Complete Review of the Sinister New Business Broker's "You Can't Sue Me" Agreement
Follow along with Gordon as he takes apart this new "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose" business broker's agreement that is literally a license to defraud you... and make you pay them for it.
Perhaps more importantly, you will learn how to analyze these agreements for yourself, so that others can not take advantage of you.
Eight Fatal Provisions to Change or Delete
- Definitions that create a one-sided agreement in favor of the broker & Seller and stack the deck against you
- Non-circumvention for you but not for them
- Term & Auto Renewal that becomes a forever agreement
- No liability by broker even if they deceive you
- You guarantee and pay broker's fees if seller does not
- You promise not to sue broker or their "in-cahoots to get you" affiliate
- You pay to defend broker and hold them harmless, no matter the claim against them by your lenders, investors or your other stakeholders
- Waiver & indemnification for them but not for you
How broker aligns with "Packaging" company that hypes financials to deceive buyers.

Brian Lewis, Fledgling Business Empire Builder

Learn how Brian:
- Finds his opportunities
- Finds his investors and lenders
- Sells the sellers on selling to him
- Makes the acquired company more profitable
- Manages his young but growing enterprise
Brian also discusses his next acquisition target, a trucking company with 12 trucks and 49 trailers.
Gordon shares with Brian, for all to hear, the masterful “no cash” strategies, techniques and methods used by another Bizar Financing trucking company buyer. Included in the conversation, Gordon reveals how the structure of the purchase insured that the trucking company would run much more profitably than when it was owned by the seller.
Brian was especially grateful for this valuable mind-expanding knowledge. He believes he is now empowered to close this acquisition with a superior method to anything he has yet contemplated.
During the session, Brian asks Gordon whether he should continue buying business opportunities that just show up, or should he focus on a particular field or industry. Gordon’s answer set him on new path. It is an answer you must hear for yourself.
Brian also shares how he is building an organization to manage the growth of his fledgling business empire. During the discussion, Gordon reveals secrets of his own that enabled him to drive the growth and management of his own businesses.
