In this month's (June 2009) issue of the Business Sale Report, we feature an exclusive interview with Luke Johnson, the serial entrepreneur who made his first big move with the purchase, with Hugh Osmond, of Pizza Express back in 1993 for £15 million.
Since then Luke has owned or part-owned over twenty businesses covering industries ranging from dentistry to retailing and recruitment.
In 2000, Luke set up Risk Capital partners, a private equity firm, through which he transacts most of his deals and has produced around £200m profits a year.
We'll publish the full interview later in June, but in the meantime our Business Sale Report subscribers will be able to read the full interview in the Members' area from 1st June.
Luke talks about the UK business buy/sell marketplace, how the recession is impacting upon it and how business buying and selling behaviour and activity should alter in these conditions. Certainly there are always bargains to be had, and the economic climate doesn't stop Luke from actively pursuing deals to buy niche businesses and established companies.
He also reveals his personal pick of the hot niche sectors to be looking out for great business buying opportunities over the next twelve months.
