Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
What does a typical deal look like?
There is no typical deal, but some structures repeat. A strong 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.
Do I need M&A experience?
No. The course is designed as a step-by-step system, and members come from every background, from accountants to business owners.
How much time does it take?
If you are growing an existing company by bolt-on acquisitions, a few hours a week for sourcing, calls and the odd meeting.
What do I get after the course?
Templates and legal documents used on real deals, access to Jeremy, 12 weeks of free coaching and entry to the private community.
