Imagine buying a business for £1 and it all goes wrong. The previous owners have been paying themselves with the staff’s wages but not paying the staff. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This was the experience of my guest Charlie Norton. Charlie shares the whole story of how he went from a £1 business purchase to sinking £40k of his own money into the business just to pay off immediate debts, but that still wasn’t enough… He discusses why due diligence could have saved him from ever going through this challenging acquisition that he says left him in poor health because of the stress. He has since gone on to successfully sell his group of businesses and move on from this experience. Charlie's experiences highlight the complexities of business acquisitions and the importance of learning from failures to inform future decisions.
