Frequently Asked Questions

  • How soon can I receive my lessons?

    Upon payment, you will get instant access to the masterclasses. The link will be sent to your registered email address.

  • What if I have questions?

    We’ll be available and happy to answer them! Simply email your query to [email protected] and expect an answer within 24 hours...

  • Which industries and geographies do your Masterclasses cover?

    All our professional advice is universal and applicable to any industry or niche. Our M&A experts have completed transactions globally, so their expertise will be relevant to all business owners around the world (especially in US, UK and Canada).

  • Are the schedules of lessons time-sensitive?

    Not at all. The lessons are all virtual and on-demand, so you can watch the videos multiple times at your convenience. Don’t forget to take notes!

  • Do you also offer these Masterclasses in printed format?

    Unfortunately, we don’t, and here’s why: We aim to impart our knowledge to as many mid-sized business owners as possible, and we can do that only if we keep our pricing affordable. Printing and shipping will only increase the cost, so digital formats are the better and more practical option.

  • How do I deal with technical issues when they happen?

    Please get in touch with our able and reliable customer service team at [email protected]. They will address any technical problems promptly.

  • Can I share my classes with my family or friends?

    Yes, you can watch the videos together. However, you cannot share the link we emailed to you because it is a unique ID associated with your email address.

  • What program and device does your course support?

    You can access our course through any device and operating system as long as you have an internet connection.

  • Do you have other courses for business owners?

    Yes, we have 30 Day Exit Prep which is the most comprehensive guide in preparing for the sale of a business. You can bundle this course with the Companion Guide below. Of course you can also find all the incredible and free content on Divestopedia.com.

If you don't think this Guide can deliver a higher valuation and better terms when selling your business, you can contact us any time and for any reason over the next 30 days and we will give you a full 100% refund of your money — no matter what. It’s a bold promise, but that’s how confident we are in the value delivered in our Guide.
