The businesses that aren't for sale yet.
We work with a small number of acquirers who know what they want to buy. Register your criteria for confidential introductions, or retain us to go and find the businesses that are not for sale yet.
Structured criteria, not a mailing listNDA before identitiesFees disclosed to both sides
We only make an introduction where there is a fit.
HOW WE WORK WITH BUYERS
You will not receive circulars. When we contact you it is because a business matches the criteria you gave us, in the sector, size and geography you specified. You receive an anonymous overview, then a full pack under NDA if you want to proceed.
Sellers know we may be paid by a buyer on some transactions; that is disclosed in writing on both sides before heads of terms.
Retain us to originate
For platforms and groups with an active buy-and-build strategy. We map the owner universe in your sector, approach the right ones directly, qualify interest and hand you warm, prepared conversations.
Discuss a retained search →Prepared businesses
Every seller we represent comes with a transaction pack: normalised profit, contract analysis and the issues due diligence will find. You are not doing our work for us.
A short process
We approach a handful of buyers, not a hundred. You are talking to a seller who chose to talk to you.
Owner-level access
For retained searches, we go to owners who have never listed and may never list: named, scored and accreditation-checked in your sector, approached personally rather than by mailshot. That is where the value is.
