The Probity Scholarship

Owning a small business will change your life.

I'll put you on Probity and help you through it, all through your search.

I'm Rob Novak, a CFO who has bought and operated businesses.

It is free for 5 people in the first cohort. A second cohort of 5 opens later.

Who it is for

Anyone whose life would change in a major way by owning a small business. That is the only requirement.

What you get

  • Deal Desk, free for your whole search, up to 12 months. It is extended while you are under LOI.
  • Cash Proof on one deal when you reach LOI.
  • Two partner seats: one for me, with your permission, and one for your partner or advisor.
  • A monthly call with me, and extra help when a deal heats up.

What you owe

Nothing. Your feedback is welcome and never a condition. If you close a deal, telling your story is your choice.

Program terms

  • I never pursue a business that is in a scholar's pipeline.
  • No success fees, no equity and no referral fees on scholar deals.
  • General information, not legal, tax or investment advice.

Apply

I read every application myself.
