I found out what my plant is called thanks to David, it's a crassula ovata
aka money tree). Now I have more info on it I would like to go ahead and
repot it!

From the websites I went on to see how to repot I read that I need to "
(use) a sandy, well-drained potting mix. If a commercial potting soil is
used, add one part perlite or coarse sand to two part the soil mix".

Can I buy that kind of pre-mixed soil from a garden centre? Or do I buy any
compost and some sand and mix it together??

Buy a bag of sharp sand from a builder's merchant or even garden centre.
It is a LOT cheaper than buying fancy horticultural sand, and is as
good for most purposes.
