In this episode of Talking Law, we have an episode for you that comes from our sister podcast, The Deal Room. This is actually part three of a three-part series with Matt Alderton from BX Networking. We decided to play this episode on Talking Law because it provides such great insights for business owners on Matt’s learnings on buying, starting, growing and exiting from 6 businesses - which ended in the sale of his last business for $16m to a listed entity. It also provides great insight into a topic that is not discussed anywhere near as often as it should be - the importance of failure, how to protect yourself from failure, and how to view failure in a business. We also have a rapid-fire question session with him, where we compare owning a franchise to other types of businesses, the best approach to employee retention, ways to maximise value in a business, and so much more.
