Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Courses sell education. We sell outcomes. Our team sources, vets, negotiates, funds, and closes acquisitions for you—end to end. We only “win” when deals get done.

We’re a white-glove, done-for-you acquisition service for U.S. citizens.

We handle sourcing , vetting, structuring, lender packaging, and closing. As well as support every step of the way on calls or otherwise. You review opportunities, make decisions, and stay engaged at key points and with the sellers.

Typical internal data:

First deal presented ~17 days

First LOI/offer sent ~57 days

First LOI/offer accepted ~63 days

Ready for lender term sheet ~83 days

Pre-qualification often within 48–72 hours, with deal flow activated within a week. Timing varies; sellers are usually the bottleneck.

A few hours per month to review deals, make decisions, and join key calls. We do 99% of the work.

Goal: roughly one quality deal per week that passes all vetting and qualifications on a normal, reasonably broad buy-box. Cadence fluctuates with seller responsiveness and criteria (narrower targets = fewer deals).

Approximately 97–98% of inbound packages never reach you; only 1.5–3% pass initial screening, and another 20–30% fall out above ~$500k cash flow due to misrep/structures that won’t clear. We kill aggressively so you see only bankable fits.

Yes—if the business cash flows and the structure is right. Sub-600 credit is harder (not impossible) and needs active repair during search. If credit is “wrecked,” SBA approval is unlikely. Banks lend on risk, not vibes.

Current income matters far less if you’ll operate the acquired business. Unfiled taxes = no (SBA won’t touch it). Outstanding tax debt in good standing = maybe. Address it early so lenders aren’t spooked mid-process.

No. Discretion protects employees, customers, vendor credit, and deal integrity—we’ve seen real money lost when confidentiality breaks. We’ll show outcomes through numbers and artifacts, not names.

We protect identities. Instead, we share anonymized structures and ranges, milestone timelines (e.g., LOI dates), and redacted artifacts where possible (e.g., term sheets). If you need parades of references, we’re not your partner; if you want deals closed, we are. (See our Client Confidentiality page.)

It refers to buyer equity. We structure capital stacks (e.g., seller financing, SBA/conventional debt, earnouts/holdbacks) so qualified buyers can close without injecting cash equity themselves—subject to lender and deal specifics. (See our Fees and Structures page.)

No. There’s a small engagement deposit and a success-based fee that represents work already performed and is typically spread over 12 months post-close. If you prefer, we offer a PE/FO retainer model.

For SBA loans, a PG is standard for 20%+ owners. We mitigate with DSCR cushions, seller notes/holdbacks, and lender-friendly structures so the business carries the load.

Yes. We ensure smooth seller transition, provide financial/operational guidance, and connect you with the right legal/tax/hiring resources during the critical first month.

We do acquire companies—and there are far more good businesses than any one firm can or should buy. Also, many top structures leverage SBA programs available to our U.S. buyers.
