The Acquisition Roadmap

Learn more about the Accelerator.

Acquira’s Acquisition Roadmap allows our partners to enjoy all of our deal search training material at their own pace.

As you embark on the Acquisition Roadmap, you will go through the Gauntlet – a primer on business acquisitions that will allow you and Acquira an opportunity to vet one another. This works as an investment towards your knowledge of business acquisitions, and it’s how we select the people we work with to buy businesses.

Where the Gauntlet serves as a primer on business acquisition, the Acceleration Program delves deep into all aspects of the business buying process. Whether you are just starting out, you’ve already looked at a few deals, or you found and closed on a business and are looking to expand it, we cover it all.

How it works

The Acquisition Roadmap will help you develop your investment thesis and ensure that it is tested on real-world businesses as you analyze and screen several deals.

The Roadmap is broken into a series of modules:

  • The Gauntlet
  • The Acceleration Program: Part 1 - Crafting & Iterating Your Investment Thesis
  • The Acceleration Program: Part 2 - Search, Screen, & Secure

The Acquisition Roadmap will teach you how to source deals through brokers, help you build relationships with brokers and sellers, and teach you how to do an in-depth analysis of business deals. That analysis will allow you to disqualify bad deals until you find the perfect fit for your investment thesis.
