I’m Abdul, building EquityLift - an acquisition platform for first-time business buyers

I’m Abdul, founder of EquityLift. A platform helping people buy businesses more professionally, especially first-time and early-stage acquirers.

I’ve spent years working through acquisitions, deal sourcing, buyer preparation, funding conversations, DD, advisor coordination, and execution. One thing I kept seeing was that most buyers are trying to manage a very complex acquisition process through scattered spreadsheets, notes, inboxes, WhatsApp threads, and half-built CRM systems.

So I started building EquityLift.app to bring the acquisition process into one structured workspace.

We've made it that simple, that a grad straight out of uni can utilise this platform to buy his first business. Deals can go through the entire process in less than 60-days. P.S I'm buying a cleaning company and we're in legals within 7 weeks.

It helps buyers:

• Build and manage their acquisition pipeline

• Track seller conversations and deal stages

• Organise due diligence

• Prepare finance and lender information

• Manage acquisition tasks, advisors, and next steps

• Stay focused on execution instead of admin

The goal is simple: make buying a business feel less chaotic and more like a repeatable, professional process.

I’m especially interested in connecting with:

• Searchers and acquisition entrepreneurs

• First-time business buyers

• M&A advisors and brokers

• Finance brokers and lenders

• Operators using acquisitions as a growth strategy

Would love feedback from the PH community:

If you were buying your first business, what would you want a platform like this to help you with most?

Excited to connect with other builders, operators, and acquisition-minded people here.
