ABOUT TED LEVERETTE AND THE DONE DEAL TEAM
We educate and guide you through our Street-Smart 22-Step Acquisition Sequence ™.
It integrates our six advisory services essential to buyers:
Preparing, searching, due diligence, financing, valuing, and dealmaking.
We are not a business brokerage. We do not sell franchises or any kind of business.
Never forget your lost income opportunity.
Irrationally deferring an M&A transaction presents at least two kinds of (avoidable) potential losses. (1) Missing out on buying the best opportunity that you’re going to find. (2) Lost income opportunity, which is what you would have earned every month longer it takes to complete your deal.
Tip: Search more effectively to find and complete better deals sooner.

We don’t believe the how-to books and seminars pitching buy-a-business for $1 or no money down. It’s not that those get-rich-easy-with-no-risk ideas don’t have any value, but it could be a very long time before buyers achieve a worthwhile deal using the techniques. The ideas are rarely practical for first-time buyers and especially people without big-time business experience.
Read our books if you’re looking for sensible, proven ways to buy the right business the right way.
Our information is for professionals and for people who want to know what professionals know.

Business Buyer Advocacy ™ and the hidden marketplace:
In the 1970s, Ted Leverette figured out how to access the “hidden” market of the best small and midsize businesses quietly for sale by-owner. This is important because most business buyers access only about 20% of the mature and profitable companies for sale, the ones represented by brokers or advertised to the general public. When those buyers find a seller on the “public” market, they are among a horde of buyers who congregate around those sellers. These buyers can cause a bidding war among themselves, which means businesses can sell for more than they are worth (which is a good thing if you want to sell your business).
Of course, Leverette had to have a name for his discovery of the way to introduce buyers to the best businesses for sale, of which up to 80% are on the hidden market. And then guide buyers through evaluation and dealmaking, with loyalty only to the buyer. So he coined a term: Business Buyer Advocate ®.
The idea worked well for many years, so Leverette decided to license the use of his trade secrets, know-how and consulting tools to independent consulting practices in the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom.
In 2005 his company name changed to “Partner” On-Call Network, LLC, to more accurately portray the scope of advisory services performed by it and its independent licensees.
Today their 500 year collective experience in the USA and Canada gives their clients more leverage than is otherwise possible. The people you see among our photos on this website are our most successful dealmakers. They got that way thanks to the sharing of information among numerous Business Buyer Advocates. Some of them used our system to buy a company and no longer consult with people wanting to buy a business.
