🏨

Acquira Ascend Workshop

An invite-only, multi-day live workshop for members who are actively searching and have reached key program milestones. Acquira covers accommodations and meals. Immersive, high-impact, in-person learning.

📈

ACE Management Framework

Post-close training for operating and scaling your acquisition. The ACE (Acquire, Cultivate, Exit) framework gives you a proven playbook for growing the business you just bought.

Your Path from Search to Close

Acquira is designed to help you close as fast as possible. Put your all into it and you could close your first deal faster than you think — here's how the program supports you every step of the way.

🔎

Step 1: The Search

Define your investment thesis. Set up broker profiles, activate your ClickUp deal flow, and begin evaluating on-market opportunities that match your criteria.

📝

Step 2: Deal Review

Present qualified deals to Acquira's expert team. Receive structured feedback on deal quality, pricing, and your thesis — and keep refining your search until you find the right one.

🏨

Step 3: Ascend Workshop

An invite-only, multi-day live workshop for members who are actively searching and have reached key program milestones. Acquira covers accommodations and meals.

📂

Step 4: Due Diligence

Dig into the financials with Acquira's calculators, checklists, and AI tools. Use your coaching sessions to pressure-test your analysis and get expert eyes on the deal before you're committed.

🔑

Step 5: Closing

Prepare your SBA financing package, work with closing attorneys, finalize the purchase agreement, and take ownership of your business. Acquira's team is with you through the finish line.

📈

Step 6: Stabilize & Grow

Transition into ownership with the ACE Management Framework — Acquira's post-close operating system for stabilizing operations and building toward growth.

This is a DIY process — and the timeline is yours to own. Some members have closed deals within 3 months of joining. For a buyer starting from square one, the goal is ownership in under a year. And if a deal falls through? You keep working the program — there's no clock running against you.

Built for a Specific Kind of Buyer

The Acquira Accelerator isn't for everyone. It's designed for serious buyers with the capital, mindset, and motivation to close.

💼

Professionals with Liquid Capital to Invest

You have the financial runway to pursue a real acquisition and qualify for SBA financing on a meaningful business.

Common Questions, Honest Answers

Still have questions? Book a strategy call and ask our team directly.

Do I need to quit my job to do this?
No — and this is one of the most important things Acquira gets right. The program is designed for corporate professionals who are still employed. Most of the work — evaluating deals, reviewing financials, attending weekly calls — happens outside of business hours. The Acquira Accelerator is a self-directed process: some members close within 3 months of joining, while others take longer depending on market conditions or deal complexity. If a deal falls through, you keep working the program. There's no expiration date on your commitment to ownership.
What industries do Acquira buyers typically target?
Acquira buyers have successfully closed acquisitions in home services, trades (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), landscaping, commercial cleaning, auto services, and other cash-flow-stable, SBA-friendly industries. The ClickUp deal flow and coaching are calibrated around businesses in the $500K–$1.5M EBITDA range that qualify for SBA 7(a) financing. Your coaching sessions help you narrow your investment thesis to the industries that fit your background and goals.
How is this different from other acquisition programs?
Most acquisition courses deliver content and stop there. The Acquira Accelerator is a complete system — it combines structured training with active deal flow, unlimited expert deal reviews, custom AI tools, one-on-one coaching, and a live workshop. You're not just learning how acquisition works; you're working through it with an expert team behind you at every step. The Ascend Workshop and Empower Partnership pathway are also features no other program offers.
What happens after I close my acquisition?
You don't lose your Acquira community or resources after closing. The ACE Management Framework — included in your 24-month access — provides post-close operational training for running and growing your business.
Is there financing available for the program fee?
Payment plans may be available — ask our team during your strategy call. Additionally, the $12,500 fee may be tax-deductible as a business education expense (consult your CPA), and some buyers have successfully included it as a closing cost in their SBA loan package. We'll discuss all options during your call to make sure you're set up for success.
