Acquisition Lab

About

Acquisition Lab is a US-based accelerator and community platform for entrepreneurs seeking to buy small businesses. The program has supported over 200 completed deals with more than $350 million in total transaction value. Acquisition Lab provides a structured curriculum covering the full acquisition lifecycle, from deal sourcing and evaluation to due diligence, financing, negotiation, and post-acquisition management. Members gain access to a proprietary deal flow platform, financial analysis tools, templates, and a peer community of fellow searchers. The program also connects members with a network of lenders, brokers, attorneys, and accountants experienced in SME transactions. Acquisition Lab is designed for self-funded searchers and independent sponsors rather than traditional search fund entrepreneurs, and it caters to both first-time buyers and experienced professionals transitioning into business ownership. The program operates on a membership model with ongoing support after acquisition.
