HOLDco, a leader in M&A advisory and entrepreneurship support, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Entrepreneurship Program, designed to equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and resources to successfully navigate the complexities of mergers and acquisitions.

This program offers a hands-on, high-value experience tailored to individuals seeking to grow their entrepreneurial footprint by acquiring and managing businesses. Through HOLD.co’s vast network, proprietary tools, and expert guidance, participants will gain exclusive access to off-market deal flow, industry insights, and key resources to streamline their acquisition journey.

Key Features of the Program Include:

  • Comprehensive M&A Training: Participants receive access to detailed training materials covering every aspect of the M&A process, including deal sourcing, pre-LOI (Letter of Intent) vetting, due diligence, and post-acquisition integration.
  • Deal Sourcing Support: Leveraging HOLD.co’s ownership of platforms like MergersAndAcquisitions.net, Acquisition.net, and InvestmentBank.com, participants can tap into both on-market and off-market deal opportunities by geography, industry, and risk profile.
  • Financial Tools and Resources: The program includes tools like a Debt Service Coverage (DSC) calculator to evaluate deal feasibility, pre-due diligence questionnaires, and full data room templates to ensure participants are prepared for every stage of the deal process.
  • Expert Network Access: Participants gain introductions to seasoned M&A attorneys, accountants, and financial professionals who can assist with legal agreements, financial due diligence, and deal structuring.
  • Equity and Debt Structuring Guidance: HOLD.co provides insights into deal structure, funding options, and introductions to equity partners for deals exceeding SBA thresholds. Additionally, participants receive discounted access to the company’s associated SPV software platform for streamlined capital raising.
  • Virtual Assistant and CRM Integration: Optional services include hiring a virtual assistant (VA) to assist with deal sourcing and setting up a custom CRM preloaded with investor and private equity data for enhanced visibility.

Bi-Weekly Cohort Calls
One of the program’s highlights is the bi-weekly cohort calls, where participants connect with fellow entrepreneurs at various stages of their acquisition journeys. These calls foster collaboration, provide additional insights, and even open syndication opportunities for equity investment among the group.

A Tailored Approach to Success
HOLD.co’s program offers a “choose your own adventure” style, allowing participants to customize their approach based on their unique goals and strategies. From access to exclusive acquisition.net email accounts to discounted virtual assistant services, HOLD.co ensures that participants have the flexibility and support needed to succeed.

“Our goal is simple: to empower entrepreneurs with the resources and expertise they need to succeed in the world of M&A,” said Nate Nead, Managing Director at HOLDco. “This program combines our deep industry knowledge with a collaborative approach that ensures every participant has the tools to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and seize opportunities.”

The HOLD.co Entrepreneurship Program reflects the company’s commitment to fostering innovation, creating opportunities, and driving success for the next generation of business leaders.
