Acquisition University

Ready to become a business owner? Now discover everything you need to know to acquire your first business— from identifying the right opportunities, to mastering negotiation and financing strategies, to successfully navigating your first 90 days in charge

Is this you?

You make a decent salary as an employee, but you're working too hard and not earning enough to live the life you really want. Maybe you're new to investing, or you've tried real estate, crypto, and starting a business from scratch without much luck. Either way, you know you want to buy a business in the next year, and you're excited to get started.

Surrounding yourself with progress-driven people is transformative. Their determination is contagious, inspiring you to push harder and aim higher. You'll be part of a network that lifts each other up and celebrates every success.

I've dreamed of financial independence since my first job after business school 10 years ago. The Acquisition Community has been invaluable, with mutual support that's truly inspiring. Together, we turn ambitions into reality, driving each other to achieve our financial goals.

Bryan Johnson

Without this community, I'd still be stuck in my 9-5, trying to figure things out alone. The guidance and support here have been game-changing, providing insights and encouragement that boosted my confidence. Let's achieve our dreams together!

👋🏻 Say goodbye to your day job

As long as you're trading time for money, there's always going to be a limit on what you can earn.


This course will show you everything you need to buy a business within 3-12 months, using no money of your own and without personal debt. It's less risky than starting a business from scratch and much easier because someone else has already done the hard work. By the end, you'll not only own a business—you'll be in control of your future.

Here’s what you’ll learn

At Acquisition University, we teach you how to buy, value, structure, and finance a profitable business. We'll start by helping you figure out what kinds of businesses fit your goals and where to find them.


You'll learn how to talk smoothly with potential sellers and negotiate like a pro. We'll also show you how to properly value businesses so you know you're getting a fair deal, and we'll cover some unique financing options.


We'll even give you tips on how to make the most of your first 90 days as a business owner.

Kami Ryan

Who is Kami Ryan?

As the Co-founder and CEO of Acquisition Mastery, Kami is a seasoned entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in founding, scaling, and selling businesses across various industries, including local service-based businesses, consumer products, and online companies with EBITDA ranging from $1M to $10M.


With a strong background in digital marketing and sales, Kami has consistently demonstrated his expertise in business growth and development.


His educational background (B.a. Odontolgy) led to his first business acquisition — a dental practice — which he acquired using "Consulting For Equity" with $0 out-of-pocket. In four years, Kami successfully scaled the dental practice from $500K to $7M in annual revenue.


Residing in Dubai, Kami invests in, advises, and teaches business owners how to buy, leverage, grow, scale, and exit their companies, making him uniquely qualified to teach this course.

How many businesses does Kami own? How does he manage to operate them all?

Kami manages a portfolio of companies, most with their own operators or CEOs, requiring minimal daily involvement from him.


This is the principle he teaches in our programs: Buy your first business for $0 out of pocket without personal risk, then hire a capable operator or keep the existing one, but remove yourself from the businesses and go from working in the businesses to working on the businesses assuming the role of investor and owner. Subsequently, expand this model with your own holding company and further acquisitions. The concept is straightforward, though its execution is challenging.

Why does Kami teach this if he makes millions a year and own many businesses?

First of all, the math alone shows that it is impossible for Kami, Abdalla and Billy to buy all the businesses. Heck, even Black Rock or KKR can't buy all the businesses in the world. It's also a very dangerous game to play if the big guys own everything, and we "rent" from them. It's concerning that they already own more than enough so to prevent the rich getting richer and the rest of us keep "shrinking", it's much better if we all own our communities.


Instead seeing McDonalds, Starbucks and Taco Bell on every corner, we want more local owners and family shops. As citizens we used to be owners, but now we're slowly becoming "owned".


Our mission at Acquisition Mastery is to change this! We want to help 1 million people to free their minds, become owners and live life on their own terms. And that's exactly why we are doing this.

FAQs

Go from employee to owner without the risk and expense of a start-up, finally becoming your own boss and stopping the cycle of making someone else rich! If you already own a business, transition from operator to investor and learn how to remove yourself from your business so your money works for you.


We help you every step of the way, from a total beginner with zero business experience and capital to an experienced investor with the skills to buy, leverage, scale, and potentially exit profitable businesses ranging from $1M to $10M EBITDA. Regardless of your experience or where you are in your business journey, we are here to support you.

How will I find businesses to buy?

We teach you exactly where to find listed deals and off market deals, we assist you in identifying the ideal sector, locating companies of interest, connecting you with suitable deals, providing access to automated deal flow strategies, training, due diligence framework, LOI, deal review calculator, and multilevel support for acquisitions.

How long does it take to complete the Acquisition University?

Our programs are specifically designed for BUSY people and are completely self-paced and flexible for your schedule.


After completing one lesson, you can proceed to the next at your convenience. Completion is approximately 4-8 weeks, but you can progress more quickly if you prefer. With a total of 50+ hours of total video content spread across multiple courses, each course may seem shorter than expected.


Our Bootcamp takes 3 months and after that you will work with us until you buy your first business.

How long does it take to buy my first business?

Based on a combination of luck, hard work, and expectations, the level of involvement both pre- and post-acquisition depends on individual needs, circumstances, and motivation. We've seen clients buy their first businesses in as little as 5 weeks, while others take up to a year. The timeline is entirely up to you.

How will I pay for the business?

We teach 20+ ways to acquire businesses and will have courses that cover each method in depth. Our Seller Finance Blueprint mainly focuses on Seller Financing aka. Other People's Money (OPM) aka. Leverage Buy-out (LBO) aka. Self Liquidating Acquisitions. You will learn everyting you need in to buy profitable businesses for $0 out of pocket and with zero personal risk.

What is the investment for Seller Finance Blueprint?

It's completely free. It's priced at $500 but currently we're offering it for $0 for those who aren't sure if acquisition is right for them and hesistate to invest in our University or Bootcamp.

What is the investment for accessing the Acquisition Community?

It's free for now, but in the future the price will change. We're building a winning community of peers and experts, where you'll never feel alone on your path to becoming a successful business owner. Network with other members, share deals for honest feedback, and even collaborate on deals together.

How do I decide between the University or Bootcamp?

For a full year of expert guidance and accountability, including weekly live coaching calls, deal reviews, access to information, resources, and a supportive community, our Acquisition University is your ideal choice. Many clients have successfully mastered the intricacies of business acquisition and become owners through this program. Acquiring a business, particularly your first, can be a lengthy and challenging process.


If you want the fastest and proven way, and you're fully committed to purchasing a business within the next 3-12 months and seek exclusive 1-1 coaching from us, with the option to partner up with us on your first business, we recommend enrolling in our Acquisition Bootcamp. If you get accepted into our Bootcamp you will automatically get full access to everything in our University and Community too.

I am currently traditionally employed. Should I join Acquistion Mastery?

Most of our clients are typically employed in traditional roles. Many are highly skilled and well-compensated but feel burnt out in their current jobs or are tired of building someone else's wealth, or both. Acquisition Mastery aims to educate you on how to transition away from (or supplement) your full-time job, allowing you to move past side hustling for good.

What makes Acquisition Mastery different from all other courses?

The main distinction lies in the approach we take in our programs and community compared to every other course out there. We follow a very specific path. Instead of inundating you with 50+ hours of videos and leaving you to decide what to do and when, we provide you with every step of the process. We show you what to do, why it's important, how to do it, and provide templates and exercises for each task.


After completing each step, we guide you to the next one. This approach builds momentum, delivers small, quick wins, and keeps you motivated and eager to progress. These elements are crucial for boosting your confidence and improving your chances of achieving your goal.


Another significant difference is our focus on teaching you how to acquire the best off-market deals and utilize seller financing to negotiate the most profitable deal possible in a creative manner. Many other courses either neglect to cover this aspect or do not do so effectively. They often encourage the use of a broker (who represents the seller, not the buyer) and advise going into debt to buy a business (which is not ideal).


Our goal is for you to secure the best business with the best deal, using little to no money of your own.

Will this work for someone who has zero business experience?

Absolutely! We see it everyday!

This system has benefited crypto investors, actors, marketers, engineers, analysts, health experts, dentists and individuals from various other fields. You don't need to be a business expert, quite the opposite. In fact, it's likely better if you're not, as you'll be more receptive to following our established process.


All the strategies taught are based on universal business and deal making principles and are not specific to any particular industry.

What if I'm already a business owner? Will your programs still work for me?

It depends. Are you doing exactly what you want, how you want, and when you want in life? If the answer is no, and you're hungry for change, then absolutely, it will work! We've had entrepreneurs and business owners already in the field who have taken our programs to assist them in acquiring additional businesses to expand their portfolios or enhance their current ventures.

What are the requirements to join your Univeristy or Bootcamp?

To ensure every client gets the coaching and support they need to succeed, we only accept a limited number of new applicants every month. We are currently only considering individuals based on compatibility, who is likely to get results, and dedicated to buying their first business within one calendar year.

How long is the membership?

Acquisition University is a 1 year membership and Acquisition Bootcamp is a 3-month 1-on-1 mentorship program and 1 year access to the Acquisition University. Membership renewals for the University is based on specific conditions. Both programs automatically gives you access to our Acquisition Community.


It's important to remember that business buying and operations are long-term endeavors, not quick fixes!

Do you offer guarantees?

Is anything in life truly guaranteed? Let's be absolutely clear – we cannot promise any specific level of success or earnings (please read our earnings disclaimer if you wish). Simply put, you are accountable for your own outcomes.


We can offer you the recipe, but it's up to you to gather the ingredients and prepare the meal. We'll be like Jamie Oliver in the kitchen, warning you if you're about to make a mistake, and cheering you on with high-fives and celebrations when you successfully close your first business deal.

Is the University or Bootcamp for me?

The only way to be certain you are a right fit for our University or Bootcamp is to book a call, during which we will evaluate your situation and see if we can help.


Our programs are not for everyone, and we are very selective with the clients we work with and accept into our community.


Because of this, we will not offer you anything unless we believe you will get a massive return on investment. Our success rate is high for those who are committed and make the most of our coaching and program. Just as a doctor offers a prescription only if he is certain it can help the patient, we offer our solution only if we are certain it can help you achieve your goals.


We work exclusively with people we know we can help. The only way to determine this with certainty is to jump on a call with our team.

Own a business,
own your future.
