For many first-time buyers, finding and acquiring the right business can feel overwhelming, especially while balancing a W-2 job, family, and financing hurdles.

In this webinar, Athena Simpson of AcquiMatch explores how buyers are outsourcing parts (or all) of their search, what different models of support look like, and how recent SBA rule changes could affect your search strategy.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your options, and how to speed up your path to ownership without going it alone or quitting your job.

Topics covered:

  • What buy-side advising means and why it matters.
  • Comparing search support models and which might fit your goals.
  • How new SBA rules impact financing search costs (and how some buyers apply search fees toward their down payment).
  • The hidden cost of a slow search (and why expert help matters).
  • Full-time searching vs. keeping your W-2: why the right support can change your timeline.
  • How competition for good deals is heating up and how to stay ahead.
