Road to £1M EBITDA, a dealmaker who’s scaling through acquisition the real way: by starting before he felt “ready.”

Mitch didn’t come from a traditional M&A background. No long track record, no decades of experience, no secret head start. Just the decision to learn fast, take action, and buy his first business. Since then, he’s completed a couple of acquisitions and is building real momentum toward the £1M EBITDA mark.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • How Mitch went from zero experience to closing his first deals
  • The mindset shifts that matter more than spreadsheets early on
  • What he looked for in his first acquisitions (and what he’d avoid now)
  • The messy, real-world parts of doing deals nobody posts on LinkedIn
  • How acquisition-led growth is changing his timeline, and his confidence
  • The next moves on his Road to £1M EBITDA

If you’re sitting on the sidelines thinking you need more knowledge, more capital, or more time before you can buy a business, Mitch’s story is your proof that you don’t. You just need a path and the courage to start walking it.
