Joanna’s book is a gold mine of practical, down-to-earth information and application of concepts used in the business world, often not understood by small business owners. If you want to grow, acquisition is a great way to do that and a true wealth builder. To avoid the trips and traps – no matter what stage you’re at with your business – Joanna’s book is a “must read”.

Joanna Oakey and Aspect Legal have supported the Australian business sale industry and our association (AIBB) for many years. Her thought leadership and pragmatic advice reflects her [Joanna’s] experience dealing with SME businesses and their owners, and contributes not only to the professionalism of our brokers, but the Australian M&A and business sale sector more broadly.
Dale Beaumont –
This book is entrepreneurship at the next level and I applaud Joanna Oakey for putting it all together. There is so much wisdom, strategy and so many secrets in here. Seriously for the cost of a pub dinner, it can be yours and you can use it to make millions. Now that’s a good deal.

Joanna Oakey is a proven leader in the Australian SME legal space. A book that captures her deep experience and passion for working with owners across all aspects of M&A work, is something every business owner should have in their hands.
Glen Carlson –
Completing four successful acquisitions didn’t just double our revenue, it doubled our multiple. None of these deals required any cash or debt which, more than any other deal I’ve done made me realise that while value is created serving customers, wealth is created in the deal room. Joanna is a master – read this book and read it again.
Andrew Griffiths –
Rarely have I come across such an extraordinarily comprehensive book that details three key stages of a business – buying, growing
and exiting. Joanna Oakey clearly has a great deal of knowledge and expertise as well as a very practical approach to maximising oppor-
tunity in every stage. To me, this is a book that all business owners need to read and keep close, using it as a valuable resource. A very
impressive book.
