The Charlotte ETA Group x Joe Surber of BluGrowth

The Charlotte ETA Group welcomes the Joe Surber of BluGrowth. Joe will be giving a talk on 'The 5 People You Need Before You Buy A Business.'

Buying your first business isn’t just about finding the right deal; it’s about assembling the right team before the pressure hits.

In this session, Joe shows why first-time buyers get into trouble not from lack of ambition, but from building their advisory bench too late. Drawing from real lower-middle-market transactions, he breaks down the five roles that function as a true execution team, protecting downside risk while accelerating value creation. This talk reframes acquisition success as preparation, coordination, and trust built long before the deal is on the table

📆 The Charlotte ETA Meetup is held on the first Wednesday of every month. This is a casual and low-key event to get to know the Charlotte ETA community better. This is suited for those new to Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition or seasoned investors. We discuss people's past experiences in acquisitions, startups, and the corporate world across various industries.

💪 Collectively, the search community is a powerful one. Both the process of looking for a business and operating one post-acquisition can be an incredibly challenging road.

🥩 I will arrive early at Noble Smoke and set up for us. We are so fortunate to have great partners with Noble Smoke who reserve the space for our purpose.

🤝 Networking, then a panel discussion or interview, followed by more networking. Acquisition entrepreneurship is a fabulous space.

Small Business. Acquisitions. And Entrepreneurship.
