Have you ever thought about acquisition through joint ventures? Having the right infrastructure and information is key to make this work. In this episode Adam Lawrence talks about his successes and failures in joint ventures as well as why people should consider the joint venture option.

Adam has acquired more than a dozen limited companies including trading businesses, asset-backed businesses and has companies that support the property sourcing and management process. The investment group has been built around a joint-venture model. The group balance sheet is approaching £50m in assets, with a loan-to-value under 60%. The trading businesses have an EBITDA that runs into 7 figures. The central tenets are risk management and sustainable growth in a sector which is crying out for reform, efficiency, and ethical business people.
