Coaching & accountability

You don’t need to have found a business before you book.

Tell us what you’re trying to do.

We can talk through finding opportunities, valuation, funding, deal structure, negotiation, due diligence or a live deal you’re already working on.

What do you need help with?

Targets & Sourcing

What you want to buy, where to find opportunities, approaching owners and managing potential deals.

Valuation & Deal Economics

Earnings, adjustments, price, affordability and whether the numbers make sense.

Funding & Deal Structure

Funding options, vendor finance, earn-outs, investor capital and how the deal could be structured.

Negotiation & Heads of Terms

Price, terms, seller discussions, negotiation and getting to an agreed Heads of Terms.

Due Diligence & Advisers

What needs checking before you buy and how to work with your legal, financial and tax advisers.

Completion & Repeat Acquisitions

Moving from due diligence through to completion, and building a process you can use again on future acquisitions.

This session may be useful if:

You want to buy your first business and don’t know where to start.
You’re already speaking to a seller and want help understanding the next steps.
You have a live opportunity and need help with price, earnings, affordability, funding or deal structure.
You understand the basics of acquisitions but want to learn how the full process works.
You want to buy more than one business and build a repeatable acquisition process.
You want to use acquisitions as another way to grow what you own.
You’re considering the Acquisitions Academy and want to understand whether it could help before committing.

You don’t need to have bought a business before.

The Session

We’ll spend 45 minutes talking about what you’re looking to buy, where you are in the process and what you need help with.

How We Help

If the Acquisitions Academy can help, we’ll explain how. If your situation needs separate professional advice, we’ll tell you.

The Next Step

We’ll explain the Acquisitions Academy, answer your questions and tell you what it costs. There’s no obligation to go ahead.

You don’t need to prepare anything complicated.

The booking form gives us the basic information about what you’re looking to buy and what you want help with.

If you already have a live opportunity, have the headline figures and details to hand – asking price, turnover, profit and anything the seller has proposed. Otherwise, just turn up ready to talk.

What to know before you book.

01 Is the session really free?

Yes. There is no charge for the 45-minute Acquisitions Advisory Session.

02 Do I need to have a live deal?

No. You can book before you’ve found a business, while you’re speaking to sellers, or when you already have a live opportunity.

03 Is this just a sales call for the Acquisitions Academy?

It’s a commercial conversation. If the Acquisitions Academy can help, we’ll explain how and what it costs. If it can’t, we’ll tell you.

04 Will you value a business or tell me what to offer?

We can talk through valuation principles, the numbers to look at and how to assess an opportunity. The free session is not a formal valuation, due-diligence opinion or transaction recommendation.

05 Will Obsessed find a business or arrange the funding for me?

No. The Acquisitions Academy teaches you how to find opportunities, approach owners, understand value, consider funding options and manage the acquisition process. It is not a brokerage, deal-sourcing or finance-broking service.

06 How much does the Acquisitions Academy cost?

We’ll explain the current programme fee and payment options during the call. The Acquisitions Academy is a 12-month programme, not a month-to-month membership.

07 What should I bring?

Nothing formal. If you have a live opportunity, have the headline details to hand. Otherwise, you don’t need to prepare anything before the call.
