I dove into the world of online website acquisition, as that is what i was most familiar with from my marketing background- it has helped add solid income of top of my day job. Ben is a wealth of knowledge on a variety of niches, which is extremely impressive! The advice especially when it comes to creatively structuring deals is invaluable. When it comes to advice, I would say to do your homework, then do it again. Really, understanding what you're getting into is half the battle. I cannot understate how important it is to be around like-minded individuals who are also on a mission to succeed! It really helps to you push yourself further and strive to make the best step forward possible.

I acquired a pool repair and maintenance business. Let's just say I was at the point that I mentally could not do my current job any more. It was killing me. I joined Ben's group in October 2024. I listened to the serious people in the group and purchased my business in March. I work half the hours I used to work and make more money than I ever have in my life. There are some very smart people in this group. I quickly learned who knew what they were doing and reached out to them for help and guidance. Ben looked over the initial finances for the business and that helped me move forward. He also gave me advice on an initial business and I ended up dropping that one. For advice to others, you must be stubborn with brokers and continue to push. As a woman, I was initially discounted in the business purchase world and had to prove twice my worth. Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. There are roadblocks. You have to be tenacious to overcome them. I honestly would have never have had the gumption to do this without the community. I'll be ready to purchase another business once I get a handle on the current one. But listening to those who have done this and have become successful (and given you tips)...is key.

Ben is truly the BEST! If you are looking to be an entrepreneur and own multiple businesses, Ben is your guy. His teaching and coaching are very easy to digest, and the community he has built is top-tier. Ben has taught me more in 5 months than anything I learned in my 4 years in college. Ben, thank you for opening my eyes to the world of business acquisitions. I am forever thankful.

I just recently closed on a small manufacturing company thanks to Ben’s group. It wasn’t as big as i originally planned but it was a great deal and will be a great starting point on my entrepreneurial career. Joining this group has give me the confidence I can build this into what I think it can be and it helped me get to this point in the first place - how to talk to brokers, how to build rapport with the seller and ultimately how to find a good deal. It takes lots of hard work and lots of patience but anyone can do this. There is a ton of good advice and people to help bounce ideas and questions off of and like any good community it’s the people that make it great.

I joined Acquisition Ace in February 2024. So far, it is everything I expected and more. I'm very happy I joined, and feel lucky to be a part of this exciting and growing community of entrepreneurs! Still searching the perfect deal, but Ben and his team have given me many valuable tools to aid me in the search, and I feel confident closing a deal will be a reality in the next few months. My advice to others would be, don't hesitate on moving forward with small business acquisition, just go for it!!

Meeting with the sellers of a pool route with 140 accounts that would add an extra 145k of cash flow to my income and the team is already in place so work load not increasing very much at all. Just billing. I own my own pool route full service and I joined Acquisition Ace to move away and acquire other businesses but after speaking with Ben and some others in the group and listening to their guidance I’ve decided to continue to grow the pool business bc ultimately “boring businesses pay”. My biggest piece of advice would be to find people who have had tons of success (Ben and Zach) and ask them constant questions on process and always get their feedback on what you are doing vs. what you should be doing. Also the classroom videos are a gamechanger. I can’t make them in person but I stay pretty up to date with the recordings and they are so helpful. It’s helped me tremendously, I went from not having a single clue what I was doing, or what business I wanted to buy, to meeting with the seller of a massive route in a few weeks. I just joined the group at the end of March it hasn’t even been a month. The class motivates you to grind and I couldn’t be happier I joined.

I am in the process of acquiring an auto body shop due to what I've learned in this group. The community is great, and there are very knowledgeable people willing to help every step of the way. I'm excited to be free to work on my own schedule and not be limited by my salary. If you're looking to acquire a business, you should save or be able to get at least $30k to make the process as easy as possible, and be ready to put in a lot of work.

Working with Ben has been a great experience. The lessons, zoom calls, and resources are well worth the price of the program. However, having direct access to Ben for advice has been invaluable. I tried a business acquisition prior to joining which was unable to close for several reasons. At that time, I wish that I had advice from someone more experienced in the acquisition world. Getting feedback from Ben has been extremely helpful and we have offers going out on two businesses this week.

Ben is extremely responsive, helpful, insightful, right to the point, I can't say enough good things about this program! It is at your own pace, and Ben is here to support and teach. Great experience so far!
