When buying a business, deal structure matters.

Choose the wrong approach, and you could face unexpected liabilities, additional costs, complicated paperwork and unnecessary disruption.

In this episode, Martin Godfrey Legido explains the key differences between an asset purchase and a share purchase, including:

🔹 Why buying shares can offer a smoother transition when acquiring an established company.
🔹 When an asset purchase may be the better option.
🔹 The importance of understanding liabilities, valuations, legal requirements and tax implications before committing.
🔹 Why the right structure depends on the business and the circumstances of the deal.

There is no one-size-fits-all; understanding your options before signing helps you make a more informed acquisition decision.

A seller's explanation is a starting point, not a substitute for evidence.

If a business is described as profitable or growing, take the time to understand the financial records behind those claims.

Review performance over time, investigate unusual figures and consider how dependent the business is on particular customers or individuals.

The objective isn't to assume the worst. It's to make an informed decision.

The best deals are rarely the ones everyone's bidding on. 📡

While most buyers compete for the same listed businesses on broker sites, the smartest acquirers are finding opportunity somewhere else entirely — under the radar businesses that aren't actively for sale.

No bidding wars. No inflated asking prices. No competing against ten other buyers for the same deal.
These are owners who haven't listed, haven't told the market they're ready to sell, but might be open to the right conversation, the right offer, the right exit plan.

Finding them takes a different approach than scrolling listings — direct outreach, relationship-building, and knowing exactly what you're looking for before you start.
That's often where the real value is.

Earnouts are becoming more common in M&A deals — and for good reason. 💡

They help bridge the gap when buyer and seller see different value in the business, and they keep sellers invested in a smooth transition. But getting the structure right is everything.

No one buys a business alone. 🤝

Behind every successful acquisition is a team working quietly in the background:
⚖️ Legal Advisors — protecting you from contracts and clauses that could cost you later. 📊 Consultants — helping you see past the numbers to what's really going on.
🤝 Brokers — connecting you to opportunities you'd never find on your own
🧭 Mentors — guiding your decisions when the pressure's on

Trying to go it alone is how deals fall apart — or worse, go through when they shouldn't.

The right team doesn't slow you down. It's what makes the deal actually work.

Thinking about becoming a business owner? Starting from scratch isn't your only option.

Acquiring an established business could give you access to existing customers, a team and established operations. The key is understanding what you're buying and whether it fits your goals.

It's worth exploring before deciding your next move.
