A few years ago, we were deep in the trenches ourselves.
We weren’t theorizing. We weren’t just "thinking about" buying a business. We were doing it:
- 🔍 Actively searching for real, cash-flowing businesses
- 💸 Struggling to get lenders to say yes
- 📈 Planning how to grow them with limited resources
It was frustrating. Tools were fragmented. Data was scattered. Advice was either too generic or locked behind expensive retainers.
So we stopped waiting — and built the platform we wish we had when we started.
Today, Clearly Acquired gives serious acquisition entrepreneurs, search fund operators, and strategic buyers everything they need to find, fund, and close their next business — faster and smarter.
Built for Real Buyers — Not Tire Kickers
Whether you're a solo searcher, running a self-funded search fund, or looking for your next add-on, you know this already:
Finding a business for sale near you isn’t hard.
Finding a good business that’s financeable, with a motivated seller and clean books? That’s hard.
That’s where Clearly Acquired comes in. We’re not a course. We’re not a listing site. And we’re definitely not gatekeepers.
We’re operators, technologists, and advisors who’ve actually bought, scaled, and sold companies — and now we help you do the same.

Why We Built This
Because search is broken — and we were tired of watching good buyers get stuck.
Here’s the brutal truth:
You’ll need to review 150+ businesses to close one.
Most searches take 12–24 months. Not because they have to — but because the process is a slog.
You’re stuck in inboxes and spreadsheets. You're chasing brokers. You're building half-baked models with incomplete info.
And every delay puts your dream of buying a business further out of reach
Clearly Acquired fixes that.
Ready to Find and Finance the Right Business?
Whether you're just starting out or already deep into your acquisition journey, Clearly Acquired was built to:
- Help you buy a business faster
- Unlock off-market deals most people never see
- Pair you with capital — whether debt, equity, or both
- Give you the support of real operators, not just gurus
So if you’ve been searching for the right business for sale near you, scrolling through BizBuySell, and wondering how to actually get a deal done...
We’re here to help you stop spinning your wheels — and start making offers.
