Done-For-You · Acquisition Automation
Acquisition infrastructure for the private markets.
We source, structure, finance, close and run a cash-flowing business for you. You bring the capital and your signature. You get the time and expertise of an entire M&A organization, and you own the asset.
The opportunity
The largest private wealth transfer in history is underway. Most buyers will miss it.

of businesses listed for sale never sell
of M&A course students never complete a deal
of sellers have no exit strategy in place

Completing the ecosystem
One platform where buyers, consultants and sellers meet. You sit at the top.
Every other option serves one side of a deal. Acquisition Network organizes all three in a single place, and points the whole ecosystem at one person: the buyer.
The buyer: you
You bring the capital and the decision. The rest of the ecosystem works on your behalf: sourcing, underwriting, financing and running the business.
The consultants
A network of paid Acquisition Consultants who go out and find deals. They pay to be part of the network, so the deal flow grows without growing your costs.
The sellers
Owners reached off-market through our marketing and our consultants, before a broker lists them and every other buyer sees them.
The app in the middle
Every deal is organized, underwritten, financed and managed in one place. You log in and see it all.
We've already created gravity
Deals come to us. Every one we close pulls in the next.
We've built a profitable marketing system and an attention stream that brings people and deals to us, and we've proven we can close them. When you join, you get the leverage of everything we've built, without doing the work yourself.
Collective deal volume
A steady stream of underwritten deals brings more lending options to the table than any single buyer can.
Owners come to the network
Our reach puts us in front of owners who want a competent buyer, not whoever a broker found.
Deal flow that scales
Every closed deal becomes proof that attracts more consultants bringing more deals.
For people who value their time more than money
You're buying time. Here is all you have to do.
You're leveraging the efforts of dozens of organized, experienced people who cost real money to assemble and keep together: an expert team, a vetted company, and an asset that produces cash flow. Most clients keep their job through the entire process.

Broker vs Acquisition Network
A broker earns a commission for the introduction. We get paid when you win.
A business broker typically charges a percentage of the purchase price, collected in full at the closing table, whether or not the business performs afterwards. Their duty runs to the seller. Once the deal closes, they're gone.
| Business broker | Acquisition Network | |
|---|---|---|
| How they're paid | Commission, all of it at closing | Most of our fee is paid on success, then for operating support |
| Who they work for | The seller | You, the buyer |
| Underwriting | No | Yes, every deal |
| Due diligence | No, you hire it | 150-item diligence process |
| Lender relationships | No | Lenders plus private lending |
| Running the company | No | Operator placed; our team oversees it |
| Portfolio integration | No | Shared services across our collective portfolio |
| Helping you exit | No | Exit planned from day one, as part of a portfolio |
| Software, recruiting & job board | No | Included |
Going it alone costs you leverage at every stage
Fewer lenders
One buyer, a handful of banks. Fewer lenders means fewer offers and worse terms.
Less negotiating power
No pool of funded buyers behind you, so the seller has no reason to move on price or terms.
No operators
On Monday after close, you're the one running it, or hiring someone with no track record.
A weaker exit
A single owner-operated business is less appealing to acquirers than a company inside a portfolio.
The exit
Same business. More value inside a portfolio.
Do exactly what you were going to do, but at scale. Larger, integrated portfolios have historically commanded higher multiples than single small businesses.
Multiples are illustrative ranges of earnings, not a projection or promise. Portfolio exit multiples are a target, depend on scale, performance and market conditions, and are not guaranteed.
How it works
150 steps. One team. Every stage tracked in the app.
The acquisition is mapped end to end inside the Acquisition Network app, so you see each step in real time: the deal room, lender scheduling, AI-assisted LOI drafting, financial review and pipeline tracking, all in one place.
Intake
P&L goals, buy box, capital commitment and fit defined with the executive team.
Search
Off-market sourcing and qualification, narrowed to top targets with weekly check-ins.
Structure
LOI, seller negotiation and financing introductions, all handled by the team.
Close
Due diligence, lender approval and funding complete the transition.
How we work with you
Aligned with your close
We align our incentives with yours: the majority of our compensation is tied to a successful close and the performance of the business afterwards, not to the introduction. Terms are confirmed on the qualification call and set out in the engagement.
- Investment thesis built with you
- Off-market sourcing and underwriting
- LOI structured and issued
- Seller negotiations handled
- Lender introductions and financing support
- The majority of our compensation is tied to closing
- Aligned with a completed transaction
- We win when you win
- You own the business
- We provide operating support
- Our income continues only while yours does
Who this is for
- Liquidity available for the transaction and down payment
- A credit profile a lender can underwrite
- Willing to personally guarantee the loan
We confirm fit and capital on the first call, because putting someone into a process a lender will decline serves nobody.
If that isn't you yet
The Acquisition Consultant program lets you participate with work instead of capital: bringing deals to funded buyers and earning fees and equity on what closes.
Inside the room
Done-For-You clients get the top tier of the network
Others help you get into a deal. We help you get in, run the company afterwards, and bring you deal flow through a network of consultants, while teaching you the whole process.
A dedicated acquisition consultant
One point of contact who runs your deal with you, backed by direct access to the executive team.
The higher-tier rooms
Invitations to client and investor events, and first look at preferred opportunities and lending terms where available.
Build your own M&A team
Learn exactly how we source deals and build our team, so you can set up your own consultants to source for you, at two layers, and keep growing your portfolio.
After close
Own the business. We operate it.
We install a remote operations team covering staffing, finance, sales and marketing, and technology. You own the business and step back from day-to-day operations, with our team's incentives aligned to its performance. The layer is led by our COO, who scaled Exos from $20M to $200M in four years.
Why the team matters
You alone, or a team that compounds
Buying on your own caps you at one person's time, one balance sheet and one address book, however good an operator you are. Your first deal won't make the second one easier. Inside the network, every deal adds lenders, operators, sellers and consultants, and they all work on the next one.
Your time. Your capital. That's it.
- One calendar
- One balance sheet
- Relationships start from zero
An experienced team that keeps growing
- Senior M&A, lending, operations and finance from day one
- A network of consultants, lenders and operators
- The network grows with every deal
Illustrative only. Not a projection of deal volume or returns.
The lender network is live inside the platform: SBA lenders, private lenders and alternative capital, scheduled directly through the app.

These describe what specific clients achieved. They are not typical, not a projection, and not a guarantee of what anyone else will earn. Every acquisition carries risk, including loss of capital.
