How I bought a distressed events company with 3.5 million turnover for £1
My life changed dramatically when I bought a competitor in the telecom industry for £1.
As a result of this deal, we grew by a year’s worth of sales in one afternoon.
And in this letter, you’re about learn how you can do the same too.
My name is Jeremy Harbour, and for the past two decades, I’ve bought and sold over 100 companies in many different industries.
I negotiated nearly all of these deals for close to zero cash upfront (Often just £1)… without getting into debt or using other people’s money.
These companies were in industries like telecom, IT, air conditioning, furniture manufacturing, seminar events, music schools, marketing, property services, engineering and many more.
When I negotiated each deal, I rarely used lawyers or accountants, Except for my IPO deals. My most recent being a company called “MBH Corporation PLC”. It is listed on the Frankfurt stock market.
Now, I didn’t get to this point by magic. I’m just a normal person like you.
So the question is: How did I secure deals where companies were happy to accept £1 upfront?
Let me explain:
The Financial Shortcut That Changed
My Life (And Income) Forever
In 1997, at 23 years of age, I started a telecoms company with £50. I bought business cards and used the money from my first sale to buy a computer.
It was a bootstrapped business.
Several years later, once I had decent success, competitors knocked on my door with offers to buy me out.
Week after week, I talked to potential buyers as they pitched me their deals.
Some meetings were better than others but they all had one thing in common: they all offered no money upfront.
Instead, they offered benefits down the track. Solutions that ironed out my cash flow, dealt with staff, found new customers and provided me capital to grow.
I was tempted. Somehow they pushed hot buttons I didn’t know I had!
It was at this moment I had a thought…
“Maybe I should try and acquire a business for no money down, just like these companies are attempting to do!”
Why You Need To Tune Into “Deal FM”
If you want to tune in to a particular station, you need to know the frequency it’s on.
Looking back, there were deals right under my nose everywhere, but sadly, I wasn’t tuned into the right frequency. I wasn’t tuned into “deal FM.”
After realizing this, I turned my focus to acquisition.
My first deal was actually a lot smaller than I now recommend beginners to target but it’s worth sharing the story.
I discovered a 13 year old mobile phone retailer in Slough, with a majority of business customers (one of their customers was Nintendo).
It was a perfect fit.
With 1,000 active mobile phone lines all on Cellnet (Later rebranded as O2), this was a lucrative deal for us.
Individually, each client was worth £165 due to a new customer commision offered by Vodafone. Therefore, once each user switched over, the deal was worth £165,000 to us (He was unaware of this fact).
However, the owner had one huge problem he couldn’t shake.
His lease was about to expire.
Relocating the business would cost him £70,000 yet he’d only make £12,000 per year by renewing his contracts for Cellnet.
Not an ideal situation.
He also made much more money renovating terrace houses. He converted them into two separate apartments and made around £60k profit per project.
If he could just free up his time, he could dedicate more time to that venture.
In a way, I was lucky.
The telecoms industry is famously low margin and capital intensive, I ran my own business hand to mouth, so I didn’t have the cash to offer him.
I tried to source funds from friends, family and investors but to no avail. As is quite common, he wanted at least some cash upfront. First, he wanted £15K, then £10K, and once his deadline loomed, he asked for just £2.5K.
I figured I’d find someone to lend me 2.5K… but I just couldn’t scrape it together.
The day the bulldozers turned up at his office, I signed the contract to buy his company for £1.
The deal offered no cash upfront but I paid him instalments as we switched his customers over to our business.
Driving back to the office, I had an epiphany that day.
I just grew my company by a year’s worth of sales in one afternoon and I didn’t use any cash to do it.
It was a game changer.
And that’s when I had my biggest business breakthrough…
The Wealth Secret
No One Talks About
Never again would I ever start a company from scratch when I could simply buy an existing company.
I was hooked.
I realised I could run the last 10 yards in a marathon and still win the trophy!
For the next 18 months I went on an empire building rampage. I bought 12 companies that together generated £13.5 million turnover and had over 100 employees.
This might sound impressive, but in reality it was an absolute nightmare to run. My days were punctuated by emergencies and problems at each business. Each month I simply stayed a float, surviving one payroll to the next.
Several months later I sold one of these companies. That’s when I learned one of the most valuable wealth building secrets of my life:
You don’t make money running companies, you make money selling them.
I soon learnt a painful lesson from one of the companies I had decided to keep. I had a small call centre business that made about £200,000 profit per quarter.
I kept the business because it had a very lucrative long term contract with the world’s largest insurance provider (AIG).
In hindsight, that was the perfect reason to sell it. The new buyer would have loved that.
However, this was just before they famously ran into the financial problems that lead to their bankruptcy.
I could have sold the company for millions but instead sold it for £1.
The lesson learnt? The best time to sell a company is now.
Any reasons you can give me about why you should keep it, are exactly the same reasons you should sell.
For the next 20 years, I dedicated my life to buying and selling companies. To date, I’ve completed over 100 deals.
I bought and sold many businesses. Many were a raging success, while others were learning experiences.
However, it was my 12th deal – the one I mentioned at the beginning of this letter – that changed everything.
How I Bought A 3.5 Million Revenue
Seminar Company For £1 Upfront
Back in 2010, two Australian business partners flew to the UK to sell their struggling seminar company.
Their UK business generated sales but hemorrhaged so much cash that the Australia parent company was fed up constantly bailing them out.
They gave themselves two weeks to secure a deal.
Their asking price: £300,000.
Surprisingly, two of the competitors they pitched knew me. They didn’t want to buy but said, “You should speak to Jeremy, he buys companies.”
I met them both on a Wednesday.
After looking at the business, I noticed it wasn’t worth £300,000. It broke the golden rule of business: have more money coming in than going out.
Generally, the seminar training space is a high profit industry. Therefore, it was clear that their problem was bad cash flow management.
They didn’t have accounts or forecasts, In fact, it would be impossible to sell the business to anyone else. There was no way they would pass any form of due diligence from a potential buyer.
With two successful businesses back in Australia, their UK subsidiary was just becoming a big pain in the arse for them.
They were motivated to sell before they flew home. And so…
I Made An Offer
They Couldn’t Refuse
The clock was ticking.
With 2 days until they flew back to Australia, the owners were keen to sell.
They couldn’t even provide the information needed to make a deal happen. However, I noticed that this trip was the one thing they hung their hopes on.
So here’s what I said:
“Give me a 60% stake in the company now for £1 with the option to buy the other 40% for £300,000 once I fixed the problems.
They agreed.
I pressed the pen to paper and signed my name.
They did the same.
I held the contract in my hands. I looked down at the paper with excitement.
I did it.
I had just bought my largest company to date.
I just bought 60% of a company with 3.5 million turnover for £1.
All outgoing payments had to be frozen while we did the due diligence to make sure we were not preferring any creditors over others. After 30 days, the company even had £300,000 cash in the bank!
I rang Dan Priestly and thanked him for the referral. That’s when he said, “So how much did you pay for it?”
“£1”, I said, “That’s what I always pay for companies.”
“Really? I would have bought it for £1! I really need to learn this stuff!”
How I Made My Strategies
Available To Entrepreneurs
The events company I bought for £1 ran an 800 person multi-speaker event and they invited me to give a talk. I did a presentation on how to buy companies with no money down deals.
The result? Hoards of people asked me to consult, mentor or sit on their board of directors in a non-executive position.
I declined.
But I came up with an idea.
Rather than consult and help four or five people, I created a training program to help anyone buy and sell companies. As long as they had determination, drive and a phone, they could do it.
And that’s how…

A Flood Of Cutting Edge Advice
You Won’t Find Anywhere
Each time I host The Harbour Club, I share new and exciting discoveries.
For example, I recently discovered a ‘restructure’ strategy that I used to turn around an engineering company.
The business had a £600,000 turnover but made a loss. Thanks to my new strategy, within 30 days, it made £100,000 profit without firing staff or cutting expenses.
This new approach to structure a company is now part of The Harbour Club training.
Plus, you’ll discover my experiment to legally remove debt from a business without using an insolvency process so the directors, staff and customers are totally unaffected by the unmanageable debts of the company.
The Harbour Club is a constantly evolving system. You only get the most cutting edge strategies.
Proven Methods That Build
Real Wealth For Real People
The Harbour Club is serious training for serious entrepreneurs who want to create true wealth.
But let’s get one thing straight:
I can’t guarantee you’ll make any money with these strategies. That could be dishonest and misleading. I don’t know your work ethic. If you don’t take action and do anything with the information, you won’t get any results.
What I can guarantee is that real people have achieved real results by actually implementing my strategies. They work.
Here are some of their stories:
The Greatest Investment
You Can Ever Make
Today, there are countless opportunities for you to build wealth.
Heck, McDonalds is a proven franchise system that charges £325,000 to buy a single store!
However, your investment in The Harbour Club is nowhere near this investment.
In fact, the Harbour Club is more affordable than a lawyer or accountant who “might” help you secure a deal the traditional way.
Truth is, if you engaged a lawyer or corporate finance team to help you source and acquire a business, you would have to put down at least £10,000 upfront.
Plus, thousands more over the lifetime of your deal.
In comparison, The Harbour Club teaches you how to acquire businesses without the need to use these professionals at all!
Some students told us they spent over £20,000 using traditional methods and still didn’t secure a business for all their money, time and effort.
Yet you won’t pay anywhere near that.
In fact, you can take advantage of a payment plan to invest in The Harbour Club for just £297 per month.
The greatest investment you can make is in yourself.
And this is a drop in the bucket compared to the value you get in return.

- The Truth about Redundancy: It’s not as bad as you think…revealed: “The unfair dismissal myth” – PLUS why redundancy might be shockingly cheaper than you expect.
- Cash Flow Metrics: People don’t understand the relationship between cash and profit. The truth is that there is none.

- Selling is Buying: Discover 7 ways to source buyers for your business (not including business brokers).

- 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.

How To Close 7 Figure Deals

- 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).
- 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).
