Pricing FAQs

Acquisition Lab is built for serious acquisition entrepreneurs. We invest significant time vetting new members because we care deeply about alignment and long-term success.

We encourage every prospective member to carefully consider their capacity, commitment, and timeline before enrolling. The Lab is designed for those prepared to take action.

Our goal is not to issue refunds. Our goal is to ensure the right people join.

If, within the first 30 days of purchase, you determine that the Lab is not the right fit for you, you may request a refund.

To request a refund, email support@acquisitionlab.com within 30 days of your original purchase date (by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Day 30). Refund requests made within this 30-day window will be reviewed promptly.

After 30 days, all payments are non-refundable. By that point, members have received significant components of the program including onboarding and access to materials.

Important clarifications:

  • Deciding not to buy a business is not grounds for a refund. In many cases, gaining clarity that acquisition is not the right path is a valuable & intentional outcome of the program
  • Access & materials. If a member fully downloads materials, accesses substantial program content, or attempts to retain proprietary resources while requesting a refund, the Company reserves the right to deny the request
  • Certain programs include lifetime access. “Lifetime” refers to the lifetime of the program as offered by the Company. The Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue any program at its discretion
  • If a program is discontinued, the Company’s obligations with respect to lifetime access are considered fulfilled after six (6) months of access

If you have questions about whether the Lab is right for you before enrolling, we encourage you to ask. We would much rather have thoughtful conversations upfront than process refunds later.

For refund requests or support inquiries, contact: support@acquisitionlab.com

We don’t have flexibility on pricing because it is very expensive to provide such a high-touch service. Additionally, our members get lifetime access to all of our advisory services versus a timed membership; which makes the lift heavier.

What we can offer is that the membership fee is a business expense for the acquiring entity so it can help lower your taxable income and, if you do acquire in 12 to 18 months from joining and you want to build your cash back up, you can let your lender know up front and provide your invoice and many lenders will reimburse you for this expense (and other service providers) at closing and roll that expense into the Loan.

Our discounted services typically save $7-10k from what non-Lab members will pay. While we understand there is an upfront cost, we do everything we can to support you to get so much more value out of the program.
