"Hiring Jaime was the best thing I did"

Jovana-Vujnic-Founder-at-Bumper-Leads

“I was initially told the business was worth $670K, but after working with Jaime Almond, we discovered major discrepancies in the financials. Jaime helped me navigate the offer process, and thanks to her guidance, I ended up acquiring the business for just $60,000 – and that was only for the previous owner’s salary for the handover period. As a buyer, we don’t have representation, and hiring Jaime was the best thing I did because of how emotional the whole transaction was. The level of insight and support throughout the process was invaluable—I couldn’t have done it without her.”

"I can't recommend Jaime's advisory services highly enough"

“Working with Jaime was an absolute game-changer as I was evaluating whether to acquire this 40-year-old business. As someone who’s a bit risk-averse, I really needed Jaime’s expertise to dig into the financials and help me understand the true state of the company. She helped me identify areas where I could potentially add back expenses to get a clearer picture of the profitability. And she gave me a reality check on the low profit margins, which had me rethinking what I would offer. Jaime also provided super practical advice on negotiation tactics and gave me the confidence to make an informed decision, rather than just taking a leap of faith. If you’re looking to acquire a business, Jaime’s ability to see the big picture is invaluable. I’m really grateful I fully understood this opportunity before making such a big investment.”Paul G, owner Sky Maids and KRK

Here's How It Works

01.

You send me the business information

Financials, documents—everything you’ve got. I dive in, analyse the numbers, and look for any red flags that might cause concern.

02.

We’ll jump on a live strategy call

During this session, I’ll walk you through what I’ve found. We’ll cover everything from the financial health of the business to potential risks, growth opportunities, and whether the asking price is really worth it.

03.

Get a recording of our call

You’ll walk away with not just my analysis but a recording of our meeting so you can revisit it anytime—perfect for when you’re making your final decision or sharing the findings with your partner.

If you’re serious about buying a business, you need more than just a gut feeling

You need numbers, insights, and a clear plan for what you’re walking into. Most buyers don’t have the time or expertise to comb through the details, and that’s why so many end up stuck with bad deals.

With my Buyer’s Appraisal, you get:

Clarity: Know exactly what you’re getting into before you sign anything.
Confidence: Feel assured that you’ve done your due diligence, backed by an expert’s analysis.
Peace of Mind: Walk away from that meeting knowing you’re making a smart, informed decision.

"Jaime quickly identified major issues in the valuation"

“I came to Jaime Almond when I was looking to buy a business that the owners had valued at $1.5M. They’d presented financials that made the business look profitable, but Jaime quickly identified major issues in the valuation—turns out it was three years old and didn’t reflect the current financial health at all. Thanks to Jaime, I was able to make an informed decision and avoid overpaying for a business that wasn’t worth nearly as much as the sellers claimed.”
