The only small business acquisition education taught by operators and
dealmakers who’ve closed $500M+ in SMB acquisitions
Whether you're new to entrepreneurship through acquisition or preparing to close your first acquisition, SMBootcamp provides practical training grounded in the realities of small business ownership. We equip you with the skills and confidence to take action and become a knowledgeable acquisition entrepreneur.
"Sam, Drew, Matt and team do a terrific job laying out the fundamentals of search, so you are well-equipped out in the field. We even did a live review in front of the group of an LOI we were submitting that Friday."
"What makes SMBootcamp stand out is that the value doesn't end after the three-day program. The biggest benefit is the ecosystem and network you become part of."
"Acquired an SMB 5 months after attending Bootcamp. Attending Bootcamp saved me precious time and increased my odds of reaching closing."
"After 20+ years in corporate sales, the thought of trading a high-paying job with little equity for a lower-paying one for 100% equity was daunting. Going through SMBootcamp LIVE changed everything."
Day 1 covers deal sourcing, screening, and crafting thoughtful offers. You'll dive into real deals through live case studies, engaging directly with our SBA lender and business broker to learn SBA financing and positioning with sellers.
Day 2 focuses on financial analysis and due diligence. Using our ongoing case study approach, you'll practice valuation, financial modeling, and explore critical 3rd party diligence topics including tax, insurance, and quality of earnings with our Deal Team experts.
Day 3 wraps up with best practices for equity capital raising and a preview into post-acquisition life with our Alumni CEOs. You'll learn how to structure the equity raise and gain real-world insights from Alumni who've successfully completed their own acquisitions.
