A new one lands every week
Get it on your phone the day it goes out.
Example deals. Real ones go out in the group every week.
You don't have a money problem. You have a reps problem.
People who end up owning a business rarely buy the first one they see. They buy after they've seen fifty.
Join free on WhatsAppNot another accountability group
Most buyer programs give you a monthly check-in and a group to report to. That helps if you already have deals to work. Most buyers don't.
Searches stall because people haven't seen enough real businesses to recognize a good one. So we start there.

Questions
Is it actually free?
Yes. No card and no application.
Do I need to be ready to buy right now?
No. Most people join to see what's for sale first.
How is this different from a searcher accountability group?
Accountability groups help you stay on track with deals you've already found. We help you find them: a real deal every week, the numbers to judge it, and guides to screen it. No application, and no success fees.
What does it cost to see everything?
Pro is $200 a month for every deal we post (multiple new businesses a week) and our models. Our first 50 members pay $100 a month for their first year. See Pro
How does Deal Team work?
Apply, have a short call with one of us, and if it's a fit we send your enrollment link. We go over pricing on your call. See Deal Team
Will you guarantee I buy a business?
No. We get you ready to judge a deal and submit an LOI. No success fees.
Stop thinking about it. Start looking.
