Four options, four different jobs. A plain guide to who EOS, Dent's Key Person of Influence, EO New Zealand and one-to-one coaching each suit, built only from what each publishes.
Short answer: Acquisition.com says it partners with founders at $1M to $10M of EBITDA, and its workshops involve qualification. If you are inside that range and want a firm that works at portfolio scale, start there. If your business is smaller, you want a one-to-one coach, or you want published prices and a free call first, Simple-Growth may suit you better. Many owners will use free Acquisition.com courses and books alongside either route.
A disclosure first: Simple-Growth publishes this guide and competes for some of the same owners, so read it with that in mind. We have no commercial relationship with Acquisition.com. Everything about Acquisition.com below comes from its home page, opened on 10 November 2026. We have not used its paid workshops, and we say so where it matters.
Its home page states a promise to partner with $1M to $10M EBITDA founders. It lists a live, in-person Scaling Workshop with qualification requirements, free Offer Creation and Lead Generation courses, a $100M Money Models course, Wealth and other workshops, a custom Scaling Roadmap, books, and a podcast, The Game. It shows no prices; workshop access depends on a conversation with its team. Its proof includes a stated portfolio of "$250m+" in annual revenue and book sales described as over one million copies each. It also carries a not-typical-results disclaimer. We did not verify those figures.
Is Acquisition.com a coaching company? It describes itself as partnering with founders and running workshops; read its own pages for how it defines its services.
Can I use both? Yes. Free courses and a coach are not mutually exclusive.
What does Simple-Growth cost? Quick Wins is $97, Making It Happen $297 and Know Your Future $497, each with a 30-day money-back guarantee per its sales page. Coaching starts with a free call.
Is one better? Not in general. It depends on your size, budget and what you need.
Results vary; nothing here is a guarantee.
