CEO, Marla Investments

I am an entrepreneur and investor and I have bought and sold a few businesses in the last 15 years, each time exiting after growth and a substantial increase in the value of the business. I now acquire businesses that are looking to exit but don’t like the normal process of selling a company.

Because I have been on both sides of a deal, I really believe in the emotional values of businesses and the legacy that SME owners create. Did you know that most businesses sell for 84% of their asking price and business owners are left disillusioned and frustrated by the process of selling their businesses and are disappointed by the price achieved. I aim to change that by working directly with like minded owners and making their needs and their emotional value, integral and crucial to the selling process so that they can leave a legacy as well as maximize a return. When I buy a business it is really important to me that anyone who has put their blood and sweat into building it feels like they have won as well.

I aim to change that by working directly with likeminded owners and making their needs and their emotional value, integral and crucial to the selling process so that they can leave a legacy as well as maximize their return. I want them to tell me what they think their legacy is and what it is worth to them.
If you want the Emotional Value of your business to be considered as you exit or if you just want to chat without any obligation, contact me on the email above, message me, visit my website or leave a comment. We can work together to figure out how you can move forward with your plans but still rest assured that what you have built has value and will last.
