But wait...

But why would you need a program like this in the first place? Can’t you just do it yourself?

23 months

That's the staggering amount of time it takes the average business buyer to close their first deal.

And these are just a few of the obstacles that they deal with on the way....

Phase 1

Deciding whether buying a business is right for you

Do I have what it takes to run a business?
I don’t even understand what SDE, EBITDA, CIMs, or LOIs even mean…
What if I invest my life savings and lose it all?
What if the business tanks after I buy it?
Do I even want to buy a business? Why not build a side-hustle or start my own company?

Phase 2

Finding the right business without spinning your wheels

There are so many horrible listings on BizBuySell, I could scroll all day and find nothing good…
Should I be doing On and Off market?
Why are the brokers ghosting me? How do I get them to take me seriously?
How do I spot a bad deal before wasting my time?
Every good deal I’ve seen has gone off the market in days…how do I compete?

Phase 3

Evaluating a business systematically and quickly

How do I even read all these sloppy financials?
Why are there so many seller add-backs? How do I know what’s fraudulent?
How can I review businesses in industries I’ve never been in before?
How do I find red flags with such limited information?
I don’t know whether I should move forward or even how to get to a seller call..

Phase 4

Making a winning offer that protects you

I don’t want to alienate the seller but I also don’t want to offer too much…
The broker says this is a really competitive deal…how am I supposed to stand out?
How should I structure the deal to protect my downside but also win the offer?

Phase 5

Securing financing with little money down

I know SBA financing is an amazing tool to buy a big business with little money down, but there’s so much paperwork…
I want to keep the Seller’s skin in the game with financing but they really don’t want to offer it…
What if I want equity investors? How do I even structure that offer?
What if the bank is unwilling to underwrite my deal?

Phase 6

Sealing the deal

The seller is starting to get cold feet and threatening to back out of the deal…
The deeper we dive into the business, the more worried I am about having money in the business after I take over…how am I supposed to deal with that?
What if I’m missing something big in diligence and get hit with it after closing?
The seller keeps asking for more the closer we get to close…what do I do?
I dove deeper into the business and see things that make me want to re-negotiate the deal…but I don’t want the seller to back out…

Phase 7

Taking over and growing your business

I finally finished the deal but now I actually have to RUN the business. I’m overwhelmed by the amount I have to do…
I don’t want to lose customers.
I don’t want to alienate the employees.
I don’t know when to make changes.
And I haven’t started on figuring out how to grow the business…

"I’ve been in M&A for large companies for many years, including leading a $50M deal, but this experience has been entirely different...The nuances, the challenges, and the resilience required make it unlike any other M&A experience, and I couldn’t have gotten this far without this community."

Our solution

So, we built a program that cuts that time in half and helps you tackle all of those obstacles...

This is how it works....

We curate on and off-market deals for you, so you can find the right deal faster. And sometimes find a deal no one else is even looking at.

We DON’T just leave you to surf BizBuySell on your own.

Then, we provide you with 1:1 support with our M&A advisors to help you identify red flags, structure winning offers, and help you negotiate all the way to close.

We DON’T just throw you into group calls where you’re one in dozens of students.

From there, we match you directly with lenders, vendors, and investors that you can be confident will help you get to the finish line.

We DON’T let you work with just anyone. We pre-vet your deal team.

And top it all off, we surround you with other business buyers just like you and keep you accountable every step of the way.

We DON’T leave you do this alone. Because business buying can be a very lonely journey.

"It is not an exaggeration to say this could not have happened without the SMB team. From sourcing this deal to answering all my questions and jumping on multiple calls."
