Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about the training, the deals and what happens after you join.

About the Training

Do the strategies work in the United States?
Yes. The course contains more than 200 slides and fewer than 10 are specific to one country. The rest are global principles built on seller psychology and deal structure. Members have closed deals in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe. Laws vary by state, so always involve a qualified attorney licensed in your state.
Who is the training for?
Entrepreneurs, executives, investors and owners of established companies who want to grow through acquisition. No M&A experience is required.
What exactly do you get out of the seminar?
A system to source, acquire, fix and sell companies. It is tactical rather than theoretical and backed by real examples. You also get the templates and legal documents used on deals, access to Jeremy after the course and entry to the member community.
How much time do I need to devote to this?
Like anything, the more you put in the more you get out. If you want to use it to grow an existing business by buying companies to bolt on, a few hours a week for sourcing, phone calls and the odd meeting is enough.
I’m not a people person, or I’m young and don’t have much business experience. Can I still succeed?
Yes. The strategy involves persuasion, which comes from rapport, and rapport is about coming across as someone people want to do business with. Age is not a barrier. We also encourage members to partner where they lack skills, and the community is how many members find partners.

Deals and Strategy

What does a typical deal look like?
There is no such thing as typical, but some structures repeat. A good target is often a business with $500K to $5M in revenue, with little or no cost to enter, where something can be removed or fixed to make it profitable, for example debt, a building, a product line or a person.
What types of businesses can I buy?
Jeremy describes himself as sector agnostic. Business services tend to work best, and members have bought companies across many industries.
If the owner leaves, don’t you lose the customer relationships?
In about half of cases the original owner stays on. Targeting businesses with revenue above $500K a year usually means customers have outgrown the owner. Some handover of relationships may be needed, but customers generally want convenience and continuity over disruption.
Is it better to look at companies already in bankruptcy or winding up?
Exactly the opposite. The trick is to find them before they appoint anyone, so more options remain on the table for everyone.
Do you take over personal guarantees?
No. Under no circumstances would we take over personal guarantees. The goal is to remove the guarantee, the debt, or both, through financial engineering.
What if I want to keep the companies I acquire?
You can use an acquired company as currency to buy equity in a larger one, make it a hub for more acquisitions in a roll-up, or sell it to fund other deals.

After You Join

What happens after the course?
You get 12 weeks of free coaching, access to Jeremy, joint venture opportunities and free mastermind groups with other members.
How successful are people after attending?
It is impossible to give one figure, because people attend for different reasons: to grow their own business, to buy a job, to sell a company and more. Nearly everyone does something with what they learn, but what that is varies widely. Results are not typical.
Is there a guarantee?
The Acquisition Accelerator program carries a results guarantee for eligible company owners and executives, with conditions. Read the full terms. The seminar itself has a separate money-back guarantee, described on our guarantee page.
