Introduction
When I first embarked on my journey to acquire a business, I quickly found myself amidst a sea of challenges and uncertainties. As someone who was still working full-time, juggling a day job with the demanding process of buying a business proved to be more complex than I'd imagined. My background in sales gave me a sense of confidence, but I soon realized that systematizing my search and getting in front of qualified businesses required more than just determination.
Facing Overwhelming Challenges
Initially, reaching out to brokers felt like an uphill battle. The competition was fierce, and I often found myself being questioned about my seriousness and ability to close a deal. Despite my efforts, I was left feeling deflated and frustrated. I needed guidance to cut through the noise and focus my efforts on what truly mattered in my search.
A Turning Point: Discovering AcquiMatch
My turning point came when I learned about AcquiMatch through a community of like-minded individuals interested in business acquisition. Meeting Athena, the founder, at several events provided me with a new perspective and renewed hope. Her understanding of the market and structured approach instantly resonated with me, becoming a vital voice of reason throughout my journey.
Identifying the Real Challenges
Prior to working with AcquiMatch, my doubts were less about their effectiveness and more about my personal hurdles. It was essential for me to identify what exactly needed changing in my approach. I realized that to move forward successfully, I needed support in managing time constraints and clarifying what an ideal business looked like for me.
The Results: Beyond Expectations
Working with AcquiMatch has been transformative. Not only did I acquire a business three months ago, but my overall understanding of deal structuring and decision-making has drastically improved. AcquiMatch taught me how to effectively streamline my process and focus on priorities, allowing me to navigate uncertainty with more clarity and confidence.
Beyond acquiring a business, learning to structure deals creatively tripled my buying power, a result beyond my initial expectations. Moreover, the deal structuring brought about safety and security for the post-purchase phase, assuring the stability of my new business venture.

Buying a business is not for the faint-hearted, but if you're stuck or seeking progress, AcquiMatch can provide the expertise and clarity you need.
