Program Overview
The GPS Inner Circle is a private, invitation-only network of business leaders, CPAs, and advisors connected to the world of business ownership - united by a passion for sport. Members act as high-trust connectors, not salespeople. Their job is to naturally build relationships and introduce qualified business owners to the GPS M&A team.
Members earn access to experiences most people cannot buy their way into. When introductions lead to closed transactions, the rewards are real.

How Introductions Work
01
Natural connection
Inner Circle members simply engage people in their network - at sporting events, through LinkedIn, through their practice or business community. If ownership or an exit comes up naturally, you mention GPS.
"I'm connected to a mid-market M&A firm - if you ever think about selling, they're worth knowing." or "GPS specializes in high-value transactions for business owners. Happy to make an introduction."
02
Warm introduction
Submit the referral by CC'ing GPS on an email, sending a WhatsApp message, or using the referral form. That's the whole job.
03
GPS takes over
Our M&A team conducts discovery calls, provides valuations and market overviews, and nurtures the relationship. Members are welcome to listen to any call if they want to learn more about the M&A process.
04
You receive your reward
Tier 1 on first qualified referral. Tier 2 on signed engagement. Tier 3 on closed transaction. Paid in experiences - your sport, your destination, your guest included.
