About this Event

Hosted by Benjamin Engel and Allura Engel

Private Equity firms buy and grow businesses every single day. What if you could borrow their playbook and apply it to your own acquisitions?

Join us for the next installment of the Million Dollar Acquisition Series — The Private Equity Playbook. In this live seminar, Benjamin Engel of EDGE Business Advisors will break down how private equity evaluates, structures, and scales acquisitions, using a real case study of an HVAC company leveraged buyout (LBO).

You’ll learn:

How PE firms source deals and decide which companies to pursue.

The valuation discipline and underwriting models they rely on.

How they structure deals with equity, bank loans, and seller financing.

The “value creation levers” PE firms pull to grow businesses quickly.

What their exit strategies look like — and how you can plan yours from Day One.


We’ll walk step-by-step through the ACME HVAC Co. LBO Case Study, showing you how professional buyers think — and how you can use the same strategies on your path to a million-dollar acquisition.

Who should attend?

Entrepreneurs and executives considering their first acquisition.

Searchers and independent sponsors looking to sharpen their strategy.

Business owners curious how PE buyers think about value creation and exits.

Why attend?

Get behind-the-scenes insight into private equity deal-making.

Learn frameworks that help you buy smarter, grow faster, and exit stronger.

Network with like-minded buyers, searchers, and business owners.

Seats are limited. Secure your spot today and start thinking like Private Equity.
