Welcome to Clearly Acquired

We're On A Mission To Clean Up The Business Acquisition Chaos.

The acquisition space is all the rave right now, but if you're in it, you know it's messy. If we're honest, buyers are not as prepared as they need to be. Listing quality is often subpar. And the people that need to be involved, i.e., lenders, are often left waiting on the outside of the deal. We're building something that simplifies and streamline every step, turning the messy acquisition process into a smooth, transparent, and efficient experience for buyers, brokers, and lenders.

Until now, business acquisition has been challenging...

The current process and toolset for buyers, brokers, and banks have led to delays, increased costs, and missed opportunities, making the entire transaction cumbersome and inefficient.

Brokers Create Quality Listings

Brokers create quality business listings by following a structured and detailed process. Initially, they gather comprehensive information about the business, including financial performance, market position, and unique selling points. This data is then meticulously organized and presented in a clear, concise format, highlighting key details such as revenue, profit margins, and growth potential. Brokers also include high-quality visuals, such as images and charts, to enhance the listing's appeal. Additionally, they craft compelling narratives that emphasize the business's strengths and opportunities, ensuring the listing attracts and engages potential buyers effectively.

Listings Are Reviewed & Approved

Platform administrators then meticulously review each listing, verifying the information provided and assessing its completeness. They also ensure that the listing adheres to platform guidelines and standards. If necessary, administrators may request additional information or clarifications from the broker or user. Once the review is complete and the listing meets all criteria, it is approved and published on the platform, making it accessible to potential buyers who are seeking investment opportunities. This process helps maintain the platform's credibility and ensures that buyers receive reliable and transparent information about businesses for sale.

Buyers Request Access To Listings

Upon selecting a listing, buyers submit a request to access the data room, where detailed financial and operational information about the business is stored. This request is reviewed by platform administrators or the broker managing the listing. Once approved, the buyer gains access to the data room, where they can review confidential documents and information such as financial statements, contracts, customer data, and operational metrics. This process is crucial for buyers to conduct thorough due diligence and make informed decisions about potential acquisitions, while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive business information.

“Turning my dream of entrepreneurship into a reality...”

My experience with Clearly Acquired has been as a prospective buyer of a small business in the Colorado market. As someone working on the acquisition of my first company, I don’t think it would be possible without the help I have received—and continue to receive—from their team. I’ve read popular books like Buy Then Build and the HBR Guide to Buying a Small Business, which were both helpful. However, the education I get as part of the curriculum on their platform breaks things down in a more practical, easy-to-consume way, and I can easily refer back to it if needed.

Not only is the education on-demand, but I also participate in live coaching calls that expand on concepts and processes I don’t fully grasp yet. Beyond the coaching calls, I’ve also found that Samson and the team are willing to assist on an ad hoc basis, whether through text or by jumping on a one-off call with me.

Another valuable component I receive is guidance around financing a business acquisition. They’re not only knowledgeable about SBA options but also offer invaluable insights and experience in creative financing strategies that help get deals across the finish line—especially valuable for someone making their first acquisition. They size up deals and leverage their network of lending institutions to find the best possible options, which makes me feel confident that I have the highest probability of closing. Managing this while holding a full-time job is far more feasible with their help every step of the way.

Could I go through this process alone? Sure. But knowing they’re in my corner makes me that much more confident that I WILL turn my dream of entrepreneurship into a reality.

“Can’t say enough...”

I honestly can’t say enough about Samson and the team at Clearly Acquired. As everyone who runs a business knows there are times when growth is essential, but not necessarily congruent with increased cashflow.  I run the top Private Training Facility in Colorado and when we were ready for another expansion, we turned to Clearly Acquired to help us secure the financing we needed to expand the facility and buy the new equipment. The team was professional and the process was quick. They were able to work their magic, getting us approved and funded in 2 weeks! I write this review as a sincere thank you to the team for allowing our company to continue to thrive.

“I would highly recommend...”

Clearly acquired / Samsons leadership was a great asset for my company when we decided it was the right time to sell. My company mountain west disposal started in 2019 and quickly grew into one of the premier waste and recycling companies in northern Colorado. Having multiple one on ones with Samson and his team to make sure our company’s growth was geared towards market share increase leading towards a clean sale. Samson and his team worked hand in hand with me until the finish. Networking is one of the biggest struggles I have seen other companies have troubles with. Teaming up with Samson and clearly acquired helped me connect the dots with other industries. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to buy to sell their company having Samson and his team be involved in the process.

“Unbelievable service...”

So thankful for these guys! My husband and I are currently building a new CycleBar Franchise and SBA continued to let us down with service and funding. Once we reached out to Clearly Acquired they gave us unbelievable service (like over the top service) and the speed of the loan process was ridiculous. It was almost too good to be true. But it was real! And they saved our butts. We will 100% be using them in the future.
