Buying a business sounds simple: find a great company, make an offer, close the deal, and become an owner.
The reality is much more complicated.
Join Mark Fleming, CFA, FRM, for an open AMA on what it actually takes to buy, operate, and grow small businesses. Since acquiring his first company in 2017, Mark has partnered with operators to buy 20+ businesses across multiple industries, exited two, and advised buyers through more than 100 additional acquisition processes.
Bring your questions about finding deals, evaluating opportunities, financing acquisitions, negotiating with sellers, structuring partnerships, navigating diligence, and avoiding expensive mistakes.
Whether you're actively searching, preparing for your first acquisition, or thinking about building a portfolio of businesses, this is your chance to ask questions and hear lessons learned from hundreds of real deals (including the ones he walked away from).
