A focused room

A trusted group for the work of acquiring a business.

Buying a small business is a meaningful, often solitary process. Louisiana ETA is a place to compare notes with people taking that same journey—sharing useful resources, local perspective, and connections that can help a search move forward. We gather for breakfast once each quarter and remain connected as questions and opportunities arise.

For acquirers

Built for people actively searching, preparing to search, or evaluating an acquisition in Louisiana.

Curated by application

Every participant is considered with care so the room remains relevant, generous, and high-trust.

Built for exchange

Members of the group share practical resources, informed perspective, and connections that move a search forward.

No solicitation

This is a conversation-first group. Pitching and unsolicited selling have no place here.

Our first gathering

Searchers Circle — Baton Rouge Breakfast Meet-up

A “real-talk” meetup for acquisition entrepreneurs. No presentations, no frameworks, no selling — we sit together and share real stories: what’s working, what’s not, what surprised us, and what we wish we’d known sooner.

Non-Acquisition Lab entrepreneurs are welcome to join up to two meetings as guests. Breakfast and coffee provided. We follow the Chatham House Rule — what’s shared in the room stays in the room.

Who this is for
  • People exploring or preparing for a search
  • Active acquirers
  • Owners who have been through the journey and want to share real stories
What to expect
  • Welcome & ground rules from the Chapter President
  • Short opening topic or reading
  • Round-robin sharing
  • Accountability statements
  • Social time — food, coffee, conversation
