"Understood our business well...and captured the size of our company. We never felt pressured to make a decision so Id say they cared about us and you rarely get that feeling."

"Spreadsheets dont create synergies, PEOPLE do. It's much easier to teach the math behind valuation techniques than it is to create or maintain a cohesive team and lead it in the right direction."

Go With Confidence

The team and resources to source, acquire, and execute an acquisition strategy.  

As a former Los Angeles Dodgers player who transitioned into entrepreneurship, I deeply resonate with the message in Jay Dixon's 'After The Game.' Dixon's insights are not just motivational; they are a practical guide for any athlete looking to redefine success beyond the field.

FAQ

What is Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Online Courses?

Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition, or ETA, entails the acquisition and expansion of established small businesses that have already proven their viability in the market. Those embarking on this journey are often referred to as 'searchers.' The scope of these transactions can vary significantly, ranging from $25,000 to $25 million for a single company. ETA entrepreneurs typically secure a majority stake in the businesses they invest in, assuming the role of CEO to oversee their operations and growth. For many, the ultimate goal is to sell the business for a profit within a five to seven-year timeframe. Searchers have the flexibility to explore opportunities across diverse industries.

How do I buy a business?

We equipped our students to different paths to acquire a business including the traditional search fund model where a searcher raises funds from investors for both the search and acquisition, self-funded searches followed by investor fundraising, self-funded searches combined with SBA-backed loans, and participation in CEO in Training or accelerator programs to gain essential skills and experience in business operations.

What are the tools and resources?

Join our exclusive Accelerator Program, offering invaluable insights into business acquisition. Led by Jay Dixon, the author of "After The Game," you'll benefit from Coaching Calls and Live Workshops with seasoned advisors to enhance your expertise. Personalized guidance will help you craft a compelling value proposition and buyer profile, while Live Q&A sessions with our lending partner prepare you for financial support. Our comprehensive toolkit includes the Deal Evaluation Scorebook, Analysis Tools, Real-Life Case Studies, and Self-Evaluation Workbooks. You'll also have access to Outreach Tools, Templates, and be invited to Q&A calls with experts.

We partner with athlete to help them buy the business of their choice and empower them with the knowledge, resources, and coaches to ensure success. 

Why athletes? Why now?

Whether you played sports as a child or finished your last game in the pros, the skills and characteristics you learned in athletics are highly attractive. Athletes possess valuable skills rooted in neuroscience, cultivated through their sports careers, such as resilience, dedication, discipline, teamwork, and goal orientation, which seamlessly translate to entrepreneurship. "Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition," the practice of purchasing an operational business, is now accessible beyond elite business schools, offering a faster path to success. This method boasts a higher success rate (50% to 60%) compared to starting a business from scratch (10%). Investors are increasingly supporting this alternative asset class. With an estimated $10 trillion in privately owned business assets set to be sold by 2040, the potential is immense.

What is the time commitment?

From strategy, through sourcing to deal execution, we have the resource and team to achieve your goals. All educational materials and resources are self paced.

Are there networking opportunities?

Strategic partnerships, a constant flow of acquisition opportunities, a wealth of resources, peer support, and valuable investor connections, you'll have the tools and support you need to succeed in the world of acquisition. Your path to business ownership has never been more promising.
