The Investment Thesis Workbook for Acquisition Entrepreneurs

Write your own investment thesis, define your model, and design your path to ownership.

This Buyout Diary workbook helps acquisition entrepreneurs write a professional investment thesis that is ready for investors. It is the same kind used by HoldCos, self-funded buyers, and search funds.

Inside you’ll find:

  • A step-by-step framework based on real research
  • 15 guided sections with reflection questions
  • Practical examples and structure templates

Whether you’re starting your first search or refining your long-term strategy, this guide helps you turn ideas into a written plan investors can trust.
