  • Why 90% of Business Buyers Fail—And How to Avoid It

Why Most Business Buyers Fail

Acquiring a business is harder than it looks. Up to 90% of Buyers fail to close their 1st deal. Many buyers get stuck in research, hesitate to send offers, or struggle with financing.

Most waste months trying to figure it out alone. Without a structured plan, they overanalyze, send too few LOIs, and let deals slip away. The buyers who succeed follow a process, filter opportunities quickly, and take decisive action.

The 90% vs. the 10%

Execution is the #1 problem. 90% of buyers never close a deal. The 10% who succeed do things differently. They send at least 10 LOIs per month, build broker relationships, and take decisive action.

What Stops Buyers from Closing Deals?

It’s simple. Too little effort, too much wasted time, and most times - expecting their executive status in their current career will transfer over to doing their 1st deal. Not gonna happen. 

The Most Common Pitfalls

  • Endless Analysis – Buyers overthink every detail, waiting for the perfect deal.

  • Not Enough LOIs – If you’re not making offers, you’re not actually in the game.

  • Poor Financing Strategy – Not having funding lined up slows everything down.

  • Weak Broker Relationships – Without strong connections, you won’t see the best deals first.

The buyers who break out of this cycle follow a proven system.
