About Jon Stoddard

In just the last 12 months, I’ve had the privilege of helping 5 people turn their aspirations into real, measurable results. Tom had been spinning his wheels, looking at business after business for two years without getting close to closing. He needed a way to spot the deals that were worth pursuing. Together, we reviewed 13 deals, and on the 14th, we found it—a 20-year-old security company with rock-solid profits and financing potential. With my guidance, Tom made the offer, raised the financing, and closed the deal. Henry was staring at a $27 million acquisition but didn’t know where to start with raising the capital. Using my network and introductions, we put together a funding strategy. The result? Henry successfully closed on the deal of a lifetime. John was a natural at finding deals but struggled to assess risks and price them into his offers. I worked with him to rank and quantify those risks so he could make smarter offers. That preparation paid off—his valuation was spot-on, the seller accepted, and John closed on a million-dollar cleaning products company. Scott had a dilemma: one “safe and boring” 20-year-old business or an exciting licensing deal that needed some work. We put Scott in what I call the Contrarian Hot Seat, challenging his assumptions and matching his skills to the upside potential of each opportunity. Scott ultimately chose the licensing deal, made his offer, and closed the deal. What do these success stories have in common? They all began with a single, decisive step: joining the DealFlowSystem Business Buying Academy.
