12x Acquisition Entrepreneur

Brandon Lipman

For the last decade, Brandon has been raising capital, buying businesses and building a self-operating group of companies.

What did he Learn?

“Acquisitions Solve The Majority of Issues that Owners (or Would-be-Owners) Struggle With”

The Starter Problem:

Perhaps you want to start a business - but don’t know what, where, or how. You’re not sure it’ll work, and you don’t want to waste time or money figuring it out.

Solution: Buy an existing business that’s already operating. Skip the guesswork and step straight into ownership - with less risk.

The Stuck Owner Problem:

Or perhaps you’ve built a solid business, yet you’re still the centre of everything. You can’t scale - or step back - because you don’t have the time or capital to build the team around you that your business craves.

You are your business.

Solution: Buy a complementary business that brings in revenue, staff, and systems - so you can grow your group while reducing your personal workload.

The Lifestyle Problem:

Or you’ve already built (or helped build) a business. You know the grind, and you’re not doing it again. You still have serious value to add, but now lifestyle comes first and you want to help ease the journey of owners who are in the trenches.

Solution: Partner with existing founders. Offer strategic help. Earn equity. Build wealth without carrying the weight of day-to-day operations.

So… Where does your journey Start?

I’ve put together accessible training for anyone, that shows you how you can buy your first business - even if you’ve;

  1. Never run or purchased a business before

  2. Don’t have a big team

  3. Haven’t figured out where you’ll find the capital for the deal yet (how to raise capital as well as no money down deal structures included)

 

Biography

How I went from stacking shelves to buying companies - and why I teach others to do the same.

I stacked shelves at the local grocery store (night shift) while I was studying. To keep myself entertained I listened to podcasts and became a “little” obsessive over business. I decided I wanted to figure out how to play the game.

My first ‘real’ job was at the bank. I figured if I wanted to learn about money, I should work where they keep it. What can I say, my logic was flawless.

At 25, I realised my future at the bank would be capped - and it wouldn’t be me doing the capping. So I left the bank and joined as a partner of a growing Mortgage Brokerage - iRefi Mortgages. We grew iRefi to 25 staff, helped thousands of Kiwis either save money on their mortgages, get into homes or grow their portfolios. We even won national awards doing it.

I stumbled across Investment Banking and realised that buying businesses wasn’t just for suits in glass towers. It was a game I could play too… And had actually already started.

With that, I sold my shares in the Mortgage Business and spent time learning from some of the best in Mergers & Acquisitions (fancy words for buying businesses).

I’ve bought companies across finance, construction, event hire, and catering - and helped others do the same along the way.

Along the journey, I’ve learned something important:

Most people underestimate what they can do with the right business and the right mindset. I teach them how to prove themselves wrong.

It’s normal to fear the unknown - but business ownership or growth through acquisition can unlock more freedom, control, and possibility than most people ever imagine.

That’s why I built this free training.

It’s for anyone who’s serious about buying a business - but doesn’t know where to start, how to fund it, or what makes a good deal.

I’ll walk you through the start and make sure you have the tools you need to be successful

Want to work together?

Here’s how I get involved:

  • Acquisitions – I’m actively buying businesses that align with my existing portfolio.

  • Consulting for Equity – I partner with founders where I can unlock real strategic, financial, or operational leverage. Think: debt reduction, bolt-on acquisitions, smarter structure - stuff that gets owners unstuck.

  • Advisory (Non-Exec Roles) – Usually where strategy, scale, or structure need sharpening.

  • Content Collaboration – With operators, investors, and creators - especially on topics like acquisitions, capital raising, and ownership strategy.

If you believe we can work together on any of the above, drop me a note; brandon@brandonlipman.com
