Questions people ask
Is Acquisitions.com legit?
It appears so: 10+ years in business, $1B+ advised, named deals, and programs specific enough to check. It labels its targets as targets.
Do I need to be rich to buy a business?
No. Buyers typically bring about 10% (which can come from investors), the seller often carries part, and a bank funds the rest.
Is the advisor program a franchise?
No. There's no franchise fee, no royalty and no revenue share. Clients pay the advisor directly.
What if the advisor ads don't work?
If you don't hit $30K in client retainers in your first 2 months of live ads (having taken every call and used the script), you get the program fee back.
How long does buying take?
The firm targets 60–120 days from signing to closing. It's a target; the deal decides.
Do advisors need a licence?
In most cases no, according to the program, but it varies by state. Ask about yours on the call.
One firm, both sides of the deal.
