Experience You Can Trust From Experts

Learn directly from seasoned lawyers, investors, brokers, and operators with lived experience in business acquisitions. Their hard-won insights will fast-track your understanding of sourcing, valuation, and financing, so you can move from curiosity to clarity.

Virtual, High-Impact Learning Journey

Over 4 weeks, you’ll gain clarity on what it takes to acquire a business in Canada valued between $5M and $15M—including how to fund the purchase and the key skills required for success. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to decide if business acquisition is right for you, and know when and how to move forward.

 

The ETA program provided a clear, practical roadmap for pursuing acquisition. The curriculum was hands-on, the guest speakers shared relevant real-world lessons with openness, and the peer network made the experience even more valuable by asking great questions and offering fresh perspectives.
