Buyer Office Hours
Thinking about buying a business? Bring your questions.
Buyer Office Hours is a free, informal monthly session hosted by Morgan of Breakwater M&A. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered, “I’m thinking about buying a business, can I pick your brain?” Now there’s a standing time to do exactly that.
Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea or you’re already looking at a specific opportunity, join us on Google Meet for an open, conversational hour. Common topics include:
Where to find businesses for sale, and how to tell a good one from a pass
How deals are typically structured and financed (bank loans, vendor financing, earn-outs)
What to look for in the financials, and what “SDE” and “EBITDA” really mean
How valuation works and what’s a fair price
What the process looks like from first conversation to closing
Due diligence: what to ask for and what red flags to watch
Working with brokers, lawyers, accountants and lenders
Who it’s for: First-time buyers, searchers, operators looking to grow by acquisition, and anyone curious about business ownership through acquisition.
Format: Open Q&A over Google Meet. Come with a question, or just listen in and learn from others. Cameras optional.
Cost: Free. Registration required so we can send you the Meet link.
Please note this is a general educational session and isn’t a substitute for personalized legal, tax or financial advice. If you’d like to talk through a specific opportunity confidentially, let us know after the session and we’ll set up a one-on-one.
