Description
Buying and growing a small business is an untapped opportunity in the United States right now, and it's not just limited to billionaires buying tech giants (e.g. Twitter). It can be a school teacher buying a laundromat in their hometown, an immigrant buying a restaurant, or a nurse buying a convenience store.

Business acquisition is the greatest path I know of to independence, financial freedom, and a meaningful career.

After buying and selling my own business, I have guided dozens of people through the acquisition process. This course is a distillation of the key steps involved in buying a business.

Smart Acquisitions takes you through the business buying process including the following stages:
Develop your Acquisition Vision: determine the business you want to buy through a series of exercises that forces you to think about where you want to be, how much you want to make, the kind of lifestyle you want, and more
The Search: use a variety of tools to find the business that meets your criteria
Valuing a Small Business: learn how to value a small business using the most common valuation method
Meet the Seller: learn what to expect when you meet the seller
Due Diligence: download the Due Diligence checklist and gain an understanding of what you should be looking at during the due diligence phase
Submitting an offer: submit an offer the seller can't refuse, negotiate for better terms, and review legal documents necessary for the transaction

Who this course is for:
Ambitious people who want to learn to buy a business in the United States
Entrepreneurial people looking to replace their jobs through business ownership
