  4. The FACE Framework: Your Blueprint for Successful Acquisitions
What if growing your business 10x wasn’t just possible…but actually
EASIER than growing 10% at a time? In today’s inspiring
conversation, Paul sits down with David B. Horne, founder
of Add Then Multiply, to talk about scaling
through Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and shifting
to a growth mindset. David shares his remarkable story of driving a
business from £1 million to £28 million in just three
years using the power of strategic M&A. Together, they
explore why most founders think too small, uncover how AI is
transforming the deal-making landscape, and walk through David’s
practical FACE methodology — Fund, Acquire, Consolidate,
Exit — a framework that helps ambitious leaders scale faster and
smarter while setting up for an exit. Key Takeaways 10x growth is
often easier than 10% — real results show scaling £1m
£28m in 3 years through acquisitions. M&A isn’t just for
corporates — founders miss opportunities by assuming it’s
“off-limits.” Build your deal team early — specialist
accountants & lawyers are critical to navigate the complexity.
Consolidation is where success is won or lost — integrating
culture, systems and people decides deal value. AI is reshaping
deal flow & due diligence — smart founders can leverage it
for competitive advantage. About David B Horne David B.
