HOWDY!
Buying a business is your goal?
Don´t know how to find your business?
Are you frustrated because targets don't want to negotiate with you?
…because you can´t answer the question “Why you?”
…because you think 100% sellers finance is a good idea?
…because you don´t have a story as a buyer?
Or do you simply not know how to find targets that suit you and cannot be found on the usual public listing portals?
"Only 10% of buyers fail to meet the company price offered. 90% simply fail because of their own story and cannot answer the seller's question - why he should sell to them."
Andre Achtermeier
90% of all M&A buy-side projects fail because of the acquisition story.
There are exactly 2 reasons why most business buyers can’t even make an offer. The lack of a purchase story and the lack of deal flow.
Just imagine..
…we create your perfect buyer story to answer the question of the seller “Why should I sell my business to you?”
…we do active deal sourcing for you and find targets that are not on the market.
…we bring you in front of sellers and help you to generate a steady deal flow.
…we connect you with experts of our network like lawyers, finance experts, growth experts, tax experts, COOs
Andre Achtermeier
"It's not about offering the highest price for a company. It's primarily about getting the chance to submit an offer."
My name is Andre Achtermeier and my passion is to help people to become an entrepreneur through acquisition. Acquire the business that matches your dream and grow it. Sustainable and long term.
I do M&A for living. Since 2008. With my own M&A boutique in Europe and in the USA. With a proven track record and own exits and purchases. I have a Deal Sourcing team in the USA. We find your target that is not on the market.
I prepare you for your first acquisition and I am on your side with only one goal: Your first closing of a deal.
It´s about YOU.
Don’t waste time and money in one of the many online communities. You and your project need a very individual structure. Not every deal is the same. Not every business buyer is the same.
"Remember... You're not the only one who wants to buy a business. So why should the seller sell to you?"
