We are looking for 12 Partners to join our team
We are looking for 12 Deal Partners to join the Opulentia Capital team on our Buy, Build, Sell ™. Joining us guarantees that you will increase your net worth by at least £1M GBP within the next 18 months and that we acquire a multi million pound business together.
We are running a year long program that will teach you everything you need to know to acquire at least one multi million pound profitable business within the next 18 months.
The first live event will be held in April in Europe. Travel and accommodation is provided.
You will spend three full days with Paul Seabridge and his team covering Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs) from start to finish learning everything there is to know. This is based on his and his teams real experience of doing over 90 deals.
We will then set up an SPV which we will own 50/50 and will be the vehicle we use to make our first acquisition together. We set it up after because part of the content is how to structure a holding company.
You will then be appointed as a Partner at Opulentia Capital with a profile on our website and your own email address.
Once part of the team you will have access to all of the credibility and track record of Opulentia and access to all our tools and resources to facilitate multiple deals. Resources include access to the team for deal structuring, valuation, financial analysis & modelling, business planning, legals & of course our funding.

Earnings
You will earn nothing from this until a deal is closed but typical earnings are set out below. Every deal is different but this is a broad average. You therefore need to have a source of income up to your first deal. This may be a job, business interest, other income from investments. Most JV partners we work with conclude a deal within 4-6 months. The quickest we have ever done a deal with a JV partner was 4 weeks from the end of the program to completion but that is unusual. Others have taken 12 months. It is therefore important you have another source of income for at least 1 year.
Deal fee
A fee paid by the target business which is usually between £50-250k.
A monthly management charge typically no less than £120k a year.
A dividend usually during first two years £100k per year.
Exit value likely to be 7-8 figures years 3/4.
