Acquisition Lab invites you to their event

The Owners Roundtable

About this event

You made it to the summit. Or you're about to. Either way, this is the part nobody warns you about.

The Owners Roundtable is a free, monthly conversation for searchers in the final stretch, under LOI or closing, through operators who already own the business and are figuring out how to run it. The climb to close the deal is hard. Operating what you bought, and eventually getting it to run without you, is a different climb entirely. This is the room for that one.

This is not a webinar. It's a small group, cameras on, talking through 2 or 3 topics per session. We bring a point of view to get each one going, then it's the room's conversation. We want the real version, the inherited mess, the hire you got wrong, the month the cash almost ran out, the things you'd never put in writing. Slots are limited. No recording is shared afterward. You have to be there and participate to get it.

A rotating sample of what we cover:

  • The first 90 days: what breaks when the prior owner ran it all in his head
  • Numbers you can actually run on: from shoebox to real financials
  • Profitable on paper, broke in the bank: cash flow and the debt squeeze
  • Your first real hire: filling the gap you can't cover yourself
  • The inherited team: who stays, who goes, key-person risk
  • Replacing yourself: getting the business to run without you
  • The seller transition: handoffs that worked and ones that didn't
  • The first hard call: a price increase, a lost customer, a tough renegotiation
  • What the QoE missed
  • The mental game: the personal guarantee, the loneliness, the 2am worries

Come ready to be on camera and jump in. The people who get the most out of this are the ones who talk. Bring whatever you're working through right now. This is the room where operators talk shop with other operators who actually own the thing.
