Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Australian?

100%. Our HQ is in Sydney, but we have clients across Australia.

Does the content, support, training & networks apply to Non-Australian markets?

Our knowledge base of transactions is specific to the Australian market. Our tools are designed for the Australian legal system as well as Australian financial markets.

How Does It Work?

In a nutshell, as soon as you enrol, we plug you into our private Skool community — giving you instant access to all previous deal breakdowns, bonus trainings, templates, legal docs, and recordings of every workshop we’ve ever run. You also unlock our advisory calls and expert Q&As from day one.

That means if you’re keen to get started early, you absolutely can. Watch the replays, join the calls, ask questions, and even start analysing deals — before we officially kick off.

But the real engine of your progress is our weekly live Advisory Calls — where we roll up our sleeves with you and a group of serious business buyers to break down live deals, troubleshoot offers, map out financing strategies, and answer your toughest questions. Whether you’re working on your first outreach email or structuring a seven-figure deal, this is where the magic happens.

From there, you’ll have 12 full months of hands-on support — through our Skool platform, weekly calls, deal reviews, expert office hours, and direct access to your personal advisory team. Whether you need help analysing a deal, crafting an offer, or speaking with a broker — we’re in your corner every step of the way.

This isn’t just education. It’s execution.

How quickly can I get results?

Let’s be real — this isn’t about buying any business. It’s about buying the right business. And that takes strategy, patience, and execution.

Most members start seeing meaningful traction — seller conversations, early offers, or even deals under contract — within 3 to 12 months. That’s the typical window. Not because the process is slow, but because we focus on helping you make smart acquisitions, not rushed ones.

That said, if you’re proactive — attending calls, reviewing deals, implementing the frameworks — you’ll likely make faster progress than most.

Some members have sourced leads and booked meetings in their first week. Others closed their first deal in month three. The difference isn’t luck — it’s implementation.

So how fast can you get results?

As fast as you’re willing to do the work — and as focused as you are on buying the right business.

Is there a common reason why the members who haven’t closed/ bought a business haven’t done so?

The primary reason people don’t close/buy a business is that they give up and chase the next bright, shiny object. While we give you all the tools and training, we cannot force you to do the work.

Like everything worth doing, buying a business takes time and dedication.

How many people regretted joining the BUYOUT program and taking the journey?

We aren’t here to sell you on the concept of buying a business. There are some people in the market who are glamourising buying a business as a get rich quick scheme.

The fact of the matter is that it is hard. It’s the most engaging and demanding thing you can do. It’s not milk and honey, it’s hard. It’s messy. No matter how dedicated you are, there will be rejections. Not every deal will go through.

If you are the type of person who is not prepared to work for your goals, this is not for you

What kind of support do I get ?

You’ll have two main avenues of support throughout your 12 month journey — the Skool community and our live advisory calls.

Inside the Skool platform, you’ll be surrounded by experienced acquisition entrepreneurs, vetted professionals, and our full advisory team. Whether you need help structuring an offer, reviewing financials, or just want feedback on a deal — someone from the team will jump in with answers, typically within one business day.

But where the real magic happens is on our two weekly live advisory calls.

Bring your deals, your outreach scripts, your seller emails, your LOIs — and we’ll workshop them with you, live. You’ll get direct, tactical feedback on everything from valuation to negotiation strategy, deal structure to financing options. If you’re stuck, we’ll help you move forward. If you’re ready to go, we’ll help you close stronger.

Most members lean heavily on these calls in the early stages — and we encourage that. Over time, as your confidence and skill grow, you may just drop in for a tune-up or to pressure-test a big decision.

In short, you’re never doing this alone. We’re in your corner, every step of the way..

How long do I get access to the training and support?

The Mentorship Membership is 1 year, with the option to renew if certain conditions are met. Remember — business buying and operations is a long-term game, not a one and done!

Is this content, support, training & networks specific to only certain types of businesses?

Nope! We have students acquiring in every vertical across every market imaginable. We don’t specialise in a single industry, location, or type of business. Most of our members are looking at traditional businesses; however, many are open to remote workforces or online businesses.

How much time will I need to dedicate to the buying a business?

The initial intensive requires a commitment of 1 to 2 hours per week. Live workshops are held during the week. The live workshops are weekly on Wednesdays at 12:30pm Sydney time. More time will be needed as you meet sellers, negotiate and start doing deals.

What is included in the BUYOUT program?

It’s everything you need to go from “I know nothing about business acquisition” to becoming a successful business owner, investor and entrepreneur. We are constantly adding to and improving our Community, but as of July 1, 2025, it includes:

Private community

This is where the magic happens. We’ve had members do deals together, become best friends, and tap the community for expert guidance and accountability. Members are experts in eComm, landscaping, real estate, laundromats, hotels, bakeries, professional service firms and beyond. Forget about the small talk – we’re on Slack getting it done.

Weekly live calls (every Wednesday)

Our weekly group calls are where we review your potential deals, hear about businesses members just closed on, and we invite other top dealmakers to come and speak with us. These range from loan experts to business attorneys, merger and acquisition specialists, roll-up guys, and more. It’s a ton of knowledge and a lot of fun.

All Necessary Documentation

Cash Flow Calculator allows you to do a quick review and determine whether or not to spend the time diving deeper into the analysis

Financial Analysis Modeling Tool to establish key metrics, produce a 3-year forecast, and decide on a realistic path of growth

Legal documentation and templates

Plus MORE proprietary tools & templates that will help you make informed, strategic decisions

All-access course

It’s an MBA you can actually use. You’ll work through 10 units at your own pace and learn everything you need to buy your first business – from finding the right businesses to go after, to savvy negotiation and financing tactics, to your first 180 days in charge.

40+ additional resources (and we’re frequently adding more)

What tools & resources do I get access to as a member of the BUYOUT program?

Can I use this even if I don't have experience in business acquisitions?

Yes! We're teaching you everything you need to know step-by-step for beginners or business acquisitions. PLUS giving you access to our community to help you along the way and hold your hand to win on deals.

Do you provide post-close support?

The services of the Mentorship officially end at closing. However, you’re more than welcome to continue dialing into our Live Deal Review/Search Forum call and asking any questions that may come up.

Who created M.U.P.I ?

M.U.P.I. was created by Sanjay Pandaram. M&A expert who has helped everyday Aussies discovering this unique method for buying business.

Where will I receive the M.U.P.I. training?

You will get instant access to our Skool group when you sign up to be able to view the trainings and materials.

Is there a guarantee or refunds or Trial Periods?

No, due this content being a digital training and coaching program we do not offer any refunds or guarantees. However, you can cancel your subscription any time.

Is there one-on-one support for my deals?

Yes – from our advisory team and from other members if you take up the mentoring option.

Our program is built around the value of group learning. While we are always available as a thought partner to discuss listings or deals, best practice is to lean on your club members as well as our advisory team for feedback on deals. The value of the club is that everyone learns from everyone’s deals so we try to limit the one-on-one sessions as much as possible and/or highly encourage our members to take aspects of the discussion to the Skool channels to gain insight from other members and our advisors.

What stage of the process are most of your members when they join?

We get members who are in all stages of their search.

We have some experienced acquisition entrepreneurs who join after acquiring other companies because they want the structured framework and community. We have others who know they want to acquire a business but nothing else is figured out yet other than they have the money to do so.

We also have people who join the Club even after they are under LOI. Those members are given access to the advisory services a little early because our primary goal is supporting your deal.

As a result, we will move you around the Club as much as necessary to get you the required support but you’ll fall back into the natural cadence of your cohort, too.

Do members compete for deals within the BUYOUT program?

Because of our focus on understanding your unique value proposition as a buyer, we find that our members have so far NEVER competed on a deal.

Because both members may be looking for the same type of business but have completely different value propositions – it makes it unlikely that it would be a great fit for both.

For example, if one member is looking for a manufacturing company to do process improvement work and the other is looking for a manufacturing company to implement a sales strategy and hire sales staff then a business would not be attractive to both people. One would be attracted because he saw sales potential and the other would be attracted because it already had sales in place but needed some refinement around operations.

Do you help with funding the deal?

We have finance brokers who can help you with acquiring finance. The whole goal is to try to acquire a business with minimal personal investment. Acquisition outcomes vary and are subject to numerous factors, including the nature of the business, financial performance, seller terms, and your personal circumstances. While we teach strategies aimed at reducing upfront investment, no money down deals are uncommon and not guaranteed.

Do I need to work in the business I am acquiring?

That is an individual choice. Some of our members do, others have managers to run the business and other plan work in the business at a later stage.

How do I know what industry to target or what size deal I should buy?

This is one of the most challenging aspects of your journey. It’s the primary reason why we spend a lot of time wit your Acquisition Criteria. We feel like understanding who you are as a buyer is the biggest risk mitigation strategy that there is – you are the biggest risk in any transaction you do.

By the end the Acquisition Criteria exercise, you’ll have greater clarity around both of these components. After working one-on-one with our branding advisor, you’ll have a completed buyer profile that gives you confidence in your ability to execute.

Why should I join your BUYOUT program instead of someone else in this space?

We consider ourselves to be one of the most high-end memberships available on today’s market. However, every provider in this space fits a different niche, and offers different degrees of hand-holding.

In this regard, our level of support offered to members is second to none. Our advisors are what really separate us from the competition.

We named it the Club because there’s not a single “right” way to execute on this strategy. We have a team of highly skilled, successful people who all openly share their experience and advice and our members get to decide what works best for them. The beauty is that rarely is there no one that has had a similar experience.

The goal of the Club is that you’re never spinning out there alone with a question. The Club provides a myriad of places to get your questions answered.

Our program is designed to support people who are more collaborative in nature. They’re not necessarily lone wolves. They may know what they’re doing and believe they can do it on their own but they don’t want to. They want to be surrounded by like-minded people who are also doing this because buying a business is isolating. Most of us can’t talk to our neighbours or friends or family casually about buying a business. This gives you a sounding board of people who have done it, are doing it, and can help you do it.

It’s a high-touch, high-caliber service for those that are serious about acquiring.

Do you guarantee success?

f you are the type of person who delegates your success to others, this is NOT for you. Let’s be clear – we cannot guarantee your success or earnings. No one can. In simple terms, your results are up to you, not us.

We can give you the recipe, but it’s up to you to source the ingredients and cook the meal. Think of us as Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen—correcting you if you’re about to slip up and cheering you on when you close your first deal.
