The Strategy Mitch Shared

Mitch went from corporate (Meta, P&G) to CEO in under a year by focusing on high-EBITDA service businesses. Here's the exact playbook he used to find, fund, and close his deal.

Creative Deal Structuring

Learn how Mitch mitigated customer concentration risk with a 50% forgivable seller note tied to performance milestones — making a $6.3M deal work with minimal equity.

The SBA 7(a) + Equity Stack

Understand Mitch's financing structure: $2.8M SBA loan, $1M from investors, $100K personal capital. Get the framework for convincing banks and LPs you're serious.

Deal Sourcing That Works

How Mitch found Vertex through a broker, lost it to another buyer, then got it back a year later when that deal fell through. Patience and relationships matter.

Acquiring a $6M Niche Marketing Business

Mitch opens up about the unseen side of ETA: the long stretches without wins, the emotional investment in near-deals, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when nothing closes.

Sound Familiar?

I don't have $2M sitting around. How do I actually finance a deal without being independently wealthy?
There's one big customer (30%+ of revenue). How do I not get left holding the bag if they leave?
I've been searching for 6+ months with no deal. How do I stay motivated through constant rejection?
