Programs teach you. Instruments equip you. The rooms stand beside you.
Built the same way as the cohort: the facts cited, the hard parts named, and nothing offered that we have not done ourselves.

You enroll, you walk the weeks, you step off holding something real. The Immigrant Entrepreneur Cohort lives on the front page; the two buyer programs are below.
Buy Without the Bank
This is you if: the numbers work but the bank will not, you can bring some cash and real discipline, and the deal needs structure more than it needs a loan.
The acquisition program for buyers the banks turned away. As of March 2026, SBA loans require U.S. citizenship. The playbook every mainstream buying course teaches is closed to most visa holders.
This program hands you the structures that work without it:
- Seller financing
- Earnouts
- Conventional lending
- Investor capital
- The visa-compatible way to hold what you buy
Taught from real transactions: the same structures we use when we buy businesses ourselves.
Where it ends: you, at a closing table, signing a deal that never needed a bank’s permission.
Live and online · small group · a few weeks · begins Sep 14
Inside: no-bank deal structures · reading the real numbers · holding what you buy, visa-compatibly

The Trades Acquisition Program
This is you if: you know a trade or respect one, the license question does not scare you off, and you want a business with trucks, crews, and customers who call back.
Buy the businesses the AI build-out demands. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical firms are retiring in record numbers while over a million trade jobs sit unfilled. These businesses are not disrupted by AI. They are demanded by it.
It covers what generic programs skip:
- License transfers and qualifier requirements
- Key-person risk when the owner is the license
- Buying a field-service business that took decades to build and cannot be rebuilt overnight
Where it ends: you own a business AI cannot replace, in a market the build-out keeps hiring.

Nothing here runs on a syllabus. These are the places in the house where someone who has done it sits with you: a room for your deal, a corner when you need one, a seat beside you at the table.
The Deal Room
This is you if: you are past curiosity, deals are open in your tabs, and the biggest decisions of your life are about to be made alone.
Not a program you watch. A room, for when the deal is real. A gated room for active buyers:
- Live reviews of the deal you are actually working
- Negotiation drills against the people you will actually face
- Diligence checklists
- Professionals to ask before you sign anything
Buying alone is how good people overpay. The Deal Room exists so no member walks into a closing without another set of experienced eyes on the numbers, the structure, and the story they are being told.
Where it ends: you close with certainty, because experienced eyes checked the numbers, the structure, and the story before you signed.
Ongoing membership · online · small groups · opens Aug 31
Inside: weekly live deal reviews · negotiation drills · ask-before-you-sign access
The Corner
Thirty minutes with an entrepreneur who has walked it. Not a program, not a membership: a corner, whenever you need one.
Bring one thing:
- A situation you want evaluated
- A decision you keep circling
- A question you cannot ask a broker
- Something you want to learn from someone who has done it
You talk, we think it through together, and you leave with a clearer next step. Nothing binding, nothing filed, nothing sold in the room.
Where it ends: thirty minutes from now, you know your next move.

At the Table
When the deal is real, you don’t go in alone. Graduates can ask us to prepare with them, sit at the table with them, and debrief with them. The other side does this every week. Now so does yours.
Where it ends: you walk into the room with someone who has bought businesses sitting beside you.
Per deal · scoped in conversation · request by email
Guidance and presence, not representation · your professionals make every call
Open to everyone, before any program. And every program hands you its own instruments to keep: the worksheets, checklists, and maps you will actually use at the table.

Eight plays run at buyers, the tell for each, and the seven moves that answer them. Yours to keep.
This is education, not legal or financial advice. These programs teach how paths and deals work and how to prepare for them.
They do not file anything for you, and they do not replace a lawyer, a CPA, or a licensed lender.
The real decisions and every filing are made with your own licensed professionals.
