Jeremy Harbour tells his story to David Bradley about how he started as a struggling young entrepreneur buying distressed businesses for no money down (because he didn’t have any). 

It was tough. But 25 years on, Jeremy Harbour has bought, built and sold businesses around the World, including a bank. 

He now pioneers a unique investment process, Agglomeration®, which attracts institutional and family office funds into small businesses and gives investors great returns per share. 

The engine behind his ideas and growth is the Harbour Club (not to be confused with the famous Tennis Club in London), an M&A learning forum and deal making community. 

He has also written a number of books, including Agglomerate: from Idea to IPO in 12 Months, Go Do Deals and Democratising Wealth: a Pragmatic Alternative to Murdering the Rich, due out soon.In this podcast, you will discover:

• How Jeremy Harbour left school at 15 and a few years later, despite having no money, doubled his telecoms business in an afternoon through an acquisition.
• The scariest moment in his business career, caused by his youthful cockiness. (It involved bolt cutters.)
• How to buy a profitable business without upfront capital, nor debt.
• How Agglomeration® can fix the seismic, societal problem of $93 trillion dollars being controlled by large financial institutions, yet none is invested in small and medium sized businesses that drive the real economy. 
• How Agglomeration® can help successful small businesses break through the glass ceiling so they can win bigger contracts and compete – and win – against the big boys. 
• How new and unique Extra (Exchange Traded) Bonds, provide SME business sellers capital on completion as well as cheap capital for a fast acquisition growth strategy. 
• How the Harbour Club, apart from being a learning and deal-sharing community, is a hot bed for innovation that has helped bring Jeremy Harbour – along with a growing number of business owners - to where he is today.
