The entrance-to-exit program is designed to find and close a business for you within seven months, integrate our ACE Framework within the following nine months, and exit the business to earn 10x your cash investment within four years.
The Accelerator is the ONLY way you can access:
- Acquira as an equity or debt investor in your deal(s)
- Our off-market team, calling 50+ businesses per day on your behalf

Capacity is limited each month because Accelerator members will be working with our CEO and Director of M&A.

Providing a 2-day face-to-face workshop
A change management system designed to grow businesses with a special emphasis on culture, systems, and servant-leadership. It serves as a guide to reviewing and improving those business processes that have an impact on growth and profitability.
Sell your business for more than what you paid for.
Phase 1: The Search
If you want to create wealth and freedom by acquiring a 7-figure business, then join our Accelerator.
As part of the program, our team will provide more deals for you to look over than you thought possible. We’ll help you iterate your investor profile throughout the process in order to ensure that you buy the exact right business for you.
Of course, you still need to put in the work. At least a few hours each day. If that sounds like too much, then this is not the program for you.
The Details
The Accelerator is broken into three sub-Phases that take you from defining your investor profile all the way the close of your business:
How It Works
By the end of the first month, you’ll have developed your investor profile and tested it in the real world by analyzing and screening several businesses.
Once you’ve screened a number of businesses and solidified your investor profile, we will introduce you to our sourcing team, which will begin calling off-market businesses on your behalf. Off-market deals usually result in better businesses more tailored to your specific investor profile.
Acquira will provide a Success Coach that will support you throughout the process. You can expect coaching calls and document reviews with the coach at every “do or die” moment.
You’ll Receive Coaching Calls:
Phase 2: ACE Integration
ACE stands for Acquira Certified Enterprise. An ACE is a company that adheres to a change management framework that emphasizes culture, systems, and servant leadership.
In the past, some of our partners were not ready to take over a business. They were overwhelmed and this led to a low quality of life. They became owner-operators, just like the sellers.
The main objective of the integration is to establish the foundations for future growth and continued efficiency toward higher profitability in preparation for divestment.
Phase 3: The Exit
Growing a company on your own like can take you more than 5 years even with the right people in place because you’re going to need to create it all from scratch and you’re going to make mistakes.
ACE allows you to skip most of the false starts and mistakes and clear a path toward an exit from your business in a shorter period of time.
This means selling your business for more than what you paid and faster than on your own. We do this through a warrant that will guarantee you a potential exit within four years provided the business is integrated and is performing.

Working with Acquira on a business acquisition was like having an all-purpose business Swiss army knife in your pocket: from analysis of the books, to valuation, lending, and growth strategies they were there every step of the way to help provide the confidence and plan to make it happen.
Acquira really impressed me with their core values that I found to be more than just words. They were able to source and vet a great business, and I'm excited for what the future holds as one of their partners.
