Without The Risk of Starting From Scratch
Buy Back Your Time: You're not buying another job, you’re buying a profitable & running business designed to work without you. We help you find deals with teams in place and systems so you’re stepping in as an owner, not an operator. This let's you profit while living life on your terms.
No Guesswork or Trial & Error: Existing businesses already have working operations, a team, marketing, and demand. You’re not gambling on whether the idea will work.. it already does.
Diversify Your Income: Because relying on one or two incomes (no matter how good) is risky. Buying a profitable business gives you another income stream that works even when you don’t.
You can pay for success with time or money, this is for those who’d rather skip the slow, painful startup years and buy something that’s already working.
Tired of trading time for money and looking for a smarter way to build wealth without burning out? This is for you.
You already know how to spot an asset, now imagine owning one that has a ROI that's worth it.
Skip the risky startup phase and step into a profitable business that’s already working, no reinventing the wheel required.

Hi, I’m Kelly. For the last 6 years, I’ve been in finance. I’ve spent the last two sourcing real businesses and helping real people own them. I’ve seen firsthand how buying a business changes lives. Not just money but identity, freedom, and time.
I discovered the opportunity of buying existing business 2 years into working as an insurance broker. Clients were using a businesses profits to get finance themselves to buy that business. I was mind-blown and I figured if even me working within this industry wasn't aware of this, there must be a large % of the population who certainly weren't too, which kicked off Buy It Built and now i'm helping everyday people do the same thing!
We've helped our private clients buy profitable businesses
"By far my best investment"
“I've invested in stocks, property and the "traditional" assets but Kelly helping me buy a profitable small business is by far my best investment yet!" - Saj
"A blessing!"
“Working with Kelly & her team has been a blessing! Not only did they help me get my business, but also introduced me to a great solicitor and lender that i'll use over and over" - Sarah
No. As you'd be buying a business with a proven track record and has been running at least the last 3 years profitably, the commercial lending will be mostly based on the business. Some adverse credit is tolerated.
Great question, In short; they are. Businesses change hands every day, but because there are no 'for sale' signs outside (like homes) we don't realise they're changing hands. Private Equity have been doing this model from before time but now it's time for the everyday person to own them too.
If you are time-poor but have money that you want to put to work and invest in something you can influence, this is perfect for you.
Although 'no money-down' deals are possible, they aren't probable for your first deal. Be careful of anyone that advertises 'no money-down' deals are easily accessible to everyone.
We’re only taking on 10 people to ensure every client gets the 1-on-1 attention needed to buy the right business.
