Where sales go wrong.
The wrong price
A number from a rule of thumb, not from the margin, the cash and what a buyer can finance
Not ready
Accounts that do not reconcile, a lease with two years left, a business that only runs when you are there
The wrong buyers
A public listing, tyre-kickers, staff and competitors finding out before anything is agreed
Losing it at the end
Due diligence, price chips and earn-outs negotiated by the side with less practice
What Jamie does.
- Valuation
- The real margin, the cash the business throws off, what a buyer can borrow against it, and a range you can hold in a negotiation.
- Made ready
- The sixty to ninety days of fixes that add to the price: clean numbers, the lease, the licences, the team and the operations guide.
- Buyers, privately
- Buyers approached one at a time under a non-disclosure agreement, from a network built as a partner in one of Mallorca's largest restaurant groups and across 350+ businesses advised.
- The deal
- Offers compared, due diligence managed, the price defended through to completion, working with your lawyer and accountant.
- How it starts
- A free WhatsApp chat with Jamie, in any language. No commission on the sale price, no equity, no success fee. Mutual NDA from the first message.
Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

What people said.
Word for word. Some names left out: discretion is part of the work.
“Working with Jamie changed our whole trajectory and growth.”
“I worked with Jamie on our funding round. Excellent results.”
“This has been a brilliant service, we fixed some fundamental problems with the narrative and the output was fantastic. Highly recommend working with Jamie.”
“I chose to partner with [Jamie's team] as they have a proven track record in ensuring that those who commence or complete fundraising actually achieve it.”
“Jamie, you don't talk about your services ever, they are really great, and can help lots of people.”
“The best pitch deck I've ever seen.”
Questions owners ask.
How much is my business worth?
Usually a multiple of its sustainable profit, adjusted for how dependent it is on you, the lease or licence, the quality of the numbers and what a buyer can finance. Rules of thumb are a starting point; the valuation is built from your accounts, and it comes with the reasons a buyer will accept it.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Plan for six to twelve months: one to three to get ready, two to four to find and qualify buyers, and two to four from offer to completion. A business that is ready before it goes to market sells faster and for more.
Do you take a commission?
No. Jamie charges a fixed fee agreed up front, takes no commission or success fee and no equity, and does not act as a broker or an estate agent. You keep the whole price.
Will my staff and customers find out?
Not from the sale process. Nothing is listed publicly, buyers are approached one at a time and sign a non-disclosure agreement before they see the business, and Jamie works under a mutual NDA with you.
Which businesses?
Restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, retail, leisure and technology businesses, in Mallorca, across Spain and in the UK. Calls run by video; working days in Mallorca by arrangement.
Nine Bar does not give regulated financial, legal or tax advice. Your lawyer and accountant complete the sale; Jamie works alongside them.
One chat. Every part of the business.
Money, marketing, websites, buying and selling. One person accountable for all of it.
Bring the
hard problem.
No call to book. Message Jamie on WhatsApp, in any language: the business and the decision in front of you.
