"Since reaching out to the team I have acquired two automotive businesses, I'm currently working on acquiring my third and fourth. The information they provided me with gave me the secret to interacting with business owners/sellers. What I have learned by applying their counsel is that sellers don't care about the money...I've literally had a seller turn down a $500K cash offer from another buyer and take my offer which was considerably lower because she liked me, trusted me, and felt that I was the perfect person to take over her 45 year old automotive repair business."

"Their 100 ways to buy a business series is probably the best you can get and actually works! After my first meeting with Randall, I felt like I got another degree from just that hour alone. The breadth of knowledge and communication his team has is astounding! I'm already in the process of buying my first business with their help and I can say that so far, I'm impressed."
