Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find your off-market deals & how many will I see?

We generate exclusive off-market deals specific to each client’s criteria. Our primary method is with targeted ads and cold email, then we have a phone team that collects & confirms information with the seller.

FAQ image

How many businesses have you helped people acquire?

In 2023 we did about 30 businesses, in 2024 we did over 200 deals with the majority of them being short term rental real estate, but we have since pivoted back to focus more on traditional “boring businesses” such as home services, manufacturing, etc.

FAQ image

How long will it take to close on an acquisition?

From starting with Zion to close, typically under 6 months. This depends on variables such as: specificity of buy box, how prompt you are engaging with us, and how decisive you are when presented with an opportunity that meets your criteria. Clients that are less decisive sometime take a few months longer to close on a deal.

FAQ image

What am I responsible for vs. what Zion does?

Our clients only have 2 responsibilities: make decisions and stay up to speed on each deal so you understand enough to make good decisions. Zion does every other part of the acquisition process, including communication with the seller, deal sourcing, due-diligence, paperwork, negotiation, etc. We present the client with all the key information and help them understand each business enough so they can make a good decision at each stage of the process.

FAQ image

Does Zion help me secure funding to acquire a business?

Yes, we connect you with a variety of funding options and prepare your applications for you. Most clients use the SBA 7a loan to fund 80%+ of the deal & we almost always negotiate some seller financing into the deal so the seller has some skin in the game to ensure the business remains successful post acquisition.

FAQ image

Are there any guarantees I will actually acquire a business?

Yes, Zion has a 12-month acquisition guarantee. If we don’t close on a business within 12 months of starting working with you, we’ll refund all payments made to us OR you have the option to continue working with us. There are certain terms and conditions, basically clients must provide proof they are a serious buyer and not undermine the deal process by contacting the seller behind our back. If you’d like more details on this ask us on a call.

FAQ image

How much cash do I need to acquire a business?

As a general rule of thumb, you will need about 10% of the total deal price for your down payment. The rest can be financed through SBA, seller financing, private lending, or often a mixture. Every deal structure is different so there will be some variance on this.

FAQ image

What types of businesses does Zion have the most experience in?

We specialize in businesses worth $1 million to $10 million across many industries, but have the most experience in the typical “boring business” categories such as home services: plumbing, HVAC, roofing, pest control, etc. We also have helped clients acquire over 200 real estate businesses such as: short term rental, management firms. While these are the most common, there are many exceptions. If the best business we find that meets your criteria is something outside those categories, we do those too.

FAQ image

Should I acquire a business in my local area only?

It’s totally possible to acquire and run many businesses remotely, so this is both a personal preference thing and a case by case thing for each business. Many buyers feel more comfortable being within driving distance or a short flight in case of an emergency, while some sellers are easy either way. Also, businesses have varying levels of owner involvement needed. Some are already set up with key employees and systems that are designed to be ran remotely by the owner, others will require the owner to show up and build out those key functions until it can be ran remotely. Many of our clients have “ability to be ran remotely” as part of their criteria and that’s certainly something we can accommodate if you’d like.

FAQ image

Is it possible to continue working my current job/ business and run my acquired business at the same time?

Yes, most of our clients who acquire businesses have other jobs, businesses, or income sources that take some of their time. But as a general rule, you should be able to dedicate at least 20 hrs per week to a newly acquired business for the first year. There will be massive variance in the time required to run it based on each particular business and how streamlined it is already. Some far less, some far more. But this is something we need to nail down when sourcing deals for you. If you cannot dedicate much time, we need to find deals that have a good team, aren’t distressed, and have a seller willing to stay on for a period to ensure a successor operator can be hired and trained to replace them.

FAQ image

Does Zion help ensure my newly acquired business will be successful?

While there are never guarantees in any business, we do include 90 days of post acquisition business consulting to assist in a smooth transition of ownership. We advise 1-1 with you on things like: implementing digital marketing strategies, installing more efficient IT systems and processes, adjustments to staffing, and whatever each particular business needs to maximize the chance of success and reduce the time it takes to grow.

FAQ image

Does Zion only work on acquiring American businesses?

Yes, all the businesses we help clients acquire are US business entities. Generally most of our clients are US citizens or permanent residents so they can take advantage of the SBA 7a loan to help fund the deal.

FAQ image

Do I need to know exactly what type and size of business I want to acquire before working with Zion?

Not at all, in fact most of our clients have only a rough idea of the type and size of business they want to acquire. The amount of capital you have for a deposit will be an important factor, but the first thing we do with each client is your “Deal Thesis” to dial in on what industries, deal size, deal structure, & location will work best for you. Clients gain clarity through the process, not before starting the process.
