Over the next five years approximately 120,000 Canadian businesses will come up for sale outside the family or management. Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) is the path to becoming an entrepreneur by buying and growing an established business.
For individuals with business skills and a desire to make a meaningful impact, this can be less risky than starting a new business around an unproven product or service.
ETA is typically pursued later in a person’s professional life after they gain operational experience and a more robust professional network. Over the past two decades, ETA has become a more well-trodden career path.
