Marks Morning Business Show March 5th 2026

Most business deals don’t start in a boardroom.They start with a cup of coffee.This morning on my daily show I talked about how deals actually begin when you're looking to buy a business.People often think acquisitions start with lawyers, accountants, and formal negotiations.But the reality is very different.Many deals start with a simple conversation.Years ago, when I bought one of my businesses, the entire deal started with a cup of coffee and an offer of €100,000.To be honest, it was a mad, stupid offer.But it did one very important thing.It started the conversation.That conversation eventually turned into a €5 million deal.The lesson?You don’t need the perfect offer. You don’t need the perfect timing.You just need the courage to start the conversation.If you're thinking about buying a business or doing deals, remember:Many opportunities begin with something simple…A coffee and a conversation.Mark Beggs is a dyslexic entrepreneur, author, and business mentor with over 30 years of experience in business.
