Hi there,
In-person ETA conferences are where this community really comes together. What started as small meetups is now a series of multi-day events with hundreds of buyers, operators, investors, and lenders. If you’re serious about buying a business, these gatherings fast-track your learning and your network.
Why being there matters: You can get real-time feedback from lenders, look investors in the eye, and swap unfiltered lessons with operators. The best conversations often happen over coffee or in the hallway between sessions.
What you’ll learn:
- Building your deal team (attorney, lender, QoE, key partners)
- SBA lending & banking strategy (what lenders want, how to structure, how to avoid delays)
- Financial diligence (validating numbers, spotting red flags)
- Raising investor equity (finding aligned partners, structuring)
- Your first months as CEO (leading through transition, setting the tone for growth)
