The knowledge was always there.

BBHQ has been building one of the most valuable libraries of broker knowledge in North America. Hundreds of hours of real-world deal-making — valuations, deal structure, buyer psychology, earnouts, financing, negotiation — contributed by brokers who have actually done it.

That knowledge lived inside video files. If you missed a session, you might not know it existed. If you did watch, finding a specific moment meant scrubbing through an hour of footage. Most of it stayed locked, even for the people who'd already seen it.

AskHQ makes the full BBHQ archive searchable — the way it should have been from the start.

How it works

Ask the way you'd ask a colleague. AskHQ searches the full archive using AI and gives you an answer sourced directly from BBHQ content.

1
Ask your question in plain language. "How do I handle a buyer who wants an earnout?" or "What's a reasonable SDE multiple for a service business?"
2
AskHQ searches the entire BBHQ archive. Every webinar, every industry expert session, every training — AI finds the most relevant moments across all of it.
3
Get a direct answer with citations. Sourced from real BBHQ content, with links to the exact timestamps in the video so you can watch the original.

Example

How do I structure a deal when the seller has unrealistic price expectations?
From the BBHQ archive: The most effective approach discussed across several sessions is anchoring the conversation in recast financials early — before price is ever mentioned. In the Negotiation Scripts session, the framework is to present SDE recast first, then walk the seller backward to a defensible multiple range rather than arguing against their number directly. The key insight: sellers anchor to revenue; buyers anchor to cash flow. Your job is to shift the conversation to cash flow before price comes up.

Why use it

Because the answer to your deal question is probably already in the BBHQ archive. A broker has covered it in a session. Someone has wrestled with the same problem and shared what worked. You just couldn't find it before.

AskHQ is built specifically for the BBHQ community. It doesn't search the internet or give you generic advice. Every answer comes from BBHQ content — the sessions you've attended, the experts you've heard, the community you're part of.
