Operator, Investor & Founder Jay Bourgana on Buying Businesses, Acquisitions & Building Wealth

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series featuring Operator, Investor & Founder of Acquisition Collective Jay Bourgana.

Jay has spent more than 25 years building, operating and acquiring businesses across manufacturing, real estate, home services and mergers and acquisitions. Today, he helps entrepreneurs learn how to buy and scale cash-flowing businesses — and teaches first-time buyers how to approach acquisitions like real operators, not spectators.

His journey has taken him from banking to running manufacturing operations in China, building and scaling multiple companies, completing more than 20 acquisitions, and helping grow a business to $350 million in revenue before exiting.

Along the way, Jay has experienced the good, the bad and the ugly of entrepreneurship. He brings that hard-earned perspective to the world of business acquisitions, where finding the right opportunity is only the beginning. Successful buyers must know how to source deals, evaluate risk, negotiate with sellers and understand what it really takes to operate a business.

Based in Florida, Jay joins us for a deep dive into entrepreneurship, business ownership, acquisition strategy, cash flow, deal-making and the realities of building lasting business value.

Dig into this conversation with Jay Bourgana and discover what aspiring business buyers can learn from decades of real-world experience.
