Finding a great business to buy is brutal.
The good deals never make it to a listing site. By the time you see them, ten other buyers do too, and the price is already bid up. Most acquirers burn 12 to 24 months cold-emailing owners, chasing brokers who do not call back, and watching deals die in diligence. Then they quit.
We're a sell-side firm first.
Founders trust us to represent their businesses, which means a constant stream of real, sellable companies comes to us before it ever reaches the open market. When you engage us on the buy side, you get first look at that flow, plus dedicated outreach to owners who aren't even listed yet. That's deal flow you can't get on your own.
Everything it takes to acquire, done for you.
A senior M&A team working your mandate full-time. Here is exactly what is included.
- Dedicated off-market sourcing in your exact thesis$12,000/mo
- First look at our sell-side inbound (deals before they list)Included
- Custom target list + direct-to-owner outreach$6,000
- Quality-of-earnings coordination & financial screening$7,500
- Deal structuring & negotiation on your behalf$10,000
- Diligence project management through to close$8,000
- Closing support, financing intros & handoff$5,000
If we haven't put real, on-thesis, off-market opportunities in front of you within your first 90 days, we keep working at no additional retainer until we do. We only win when you acquire, so we're on the same side of the table as you.
Who a buy-side mandate is built for
You have spent months cold-emailing owners with little to show for it. A mandate replaces that grind with a steady flow of on-thesis, off-market opportunities, screened and qualified, while you focus on evaluating and closing.
Everything publicly listed is picked over. Because we represent sellers first, we see businesses before they ever hit a marketplace, and we run the process end to end so diligence doesn't turn into chaos.
You buy on a thesis, not on whatever happens to be for sale. We source directly to your criteria, and the retainer is credited against the success fee at close, so you pay in full only when you own the business.
- You have capital ready and proof of funds
- You know roughly what you want to buy
- You're ready to move in the next 1-6 months
- You'd rather close one great deal than chase fifty
- You're still deciding whether to buy at all
- You have no capital or financing lined up
- You want to pay only if a deal closes
- You're just browsing for the perfect unicorn
Not ready to engage? and come back when you are.
