ETA stands for “Entrepreneurship through Acquisition.” This career path consists of buying and running an existing operation. At ArborOne where I serve as COO, we invest in and grow amazing tree care businesses led by exceptional leaders. My “day job” consists on supporting these leaders to grow their business to support their customers, employees and communities.

The database below is organized by stage in the process to acquire an existing small business - Search, Acquire, Operate and Exit. There is a strong ETA (or SMB - small and medium business) community on Twitter with many in the field providing insights on a daily basis. Below are the Tweets that I found the most useful.
