Access the strategies, resources, and expertise you need to close your next deal with confidence.
Between finding the right opportunity, securing financing, conducting due diligence, and assembling the right deal team, buying a business is one of the most rewarding but complex moves you can make as an entrepreneur or investor. At Proven, we’ve successfully closed more than $75M in acquisitions in the last two years. We’ve built an unparalleled network of lenders, investors, advisors, and vetted professionals—plus a system to streamline the search, evaluation, and closing process. We’re making that playbook available so you can focus less on legwork and more on making smart, strategic moves.
Most acquisition advisors give you partial guidance—maybe help with financing, or an introduction to a broker. We deliver the complete package. Our team combines real-world acquisition experience with a continually updated library of proven resources. Whether you’re buying your first small business or adding a multi-million-dollar company to your portfolio, we give you the connections, tools, and insights to navigate the process faster, avoid costly mistakes, and close with confidence.
