DISTILLED // ACQUIRECHECK A DEAL
BUY / ACQUISITION PATH

DON'T BUY YOURSELF A JOB.

Define the buyer box, prove the economics, understand the capital stack, and pursue businesses that can survive debt service and still be worth owning.

A good acquisition is not a listing you like. It is a business that fits your capital, experience, return requirements, and operating reality.

THE NEXT MOVE

MOVE THE DEAL FORWARD—OR KILL IT FOR A GOOD REASON.

Use the next layer only when the evidence earns it. Discovery should lead to analysis. Analysis should lead to financing, diligence, structure, or a disciplined no.
