Own an agency

We train people to become business buyer's agents, and we help them launch their own agency.

Certified, and ready to launch, in twelve weeks.

Twelve weeks, end to end. Certification makes you the professional. Two phases that train you, examine you and launch your agency: the method first, then the business built and open for trading.

How it works

Certified, ready, live

You build the agency. We give you the method, the templates and the process, and check your work before you trade. Certified at week six. Ready to launch at week twelve. Guided personally the whole way.

1 to 6

The craft

How to find a business, verify the numbers, negotiate the deal and take it to settlement, learned by running a real acquisition. Certification examination at week six, so you walk into the second half already holding the credential.

7 to 12

The launch

The business set up, the marketing and lead generation built, the sales conversation practised. Ready to launch at week twelve, with everything you need to go and sign your first client.

The whole method

Find, verify, negotiate and settle, applied to a live deal as you learn it.

The document library

106 templates, engagement letters, checklists and AI deal tools. Nothing starts from a blank page.

Marketing and lead generation

The outreach scripts, funnel templates and referral engine, built in your own market.

The sales system

First enquiry to signed client, scripted and practised before you use it for real.

The guarantee. Certified, and ready to launch, in twelve weeks, because that is ours to deliver. If your state requires a licence for this work, we walk you through where you stand, and the pathway runs alongside. We do not guarantee income, clients or results, because those depend on you.

The partnership

What we owe each other

This is a partnership, and it runs on obligations both ways.

We must

  • Set a named target with you every quarter, and point that quarter's support at it
  • Run the deal clinic every month: real deals, real numbers, in the open
  • Put senior eyes on your live deals while they are still in play
  • Stand behind the guarantee: certified, and ready to launch, in twelve weeks
  • Keep the method, the documentation and the tools current
  • Answer you inside one working day
  • Recognise every milestone you reach, by name, in front of the network
  • Hold you to the targets you set. Letting you off is letting you down
  • Tell you the truth, and make it right when we get it wrong

You must

  • Do the work: implement quickly, ask for help early, share the wins and the lessons
  • Tell us straight away if we upset you, so we can make it right
  • Run the method as taught before you improvise on it
  • Respect the IP: use it in your agency, never share it or teach it
  • Treat the network as peers, never as prospects

And one more, by invitation. From time to time we ask an agency owner to introduce us to people of their calibre. Not everyone is asked.

The investment

The fees, plainly

One fee, plainly stated. No other money changes hands between us.

The figures are named in the six minute breakdown, and again on your agency blueprint call, set beside what a single deal pays. Nothing is asked of you before you have both numbers. And to be plain: certification is in the Institute's own methodology, not a government licence or registration. Your company, your clients and your brand are yours either way. Think CPA, not McDonald's.

See it laid out, end to end

Forty five minutes: the market, the opportunity, the money, how it works, what it costs, and whether it suits you. Then you decide if a conversation is worth having.

We train people to become business buyer's agents, and we help them launch their own agency.

Business Buyers Institute certifies people in its own methodology and supports them while they launch and operate their own independent business buyer's agencies. Agency owners own their businesses outright and trade under their own names. Business Buyers Institute is not a registered training organisation and nothing offered is nationally recognised or accredited training. Certification is in the Institute's own methodology. Nothing on this page is financial, legal, taxation or investment advice, and nothing here constitutes an offer of a franchise or of securities. Registration and regulatory requirements for business broking and advisory work vary by country, state and territory, and confirming and meeting the requirements that apply to you is your responsibility. Any fee figures shown describe the professional fees this work typically pays, based on a percentage of transaction value. They are not a projection, forecast or guarantee of earnings. What an agency owner earns, if anything, depends on their own effort, skill, market and circumstances. Outcomes are not guaranteed. Seek independent professional advice before acting.
