Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Australian?

Absolutely — our HQ is in Sydney, but we work with clients all across Australia.

What is included in the BUYOUT program?

It’s everything you need to go from “I know nothing about business acquisition” to becoming a confident business owner, investor, and entrepreneur.

We’re constantly improving the program, but as of July 1, 2025, here’s what’s included:

🔒 Private Community (Where the Magic Happens)

This is where deals are made, strategies are shared, and progress happens fast.

Our members are active across industries — from eComm, landscaping, and real estate to laundromats, hotels, bakeries, and professional services.

This isn’t a dead forum. It’s an active dealmaker’s network hosted in Slack — where members collaborate, partner, and hold each other accountable.

📞 Weekly Live Calls (Every Wednesday)

Our live group calls are the heartbeat of the program.

Each week we:

• Review real deals in progress

• Share recent wins from members who’ve closed businesses

• Bring in guest experts (lenders, M&A lawyers, roll-up strategists, tax advisors, and more)

It’s hands-on, high-value, and highly practical — and yes, it’s a lot of fun too.

📄 Tools, Templates & Legal Docs

Get instant access to the essential documentation you need to assess, structure, and close deals:

• Cash Flow Calculator – Quickly assess whether a deal is worth pursuing

• Financial Modelling Tool – Forecast 3-year performance and plan your growth trajectory

• Legal Templates – Letters of Intent, NDAs, Due Diligence checklists, and more

• Proprietary Tools – Custom-built resources to de-risk your acquisition and move with confidence

🎓 Full Online Course (All-Access)

Think of it as an MBA you can actually use.

Work through 10 core units at your own pace, covering everything from:

• How to find the right businesses

• Negotiation and deal structuring

• Funding strategies with minimal personal capital

• Your first 180 days as an owner

Plus, 40+ bonus trainings, with more added regularly.

This isn’t just theory.

It’s a full system to help you find, fund, and close your first (or next) acquisition — with real support every step of the way.

How Does It Work?

As soon as you enrol, you’re plugged into our private Skool community — with instant access to past deal breakdowns, bonus trainings, templates, legal docs, and recordings of every workshop we’ve ever run. You also unlock our live advisory calls and expert Q&As from day one.

So if you’re keen to get started early, you absolutely can. Watch the replays, join the calls, ask questions, and even start analysing real 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 other serious buyers to break down deals, troubleshoot offers, map out financing strategies, and answer your toughest questions. Whether you’re writing your first outreach message or structuring a seven-figure buyout, this is where the magic happens.

From there, you’ll have 12 full months of hands-on support — via the Skool platform, weekly calls, deal reviews, expert office hours, and direct access to your advisory team. Need help analysing a deal, crafting an offer, or speaking with a seller? We’re in your corner the whole way.

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

How much does it cost to join the program?

The investment ranges from $5,000 to $8,000, with flexible payment options available.

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 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.

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 runs for 12 months, with the option to renew if certain criteria are met.

Remember — buying and operating a business is a long-term game. It’s not a quick win or one-and-done. We’re here to support you through the entire journey.

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

10 step Acquisition Accelerator Intensive with proprietary content on how to buy a business that cannot be found elsewhere:

One-on-One with Advisor to Develop Value Proposition Buyer Profile

Live Q&A with Lending Partner

Weekly Live Ask-Me-Anything with Sanjay

Deal Evaluation Workbook (Cash Flow Calculator, 7 Elements, Business Mapping, etc.)

Financial Analysis Tool (3 Year Forecast, Break-Even Analysis, Scenario Planning)

Real Life Case Study to Gain Hands On Experience Evaluating Deals

Self-Evaluation Workbooks

Outreach Tools (Scripts, technology, etc.)

Legal Templates (LOI, Due Diligence Checklist, etc.)

Deep Dives into Member Deals

Access to live call recordings

Vetted Network of Service Providers (lawyers, accountants, lenders, etc.)

Private Skool Group & Highly Vetted Community

What if I don't have a lot of experience?

No problem! The course is beginner-friendly and offers a step-by-step system.

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?

As this is a digital training and coaching program, we do not offer refunds or guarantees.

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 the Business Buyers Institute to be one of the most high-end mentorship experiences on the market today. But let’s be honest — every provider in this space serves a different niche and offers varying degrees of support and hand-holding.

Where we’re different is in the depth and quality of support we provide.

Our advisors are what truly set us apart.

They’re not just instructors — they’re active practitioners, successful buyers, and skilled mentors who’ve walked the path. And they bring that real-world experience to every call, question, and deal review.

We chose the name Institute for a reason:

There’s no single “right” way to acquire a business. Our members benefit from a diverse range of perspectives and strategies — shared openly by a team of experts and a community of experienced operators. You decide what works best for you, but you’re never short on insight, perspective, or support.

The goal is simple: You’re never left spinning with unanswered questions.

Whether it’s in the live calls, the private community, or deep-dive deal reviews — there’s always somewhere to turn for guidance.

This program is built for people who are collaborative by nature.

You might know you could figure this out alone — but you don’t want to. You want to surround yourself with others who are doing the same thing. Because business buying is a lonely path… and most of us can’t exactly chat with our neighbours or mates about due diligence or vendor financing.

This is your sounding board, your support system, and your inner circle — made up of people who have done it, are doing it, and are here to help you do it too.

It’s a high-touch, high-calibre experience for those who are serious about acquiring.

Do you guarantee success?

If you’re the kind of person who delegates your success to others, this isn’t for you.

Let’s be clear — we can’t (and won’t) guarantee your success, results, or income. No one can. Your outcomes are entirely in your hands.

We’ll give you the recipe.

We’ll show you the ingredients.

We’ll even stand beside you in the kitchen.

But you still have to cook the meal.

Think of us as your Gordon Ramsay — guiding you with precision, calling out mistakes before they cost you, and cheering you on when you close your first deal.

This is a hands-on experience. We’re here to support you, but you have to show up, do the work, and take ownership of the outcome.
