who wants to build real wealth.”
– Nick James
Why should you never use accountants, insolvency practitioners, business brokers or lawyers when buying a business? – One person actually decided to attend the course after spending $20,000 on these people which resulted in him not buying a business (a very common mistake).
Accountants & lawyers are counter productive because they have an incentive to put obstacles in the way to prevent the deal from getting done. The longer it drags on the more fees they collect. This often leads to the deal falling through…
I sat next to a lawyer on a flight from Singapore to Spain once while he was talking. He worked at a company that did the legal contracts for large Merger and Acquisition deals. After talking for many hours I decided to ask him how much his company charged clients “about $100,000” he said…What do you do…download a free template off the internet and edit it? I asked half joking…his reply? “Yeah…pretty much…”
After the Harbour Club course we give you a USB with all the legal contracts and documents we use for our deals. These were custom made just for the deal types we are teaching you. These have all been battle tested and refined over the last 15 years. This will be your tool box for closing deals without needing to hire expensive lawyers.
Insolvency practitioners (IP) are usually more concerned with lining their own pockets with fees than paying back creditors…So it won’t be possible to do a no-money-down deal with them.
Forget buying the assets of a dead business at fire-sale prices from an IP. In the Harbour Club we will show you how to find a business before the IP does so you can structure a deal to acquire the assets along with the fully operational business for only $1.
Business brokers bamboozle their clients with exaggerated valuations for their business (to lure them into paying their exuberant listing fees). Once this process has taken place, it is near impossible to get the business owner to accept any reasonable price.
If you use an accountant to help you buy a business you will find they treat the buying of a business like a procurement process.
They will tend to spend a lot of time picking holes in things to try and hammer down the price (and increase the hours they can bill you for) this will destroy any rapport you built up with the potential seller. Rapport is everything, why hammer down the price when you can buy it for $1?
With the Harbour Club strategies you will discover how to buy a business without risking any money (well…not any more than $1 anyway). More importantly, you will be able to do it without needing to pay any of the 4 people mentioned above.
“The most amazing business course – completely changed the way I think about how to run a business and do business – Highly recommend it to anyone!”

Negotiation Secrets: Don’t buy any more books on negotiation because Jeremy’s method of negotiation works for closing 6-7 figure deals, and it can be learnt in 20 minutes or less.
Deal Making Mindset: Discover how to slingshot your deal closing rate by up-to 500% by simply using this unique Harbour Club approach. It’s as easy as changing your mindset (hint: it’s the opposite of what everybody else does when approaching an acquisition).

I Hate Due-Diligence: It’s expensive, boring & time consuming…but necessary right?

Find out how on day 2.

– Mohsin Patel
WIN-WIN Deals: Discover how to use the Harbour Club negotiation tactics to figure out the sellers motivations (what they really want). Then use the Harbour Club deal structuring strategies to give it to them without using any capital or debt.
Case Study: How one man’s wife wanting to turn his home office into a nursery landed Jeremy an entire IT company for £1 and how one simple tweak doubled its turnover in 12 months…the best bit? Creative deal structuring…how he then used it as currency to buy a majority shareholding in a much larger IT firm.
Merger Strategies: An often overlooked but very simple and flexible strategy. Discover how you can use one of your no money down deals as currency to buy an equity stake in a much larger business. How to use it as a succession planning tool, or simply just build a much larger business and use a stock market listing as an exit.
Deal Structures: Forget everything you learnt about deal structures from your MBA. These rely heavily on debt. Discover 9 new ways to get more leverage in a deal that does not require any cash or borrowing.
“What I learnt absolutely blew me a way – you are going to learn some awesome techniques you would never have guessed about!”
– Tom Crisp
Keeping with the crack analogy, often the solution to a crack epidemic is not to go get more crack…the same can be said for business debt.
There is no need to take on debt with the Harbour Club strategies, but we feel the course would not be complete without a mini crash course on the 7 types of leverage that most businesses use to fix short-term cash flow issues.
Bonus Sourcing Tip : If you do lead generation for any of these 7 types of leverage you will probably find some good motivated sellers in those lists (you can sell the leads too) Want an example? – 1 of these 7 types of finance is invoice factoring. Setting up a marketing campaign to generate leads for invoice factoring means you could sell the leads to an invoice factoring company and make a small profit, and be left with a nice list of distressed businesses to approach.

“It is an excellent course – I highly recommend it. This is not some text book accountancy by numbers kind of thing or a run of the mill learning… this is nitty gritty, spit and sawdust real world stuff. This is how it is done. Real businesses, real problems and how to fix them.”
– Karl Whitfield
Why Fire Your Best Sales People? : Find out how cutting your sales and marketing team might not only make your business more profitable but actually increase its value when it comes time to sell.

Compete Clause: How to stop the previous business owners from stealing your best staff & customers and going into direct competition with you? Use a “Non-Compete Clause” right? – Nope…let me explain… “Non-Compete Clauses” don’t work anymore, they are a violation of human rights under EU law…and to enforce one requires going to the high court (which will cost £60,000+ and you will probably lose). So what is the solution? Discover one simple strategy & get your hands on a proven contract template you can use that will leave you secretly wishing they do steal your customers.
Trade Secrets: Private equity companies use convertible loans (which can be converted into shares at a time of your choosing) because you have more control legally over the company when it owes you money… But, how to use them to guarantee that you get paid from your deals?

“Steve Edwards – Fantastic location, Fantastic food & Fantastic company. I am really impressed with Jeremy’s approach. The techniques are unique. I am going to use 1 or 2 of the strategies right away as soon as I get back home. I really recommend the course”
– Steve Edwards
Cash Flow Metrics : People don’t understand the relationship between cash and profit. The truth is that there is none. Being able to measure cash-flow in a business (not profit) is vital to keep a business healthy, but no such metric or KPI (key performance indicator) seems to exist. Jeremy invented “cash flow metrics” to help measure and improve cash flow. Learn how to unlock the cash hidden in your balance sheet.

“James & Moran – There are a lot of things we learnt here” “My favourite bit was about how to buy a bank with no money and I wished I had known that years ago” “If you are ever thinking of coming to the Harbour Club then don’t even think twice just come here”
– James & Moran
Learning from Mistakes : A wise man learns from his mistakes. A genius learns from other peoples. Case Study: How Jeremy turned one of the first businesses he acquired (a call centre) with a £300,000 hole in the balance sheet into a £150,000 profitable company with a contract with the largest insurance company in the world…then lost it…and sold it for £1… Using the latest Harbour Club course strategies he could have turned that into a 7 figure deal instead of a 1 figure deal. Learn to avoid making this mistake to create a shortcut to your first 7 figure deal.
IPO Windfall Exit Strategy : When selling your company privately, you’ll be lucky to get 2-5 times its yearly profit. If you’re large enough you could use an IPO to exit your shares for up-to 15 times profit. This is an advanced strategy. Jeremy will give you case studies of IPO’s he has worked on.

“Keith Nixon – I am a chartered accountant with an MBA, I have learnt how to create massive wealth for both others and myself from this course, I would certainly recommend it.”
– Keith Nixon
Selling is Buying: Discover 7 ways to source buyers for your business (not including business brokers). Selling a business is a bit like buying one in reverse (so you can re-use a lot of the same tactics from buying one) most importantly you can use the same due-diligence file you produced when buying the business in the first place.
How to Guarantee You Get Paid: When selling a business most deals include some kind of deferral but what is wrong with this model? It very rarely gets paid… Why? Because it implies some kind of warranty and is very hard legally to enforce. It requires going to the high court which will cost $60,000+ and even then you might not win. How to make sure you get paid every penny you are promised and if they don’t pay, how to legally regain control of the company so you can sell it again? Find out in the financial engineering section of the course on day 2.
The Exit – Who is your best customer? Your best customer is the person who buys your business.

“Martin Norbury – My business helps other businesses scale, one area that was lacking was experience in the SME market for exiting the business. This has been my main take away from the course. This has been an amazing 3 days. Come out here and join Jeremy to see for yourself”
– Martin Norbury
A lot of new case studies have been added to the Harbour Club, here is a sneak peak at six new 7 figure deal strategies recently field tested and added to the course:
How to Buy a Bank Without Using any Money : Discover how Jeremy bought a bank in America with a hundred million in assets… For no money upfront (without debt) – PLUS find out how to structure a 100% risk free deal like this yourself. There are more than 7,000 banks in the US… Globally many thousands more… They all have the same fundamental challenges that Jeremy will show you how to solve.
IPO Exit Strategy: The two big drivers for a company valuation are scale and liquidity (ability to buy and sell shares easily). Discover how to correctly structure an IPO to achieve compound growth in these two areas as quickly as possible.
Back Door Listing: An IPO is expensive… Unless you use this little known method. Discover how to do an IPO for 80% less than going through an investment bank or corporate finance company. By using this sneaky (but perfectly legal) back door route to a main market listing.
Virtual Roll-Up 2.0: The same concept as 1.0 (how to buy and sell multiple companies in one deal for 7 figures without even having to own them)… – However a lot has been added to the virtual roll-up strategy recently (from ideas Jeremy has tested out in the field) – For example, a new approach to corporate management and management for generation Y – PLUS a great way to create big companies fast… All this with well established market leading profitable companies (rather than distressed).
https://www.harbourclubevents.com/virtual-mergers/
Going Global: How to do more cross-border, multi-jurisdiction deals so you are not left at the mercy of your local economy. Time to diversify and protect yourself against geopolitical risk.
Jurisdiction Arbitrage: Jurisdiction arbitrage and the IPO inversion strategy… This is all about using global solutions to maximise value… – An example of one of the many deal types in this category is: 1) Finding an established UK company and 2) Acquiring businesses from emerging markets under its name. Why? – Because a company in the UK gets a better valuation than a company in Asia, but a company in Asia has much easier profits than the UK… So put them together and you get a UK company doing well in Asia that you can sell for over 500% more than you could if they were separate. (Case studies included).

Dear Jeremy, I hope you are well.
I wanted to thank you again for organising the session last weekend, I took an awful lot from it and found it enormously valuable.
I have just come out of my first merger meeting with a competing coworking space. I listened, I understood their needs I showed them how a merger would fix all their problems and sold them on all the other potential synergies we could work on afterwards. I got them to imagine the press release announcing the merger and the effect it would have on the industry. I got them to see how it would overcome a huge challenge for our industry which is the barrier to exit (eyes lit up at that point). I also introduced a surprise element they didn’t know about which is the potential for the next merger after this one and how I’m the only person who could make it happen. I left them really excited and energised about the prospect. We are meeting to draft a deal next Tuesday.
The other party’s comments were 1. “gosh you really are wise beyond your years” and 2. after I told them I would send them a list of questions to complete before the next meeting so we had some terms of reference “You really have put a lot of thought into this” and 3. when we were shaking hands and parting ways “What a fantastic meeting. I’m really looking forward to Tuesday”
I didn’t know how to structure it until this weekend. He didn’t have a single point of contention to the SPV/holding company the structure, in fact to any of it – He just left feeling fantastic.
I just wanted to let you know I was actioning and that it was working really well.
Thanks again.
PS – Not quite the fastest but 4 days isn’t too shabby!
Kind regards,
Jonathan O’Byrne

Just a quick thanks – the weekend was awesome. Really worthwhile!
Jeremy was just fantastic, and the info he shared was really smart but put into really actionable steps which should make it easy to make some of the stuff actually happen. I’m already setting some wheels in motion and hope to have done some deals over the coming months.
If ever you need any testimonials or anyone to pass potential attendees onto for references etc I’m happy to do so.
Also just a side point in all the marketing and his online presence Jeremy comes across as a completely different person than he is in ‘real life’ – before the course I wasn’t really convinced the support was there and how much he’d really care, but having met him and heard his story, seeing he’s a really genuine guy and has an amazing back story and ‘why’ etc wish I’d known that before as it would have made committing far easier – sure I’m not the only one, so thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks again

– James Hadly
Thank you Jeremy!
Your 4-step process to closing 6-7 figures deals really proves it is far better to work at your business than in your business. Awesome, fully packed course, even added with continuing practical support after the course. On top of all: the agglomeration model, a super wealth creating strategy for SME. Already implementing all learned in real world!

– Mohsin Patel
To sum up the course one of the most practical and authentically delivered courses I have ever been on. Jeremy tells it warts and all so that you understand the processes and also the reality of making the changes. For someone that is looking to change their career like myself this really opened up my eyes to a new way of looking at business and a way to practically make money. Don’t be embarrassed to say you want to make money resonates. The people I met were outstanding and took part in a way that I found to be truly motivating. I am one day off the course and we have already challenged each other as to next steps with some throwing down the gauntlet and all ready to help one another. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone and suggest dust off the old accounts book and read before you attend.

As I was watching this video I realised that I never updated my harbour club group (Oct 2016) about the deals I did later on, so just thought I’d shoot you a quick summary, maybe useful for future marketing of the program.
My company creamfinance.com (online consumer loans) bought a distressed consumer lender in Mexico (paid EUR80k, got a trading licence, client data base and tax shield worth EUR70k)
We bought a small profitable consumer lender in Spain, this was not a distressed investment but more an acquisition of company which gives me access to a very important market (paid EUR1mil equity, refinanced their EUR0.5mil debt, in return got EUR1.8mil annual revenue with potential to scale 5-10X)
So again thanks for the course, I will drop by at the London event next year, hope to see you there mate!

Lets look at the case study of Craig Boddington – How did Craig buy his first business for £1?
Craig joined the Harbour Club after coming from a consultancy background in helping companies that were merging to integrate their systems.
He was only earning £300,000 a year at that time and realised that he was selling his time for money there was not much room for improvement without more stress.
He also felt that he was not really his own boss as he could not just get up at what ever time he felt like, he was contracted in to do the job.
Craig saw Jeremy speak at a business event, and decided that the Harbour Club sounded like the thing for him.
Before boarding the private jet on the way back from the Spanish island of Mallorca where Harbour Club training was being held, he decided to send off an email to all his outlook contacts.
By the time the plane had landed he already had two leads to chase up, and using the methods taught in the Harbour Club found two more.
Within two weeks from the moment that jet hit the tarmac, Craig had done his first deal where he had bought a company for £1 and sold it for a staggering £250,000 not bad for two weeks work in the middle of a learning curve.
Before it had taken him nearly all year to make that kind of money. In the following 18 months he had managed to close a total of 8 deals buying each company for £1 and managed to flip 6 of them for a 6 figure sum each.
He is now one of Jeremy’s business partners and helps coach and mentor other Harbour Club students to help them achieve the same results that he has managed to achieve using Jeremy’s methods.
“Dan Priestley – I loved the first Harbour Club, it was brilliant! We bought and sold a fairly substantial technology company all within 10 months which was a game changing deal!”
– Dan Priestley
“I did a deal using no payment at all”

Jeremy
Just like to say a big thank you for sharing your experiences and teaching me about doing deals.
I came back from the course feeling like I was on a cloud. I have already arranged a meeting to make an offer on my first acquisition £14.5m t/o logistics company.
They are keen to sell to me and I’m going to make an offer next week. I am also working on an offer for a £300m t/o Global logistics company and I am in discussions with the Vice President who is onboard with my idea. He will become the President once I take over. I am in the process of raising funds.
I wouldn’t of done any of this without doing the Harbour Club it was the best thing I ever did. Thank you so much.
Kind Regards
