Buy a cash flowing business that a manager can run, at a Main Street price, with the numbers proven three ways.

This kit is your toolbox for a small business purchase: a buy box, a deal tracker board, worksheets, and checklists, all in one place.

The lessons that teach the system live in a free course on the site. This kit holds the tools you work with, deal by deal.

Who it is for: a first time buyer looking at a business priced roughly between $600k and $2M, who wants a business a manager can run, plans to use an SBA loan for part of the price, and wants a process instead of guesses.

Built by a buyer running this exact system in his own live search right now.
