Supporting business buyers with acquisition tools, advisory, and community support.
Why we exist
Acquiring a business is a fragmented and complex process. Buyers face challenges at every step without sufficient support or transparency. This leads to inefficiencies, unnecessary costs, and heightened risks that can obstruct their path to ownership and success.
Mission
By driving transparency, fostering community and delivering innovative solutions, we break down barriers, build trust, and pave the way for successful acquisitions.
The Story
We noticed something curious in the acquisition space: while sellers have a multitude of brokers vying for their business, buyers often walk alone into one of life's biggest decisions. This imbalance sparked a question:
"What if buying a business could be just as well-supported as selling one?"
This revelation led to the birth of Village Wellth – not just another advisory firm, but a response to a fundamental gap in the market. We listened to the stories and frustrations of people attempting to buy a business and responded by building a platform that equips them with the tools to assess fit, evaluate opportunities, and navigate the acquisition process confidently.
Together, we're creating a new era where acquiring a business is no longer a maze but a pathway to opportunity, wealth, and lasting impact through ownership.
Since 2020, we've been building our hybrid acquisition service, with technology that supports the buyers experience. We've helped countless aspiring entrepreneurs determine if buying a business over starting one is the path for them, and propel them forward in the process, with greater certainty that they can succeed.
