Webinar Invitation: Navigating M&A as a First-Time Business Buyer
I will be joining Tom Dillon, Founder of Frak Finance, for a live webinar on Wednesday, May 12th at 1:00 PM Central, as part of a new series focused on the real-world dynamics of entrepreneurship through acquisition. Tom brings extensive experience as a fractional CFO and M&A advisor, and together we will examine how first-time buyers can effectively position themselves to acquire a business in today’s increasingly competitive environment.
Session Title: Introduction to ETA and M&A
Date & Time: Wednesday, May 15, 1:00 PM Central

Topics We’ll Cover:
How to build credibility and trust with business owners from the outset
What lenders are evaluating—and how to prepare accordingly
The importance of industry focus and domain familiarity
Common mistakes that derail transactions and how to avoid them
How to prepare like a professional to earn the confidence of both sellers and financing partners
I will also share a practitioner’s perspective on how successful buyers distinguish themselves in a crowded field—not by being the loudest, but by being the most prepared.
The session will conclude with a live Q&A. If you are pursuing, or considering, a first acquisition, this conversation is designed to provide clear, candid guidance.
Sincerely,
Matthias
