- Is This Course For You?
Built for the serious buyer. Not the curious one.
This course is designed for people who are ready to move. If you recognize yourself in
one of these three descriptions, you are in the right place.
The Corporate Escapee
10–20 years in a corporate career. High earner, limited upside. You want ownership, autonomy, and wealth-building a salary cannot provide. You have the capital. You need the playbook.
This course gives you
The complete acquisition framework buy box to closing built for someone with capital and no prior M&A experience.
The Aspiring Owner
Done with startup failure rates. You want cash flow from day one, not year five. Ready to skip the proving-concept phase and buy something that already works.
This course gives you
The sourcing strategy, financial tools, and SBA financing framework to close your first deal even if you have never done one.
The Experienced Operator
You have run businesses before, but you have never done an acquisition. You need the M&A-specific framework: valuation, deal structure, SBA mechanics, and LOI strategy.
This course gives you
The deal-specific layer you are missing is financial analysis, LOI structure, due diligence, and the first 90 days framework.
Right for you if
You are willing to do the work. You understand that buying a business is a serious financial decision that requires preparation. You are ready to build a framework before you fall in love with a deal.
Not for you if
You are looking for a get-rich-quick shortcut, unwilling to evaluate a real deal, or expecting to close an.

Results, not reviews
I had been thinking about buying a business for three years. After Module 4 alone I identified two add-backs in the seller's financials that the broker had buried. That one skill paid for this course a hundred times over.
📍 Identified $47K in legitimate add-backs. Closed first acquisition at recasted valuation.
Marcus T.
Former VP Operations, Indianapolis
The SBA module alone is worth ten times the price. I had no idea how to even talk to a lender before this. Now I have two preferred lender relationships and a deal in LOI. Corey teaches this the way someone who has actually done it teaches it.
📍 Built SBA lender relationships. First LOI submitted within 60 days of completing Module 5.
Danielle W.
Corporate Executive → First-Time Buyer, Columbus OH
I've read every EtA book, listened to every podcast. Nothing gave me the deal- specific, practitioner-level framework this course does. The Buy Box Builder alone changed how I look at every deal.
📍 Closed first acquisition (HVAC service company, $680K SDE) within 4 months of completing the course.

The questions that actually matter
Is this worth it if I do not have capital to buy a business yet?
Yes, and arguably this is the best time to take it. Most students who close deals in year one started preparation 12 to 18 months earlier. Understanding deal structure, SBA requirements, and financial analysis before you have capital is what puts you in position to move fast when you are ready.
How is this different from ETA content on YouTube and in podcasts?
Most acquisition content is taught by people who write about it, consult on it, or study it academically. This course is built on 20 years of doing it, real deals, real capital, and real consequences. Every framework has been tested in live market conditions. That is the distinction that matters.
How long does it take to complete?
Most students finish the core 8 modules in 3 to 4 weeks at a pace of 2 to 3 hours per week. You have lifetime access, so you can move at your own speed. Students actively working on deals often revisit specific modules, especially 4 and 6, multiple times during their search.
What if I get into a deal and get stuck?
Tier 2 and Tier 3 students have access to community and group calls where deal specific questions are answered. Tier 1 students can upgrade at any time. A 1 on 1 Strategy Session add on is available for any student who wants direct deal advisory from Corey.
Do I need to be in Indianapolis or the Midwest?
No. The framework works in any market where Boomer owned businesses are concentrated, which is most of the United States. The Midwest is used as a case study because that is where these deals were sourced. The principles apply nationally.
Is there a refund policy?
There is a 14 day refund policy for students who complete less than 25 percent of the course content. Students who do the work find value. The standard for this course is execution, not entertainment.
