Brad Wayland

Hey, I’m Brad

For over 20 years, I’ve operated online businesses from e-commerce to content, and everything in between. I’ve built a portfolio of websites, worked with partners and on my own, managed large teams and small, scaled businesses quickly, failed on dozens of initiatives, and acquired 26 companies. I’ve also had 4 exits.

For the past 8 years, I’ve used my experience operating online businesses since the early 2000s to help entrepreneurs operate, plan for an exit, and decide if an exit is even right for them. I’ve led and closed 80 business sales. I rely on my experience to help sellers navigate a sometimes difficult process. I’m also now working with buyers through my course. More on that below.

Whether you are a buyer, seller, or operator please feel free to reach out to me on the contact form below.

Learn How to Buy an Online Business

I’ve created The Acquisition Game, an online course that shares the strategies I’ve developed for buying and operating highly profitable online business. The course covers topics like how to identify the right type of business to buy, how to finance the purchase, how to stand out and get an edge over other buyers, how to excel after the acquisition, and much more. These real world strategies have been developed through my own acquisitions, as well as my experience advising nearly 100 entrepreneurs through business sales.

Testimonials

We are just now coming up for air to say thank you for all your efforts. We really appreciated your steady hand as we navigated the purchase. We’re excited in the potential of the asset and are hard at work expanding the business. The seller has been a pleasure to work with post-sale and has been readily available throughout the transition. We’d like to stay in touch moving forward – you have a ton of experience in this space, and we’re considering a future exit once we get this business operating at the capacity we know it is capable of.

Chris

Investor

This was the third online business I founded by myself, and then decided to sell after growing into a profitable machine. Before Brad, I had engaged with several brokers and found the whole landscape quite intimidating. Since I was a busy business owner, Brad assured me he would make the sales process as simple as possible for me. Brad knows the sales process better than any broker I’ve ever encountered. He brought me a hot lead and I had a signed agreement with a buyer in 48 hours. Brad provided me guidance through the entire process, and was always available to hop on the phone to answer my concerns at each step. Thanks Brad!

Entrepreneur

I have sold two companies with Brad Wayland. One above asking and one at asking price. One sold in two hours, and the other didn’t even have to get listed to sell. Brad has a great list of buyers, a good nose for finding the right one, and getting them a sense of urgency to close. Before Brad, I sold another company with a more expensive broker, and it was a horrible two-year experience that probably cost me several million dollars in time and potential. I’ve recommended Brad to my sister and a good friend. Both sold their companies and had great experiences. Both sold their company for asking price.

Michael

Seller

Brad has sold two websites for me. The first one was in 2018 and the second was in 2023. I had a great experience working with Brad both times. Both listings resulted in multiple offers and prices that I was very happy with. Brad is very knowledgeable, has great experience, and most importantly, he’s honest and trustworthy. I’ve already recommended him to a few friends and I would be happy to work with him again when I have another site to sell.
