Welcome to The Business Inquirer
Hi, my name is Roman 👋🏻
I created this newsletter to make small business M&A more accessible, engaging, and practical. Every week, I break down key insights and highlight resources in a format that’s easy to digest and fun to read.
Each week, subscribers get a curated mix of:
📰 Articles — summaries and insights from must-read pieces in SMB M&A
🧵 Online Highlights — the best Twitter/Reddit/LinkedIn discussions, distilled
🗓️ Events — upcoming conferences and gatherings in the SMB M&A ecosystem
⚒️ Tools & Resources — practical guides, platforms, and services worth knowing
💡 Personal insights & notes from my own experience building in this space
This is an independent newsletter — not affiliated with any broker, lender, or service provider. My only goal is to surface the most relevant content and deliver it in a format that’s easy to digest, unbiased, and actionable.
Whether you’re a searcher, independent sponsor, private equity, business owner, or just EtA-curious, you’ll find ideas, resources, and connections that can help along your M&A journey.

About Me - Roman Beylin
I’m an entrepreneur who’s deeply passionate about small business M&A.
I began my career as an investment analyst at one of the world’s largest asset management firms. In 2017, after selling my consulting business, I caught the M&A bug. Since then, I’ve bought and sold a handful of small online businesses — and launched (and failed at) a few startups along the way.
Today, I’m all in on the small business acquisition space.
I run several projects at the intersection of entrepreneurship and M&A:
The Business Inquirer — a weekly newsletter curating insights, resources, and conversations in small business M&A.
DueDilio — a curated marketplace to hire highly vetted M&A service providers for SMB transactions.
The Deal Flow Scout — an open platform for free, peer-to-peer sharing of deal flow.
Thanks for checking out The Business Inquirer!
