And you don't need to buy anything else from us - ever!

Take the short cut with Guy

Meet Guy Bartlett, the visionary Founder of the Business Buyers Club, a seasoned entrepreneur. With a remarkable track record, Guy has not only advised industry giants like Sainsbury’s, JD Sports, and Iceland Foods but he's also created 3 separate multi-million-pound businesses from the ground up.

Having personally successfully acquired 5 companies with over £7 million in revenues, Guy decided to share his wealth of knowledge by establishing The Business Buyers Club in 2014.

Guy's commitment to UK SMEs extends beyond mentorship, as he actively continues to invest in profitable businesses. Having grown The Club, he continues to use his direct and personal experiences. Between 2017 and 2021 he acquired a portfolio with £16 million of revenues and Club members have completed deals totalling an impressive £145 million and counting - proof that the processes he shares and teaches really work.

Better still Guy is personally still acquiring and he openly shares ALL of the latest and best techniques he personally uses with all Club members.

So now it's your turn!

With Guy Bartlett and his Network as your guide, you're not just learning; you're unlocking the opportunity to be in the top 1% of entrepreneurs

Access to off market companies for sale, with carefully coached Sellers without the "deal prevention police" we encounter all too often!

Hear From Some Of Our Community

"Guy is an incredible individual, driven, focus and results orientated. He is a very creative business person and great people person. Fun to be with and not a bad skiier either!"

Simon Zutshi

CEO Property Investors Network

"I was spending a lot of time trying to work out if it was a viable decision to purchase another similar business. Originally I sought advice from my accountant, solicitor, business coach and friends but all were pretty much sat on the fence. After a quick conversation Guy was able to come back to me with a straight to the point reason why I shouldn't buy the business along with a number of other reasons why this was a bad move.I believe Guy has saved me a lot of time and money. Thanks again Guy!"
