How to Run an Efficient Small Business Search

Buying a small business sounds simple until you actually start searching. Suddenly you are juggling deal flow, broker calls, industry research, financial review, diligence, and legal concepts. All while trying to keep your life and job moving. This session is for the person who is ramping into acquisition entrepreneurship and wants real guidance, not a generic accelerator curriculum and not “just ask ChatGPT.” If you are smart, motivated, and serious about buying a business but feel overwhelmed by the volume of decisions and the lack of a clear path, this will click. We will walk through what an efficient search actually looks like in the real world: the phases of search, where people waste time, what progress looks like, and what it realistically takes to get competent. Spoiler: 5 hours a week is usually not enough. Most people underestimate the reps required (think hundreds of hours, not a weekend), and the main goal is to compress the learning curve by focusing on the highest-leverage work. What you will leave with: - A clear picture of the search process end-to-end and what “good” looks like at each stage - The real time commitment and why most searches stall - Practical ways to run search faster and cleaner (systems, workflows, decision filters) - A map of the core skill areas you need to build: deal sourcing, industry analysis, financial fluency, diligence, and negotiation A simple decision framework for your next step: learn it, hire it out, or partner Who this is for: - You want to buy a small business, but you do not want to wander for 12 months figuring it out the hard way - You want more hands-on support than an accelerator, and more signal than generic online content - You are ready to put in the work, but you want a more efficient path and fewer dead ends We will also share a bit of our own search context - what we have tried, what has worked, what has not - and why we believe 1:1 support can meaningfully cut down ramp time when you apply it correctly. If you have been circling ETA and keep thinking “this is a lot,” you are not wrong. Come get a sharper path.

Breaking into French Companies - Your Strategic Career Journey

Think L'Oréal, Chanel, Dior, Perrier, Cartier, and Airbus. These prestigious French brands represent just the tip of the iceberg in America's business landscape. Behind these household names are remarkable success stories like Sarah, who climbed from marketing coordinator to VP of North American Operations at a luxury goods company, Marcus who rose to General Manager at a major French aerospace supplier, and Elena who became Chief Strategy Officer at a leading French pharmaceutical subsidiary. What unites their journeys? They all grew through the ranks within French companies, embraced strategic assignments to France, and now enjoy sophisticated career paths with exceptional compensation packages that reward both performance and cultural adaptability. With French companies actively expanding their US operations and establishing new innovation centers across America, we're witnessing an unprecedented window of opportunity for ambitious professionals. Beyond the famous brands everyone recognizes, there are 5,400 French subsidiaries operating in the US, each offering significant professional opportunities for those who understand how to navigate their unique culture. French companies share one critical characteristic that sets them apart: they actively seek talented American personnel who can bridge cultures and they reward relationship-building with clear advancement paths and substantial compensation. Their approach combines French values of intellectual sophistication, hierarchical respect, and personalized leadership with appreciation for individual creativity and strategic thinking. What if this relationship-based, intellectually stimulating path to leadership is exactly your calling?
