Only came across this guy recently. Love his videos. He's very open, very knowledgeable and backs it up big time! You have people on youtube saying they've done this and made this much money, and we should do this to make the same amount of money bull, but show nothing to back up their claims. James puts it all out there, doesn't boast and seems like a very down to earth man. I'm shocked at the low amount of subscribers he has compared to people that don't even come close to him!
This morning i was at rock bottom, i saw no way out of my situation. I come on to TH-cam and for some unknown reason this is in my recommendations. I watched it. My life is still at rock bottom, ive no future, no chance of employment and still weeks away from probable homelessness. However, you seem like a good man and you have created an outstanding business, i know that this will be a success for you, good luck.
Good luck, man! You’ll get out of there and you’ll make it !!
Seriously men I hope you are okay
wtf kinda comment is bro
James I am in awe over what you’ve done.
I’ve been in business 40 years and haven’t come close to what you’ve achieved.
Marvellous, well done.
You are brilliant James. I love the honestly, transparency and willingness to share to help and inspire others. You are leaving a proper legacy. What's the point in keeping all this knowledge and expertise to yourself, which is so often the case. Passing on your experience and knowledge to others is so classy and a sign of real wealth. I wish you all the continued success and you should receive a knighthood for all your work in this sector: very inspiring 👏
Only came across your channel a few days ago. Knowing business i can smell BS from the usual TH-cam influencers and you are by far the most genuine, most knowledgeable out there. What you preach you back up, with reciepts and then some. The quality of this is on part of a TV production comapny. You are highly intelligent and a true entrepreneur, i shall be following on all fronts and applying the free gems and knowledge you are bestowing uppon us.
You deserve to be knighted, most inspirational and educational person I've found in entrepreneurship. You practice what you preach, and can back up what you say.
He's a one man economic machine, if we cloned him the country would be thriving

Its called getting it done. Something alot of people don't realise.
I have been watching your content nearly 2 years and you’re just getting better and better every video. Thanks mate.
Congratulations James on the purchase of Cafe Deli.
You have no idea how are inspirational you are.
Thanks for sharing as always.
Petition to get James his own TV show pronto.
TV is dead
He deserves more 🎉🌍🌾
🎉 you're the funniest 🎉 He's already on the tv of the future.
I would not want an over simplified version of this though. Television is often dumbed down.
You are so naive. What proof has James provided that the sale took place. No documents, no business sales meetings. Just walking around an empty warehouse. You gotta think man... Question everything.
I love the fact that James is over the detail. So many business owners think they are "above" things like labelling, servicing of vehicles etc. James is all over them and seems to naturally understand the power of making small improvements to make massive overall gains. Great presenter as well. Inspiring stuff.
Excellent Excellent Excellent, what is so beautiful about you is thar you are British, you are self made, and you talk about your real ups and downs. You are sooooooo relatable. Its so flippin fantastic. Thank you and congratulations with this next step. Brilliant
Cracking effort James! I really do hope I follow in your footsteps 💪
Keep up the content, love the transparency, the realism of running a business etc!
I've been running my business for 3 years, sacrificed alot!
I've even dropped from £1,100 wage down to £600 a week so I can spend more time to grow my business and the way things are going, I'll be taking a little wage next year!!
I've also grown to supply 6 B2B thus year and looking to gain more next year!
I've even done work for the sweet company Maynard Bassetts.... me, one man with an office in his spare room, whilst still working full time😄
A massive thank you to you and your videos 🫡
And too whoever reads this, I wish you all the best on your venture 🤞
Love the way you market your brands with your influencial strategy. Love learning while going through your brand name.
I subscribed 5 days ago and I’ve already told 3 friends about the channel. Genuinely amazing content thanks James!
Haha same, finally found someone who talks the talk and walks the walk. He is not boasting but educating, straight to the point and the video format is great no click baits.
I always appreciate your transparency. Sounds like a great acquisition for you, all the best with integrating.
One of the cleverest things i've seen about your business is how you have them integrated, you can market each business from inside the other one whilst also providing goods for them separately.
Bolt onto existing empire, that’s what he believes. Just look at his, in house sign printing.
@@mrwood4557 haha its also how Apple etc work
Congratulations on the new business!! Would love to see more of behind the scenes there.
wow the compounding effect is so real, at this stage your never taking risk anymore, it becomes so “easy” to scale ?? is it just me or this looks easy ?
i’ve been through the struggle of a startup, nothing in my life has came close to it , i still feel the bitter in my heart from the pain
Another brilliant video and so much value and insight! Great work James! Keep going mate, inspirational.
Well done on the new business James, You deserve this!! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm New to your channel. It's brilliant. Well done james. 👍
Top work James and the team. It's not easy buying a bussniess like this when the food wholesale giants are trying to buy up smaller companys left right and center.
More of this content please 🙏
Love watching your journey, thanks for sharing.
Fair play James good luck with this, have been following you for a while great content.
Very kind of you to say!!
Your honesty and willing to share the knowledge you have is amazing.
Thank you so much x
Good to see the Channel & the Business growing well, James. ;-) Long way from the old Li days of 200 views & just you, Chuds plodding ahead.
7:24. Absolute genius putting it into a holding company. Less liability for yourself and the bank meaning loan approval and less risk if the actually company goes under.
@James Sinclair 1:43 there are the beans your GMs were talking about that they couldn’t get 😂😂
You know !!
They wanted small beans so they didn’t have to open big tins. These are big tins. I’m sure James will introduce smaller tins for the play centres tho.
@@ElonMusk87216yep, that’s what they need and want. Miscommunication, now they can order small beans off Café deli website. Simple’s
Fantastic. Well done and congratulations. I’m looking forward to the journey, Cafe Deli are lucky to have you, I imagine it’ll be a sigh of relief for the staff that the new boss is a ‘good guy’
What an absolute inspiration!! Brilliant stuff! Entrepreneurs like you are amazing and in my opinion the greatest contribution to society at all levels! Well done! 👍👍
Wow, thank you!
Great purchase, the one thing that you don’t mention in your video that you have buckets of is passion. If you don’t have this I would think twice before buying.🎉
Honestly thank you for this video casue i now have a whole stream of business ideas and motivation
Nice video James. Congratulations on buying this business. I think it sounds like a winner for you. Now you need to start repping Rossi ice cream and bakery products in London. Stating that it’s only available through the Cafe Deli wholesale business. So hopefully every restaurant, cafe, business within the M25 will buy other products to from Cafe Deli.
Tanti Auguri James, daring and fresh. Thanks for taking us along.
You sure you don't want the best online vintage clothing shop in the world?
Kidding, not for sale! 😮
Dont sell too much, keep some of the ❤ for yourselves. 🎉 bravo
Genius acquisition for your business this one James, always helps being able to supply your business with other businesses, better buying powers, better savings, and better moats to protect....
Big James. Not the little one!! 🔥 Please keep us posted on this venture. We are also in the wholesale/distribution niche.
Congratulations ! For your buying this company
Thank you!
Great video James, to the point and candid. Thank you for doing this and all the others, its very much appreciated.
I've been watching you on and off for 3 years and seen your rise. Mf you're a bad man. 😂 Very inspirational. Good luck!
Welcome back to more regular viewing!
Amazing as usual. This video is your best so far, it just FLOWED so well, great editing, great clarity from you and solid videography.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ooo James you didnt share with us the magic number you bought the business for,
The details of that and how you negotiated the value of the business would have been a great bit of info to share and importantly learn from !
Thanks again for another great quality vid nonetheless,
Onto 100k subs 🎉
Congratulations mate, really happy for you. Wishing you great success.
When this man speaks I listen. Business mastermind appreciate you sir
Great work James & Aaron. Looking forward to catching up soon
I can tell that you’re genuinely chuffed with this deal, congrats! 🎉
So glad it all came off for you! Congratulations on the biggest acquisition ever?! 🎉
Great work as always! Thanks for sharing, best get my eyes on the look out for a business to buy. 👍
3 JS videos uploaded in one day! With the kid now asleep I can finally watch!
I take my hat off to you. Amazing achievement. Good luck sir.
Great video. CDW deliver to us every Tuesday, excellent service which we couldn't live without. Already got an awesome local ice cream supplier though 😉
Cafe Deli will soon hold all the cones and accessories- so you’ll be able to get that from us too!
Look forward to working with you.
Well done. 40 years to get to 1mil profit is mad compared to Internet businesses. Respect physical biz guys so much harder
Fantastic video and such an amazing , synergistic opportunity! When I get around to opening my cafe I'll be in touch!
I wonder when making his own power becomes part of his Jigsaw puzzle. Isolating yourself from fluctuating fuel/power prices would seem to make sense. His businesses in more industrial buildings seem to have a lit of roofspace so he wouldn't need any more land for solar plus it could be part of the brand "rossi icecream run on sunshine" for example
I like it 👍🏻
I find these videos quite interesting. It gives insight in stuff I don't know anything about.
Waitttt!! I wasn’t ready for the overhead white board shot at all! 🤣🤣🤣
Very exciting acquisition. Looking forward to seeing what this leads too
Never stop sharing, well done James!
Excellent news, hard work pays off.
Videos like this are quite useful, dreams to have my own building firm one day with my own fleet of vans and a good group of lads working for me
Business takes 2 assets.
#1 access to cash
#2 the Balls to make big Business moves.
Congratulations on your new business venture!!
Congrats on the purchase James, I hope it goes well for you.
WoW incredible! Yeah I was a Master Auto Tech for over thirty yeats years and now I own a Scooter rental company by Disneyland. My advise with those vehicles is to be very careful picking the right 👉 Servicing Team. Also be mindful that very soon Gas is going to be phasing out with Electric. I already planned this ahead of years and started a Electric Scooter rental company.
Heck you probably already know your game just giving my opinion as a added bonus
😂👍 ☑️
Great video - good luck with the business, hope you do well with it
Great James ❤ btw did you call the businesses before you went to see them or not? 🙂
‘Pamper the Camper’ worth looking into as if this was brought to every festival in the whole UK and Ireland and hitting each and every festival and it’s ready made just needs expanded and managed with 2 UK warehouse or storage.
He’s My Older Brother and has won awards for His disposable cardboard tents, I’m amazed no massive hedge fund has swooped in already and took this UK and Ireland, all that revenue.
Question: when you have synergy between your business, do you sell those services at cost, discounted or retail?
Thanks in advance
This feels the same as when someone talks about going closer upstream and downstream. Makes sense. I definitely need to hit more B2C
Would they not agree to any vendor finance? I assume you would have been a preferred option for some of the purchase price.
Hi James.
Your high energy, relentless work ethic and 100 mph brain and speech is very familiar to me.
I strongly suggest you get your thyroid checked ASAP for hyperthyroidism aka Graves Disease.
I worked long days and late nights for years, successfully, until i crashed and burnt out and found out my personality and "hyper active" behavior was due to a massive hormone in balance which eventually led to a heart attack and me having an emergency quintuple heart by pass.
I was lucky, but my GP saw my 4 times when I was very ill and said it was a virus.It was nt. it was a runaway, over active thyroid gland which very nearly killed me.
Get you TSH and T3 levels checked just in case.
Best of luck from wicklow Ireland just bought your book getting customers I have a mobile bicycle repair business and want it nationwide the next year or so
Congratulations on your acquisition 👍
This deal also gives you information on the pub/restaurant competition to The Blue Boar . . .
Best of luck in your new venture mate
Brilliant work James. So good, can’t wait to see where you take this next … keep going
Great video, good energy, But Cafe deli in Croydon, doesn't list you as a director or a person with control. Are there more than one? and its Assets are £2.2million £7.8m for goodwill is generous.
I was just thinking the same. And his nursery has shareholder funds of 47k....
Only completed last week, probably will take 28 days to update CH.
Why is he checking company house anyway, nosy lad
Because a lot of people nowadays talk out there arse but I believe james is the real deal.
@bluescribbler Just saying, my business turns over $4m and has $2 in shareholder capital. The rest is shareholder loans and retained earnings.
Hi James,
I work in Logistics and was curious based on your point of "scan in and out" system you briefly mentioned. What WMS does Cafe Deli use? What kind of inventory management do you operate? Do your customers have a visual on your stock levels? Genuinely curious from an owner's point of view how to invest in a logistics company.
Well done, you are an inspiration.
This is a fantastic one James 👏
You are an inspiration James.
Very inspiring 👏
Do you offer one on one meetings James? Could really do with your advice, it would be life changing.... for me lol.
Moving to a different level James.
James, great news with the business: it's going to be big.
Did you get the building/warehouse with the deal? I don't think you said.
Alan
Crazy to see this. I used to drive for this company, hopefully he pays his employees more than the previous owners did😂
Great video takes you through the whole process. Only thing is the price how much is the business? Why was it valued at that price? And how long can you expect to get your money back?
Awesome move James, good luck.
Very informative
This is a great video and I love the channel
Amazing content. ❤
Great Video and love the content
Great video
I love your backward integration and focus on skilled staff. Just like the business management textbooks back in university. Class act 🤝
Fantastic video as always. Thank you. When you expand DeliCafe in to North Wales let us know.
you sir are an inspiration
Amazing well done 👍
What we want to know is how many times profit did you pay, and what assets it had.
opportunity to create something new now, could be a bespoke WMS, perhaps some software that links your clients directly to the wholesale platform, not some basic API based ERP, think TFL, Oyster swipe..to run up from £10m to £25m in 3 years, also needs clever clever tech as well as some other level distribution....
How’s the coffee shop chain going James? Very curious to see how that one is doing!
Leverage! Care in the near future as rates rise again. My prediction only
