The 7-Minute Takeover S2. Ep.14: From Banker to Buyer: Eamonn's Acquisition Story

Описание: What happens when a career banker becomes a buyer?

In this episode, Eamonn shares his journey from 12 years in finance — including M&A and commercial lending — to purchasing an operating company himself and ultimately moving into acquisition advisory full-time.

After years of structuring deals from the lender’s side, buying his own company gave him a completely different perspective.

He shares:

• What surprised him most about the buyer experience
• Why buying a business is far more emotional and messy than it looks from the outside
• How seeing a seller threaten to walk away changed his understanding of transactions
• Why he’s now more selective about the lenders and advisors he works with
• How he brings the “voice of the bank” into offer structuring and financing conversations
• What buyers are often missing when evaluating risk

Today, Eamonn leads the capital and advisory team at Village Wellth, helping buyers evaluate opportunities, structure offers, secure financing, and navigate diligence with clarity.

His biggest takeaway? Transactions aren’t just about numbers. They’re about people, priorities, and finding win-win solutions.

If you're serious about buying a business, this perspective matters.
