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.
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.
Buyers often struggle with accessing accurate and comprehensive information about the business for sale, which can lead to poor decision-making and unexpected liabilities.
Determining the fair market value of a business can be complex and subjective, leading to potential overpayment or undervaluation, which affects the investment's profitability.
The due diligence process can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, involving extensive scrutiny of financial records, legal documents, and operational practices, which can delay the acquisition and increase costs.
Brokers often face difficulties in finding the right buyers for a business, as well as matching sellers with qualified and interested parties, which can prolong the transaction process.
Brokers need to manage and facilitate negotiations between buyers and sellers, which can become complex and contentious, requiring skillful mediation to reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Maintaining the confidentiality of the business sale while marketing it effectively is a major challenge for brokers, as premature disclosure can disrupt operations and affect the business's value.
Lenders often struggle with accurately assessing the risk involved in financing a business acquisition, particularly when dealing with businesses with limited financial history or those in volatile industries.
Ensuring that all aspects of the acquisition financing comply with regulatory requirements can be complex and time-consuming, requiring thorough documentation and adherence to stringent guidelines.
Lenders face the potential risk of loan defaults if the acquired business underperforms or fails, which can lead to financial losses and impact their lending portfolio stability.
By bringing in clarity and transparency into the business acquisition process, along with a suite of cutting edge tools, we've improved the process for everyone involved:

Automated NDA Distribution: We've developed an automated workflow management system that guides brokers through each step of setting up their Deal Hub, and then automatically sending NDAs to buyers to grant them access to your Data Room.
Integrated Communication Tools: Offer integrated communication tools that allow brokers to seamlessly communicate with buyers, sellers, and other parties involved in the transaction to help keep everyone on the same page.
Due Diligence Support: Provide comprehensive due diligence support, including checklists, templates, and access to due diligence experts. This helps brokers conduct thorough evaluations of businesses and ensures that all necessary information is gathered and analyzed efficiently.
Our robust verification system for both buyers and brokers that includes background checks, personal identification verification, and professional credentials verification. This ensures that banks are dealing with credible and financially stable parties.

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.
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.
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.
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.
