Three ways to find a business worth owning — and everything that happens once one is in hand.
01
Your buyer profile
Every engagement opens with a full interview — your background, operating experience, capital position and what you're actually equipped to run.
The interview, written up
Geography, financing capability, career track record, operating experience and acquisition criteria — the document brokers read before they decide whether to take your call.
Accounts opened on every platform
A complete buyer identity built for you — marketplace logins, broker portals and auction sites, created, verified and maintained so you arrive as an established buyer rather than an anonymous signup.
20+ platforms per client
02
Listed
Sixteen marketplaces, scanned daily against your buying criteria. Deals are scored and the strongest are applied to automatically.
Every marketplace, every day
One engine watching all of them, so nothing that fits your criteria gets missed on the day it lists.

Your live deal board
Colour-coded by stage: under LOI, under contract, sold, or passed — with the reason recorded.
What we capture on every deal
Location, revenue, EBITDA, cash flow, year established, employee count, seller type and intermediary — before anyone spends time reading it.
03
Pre-market
Relationships with brokers across the country, so their listings reach you before they reach the market.
A national broker network
Name, firm, direct contact and credentials — heaviest in Florida, California and Texas, with coverage in every state we buy in.

How the relationship gets built
A structured sequence over two weeks — introduction, credentials, your buy box, then a direct ask for anything not yet listed.
1Introduction — who the buyer is and what they're funded to acquire
2Credentials and the specific buy box
3Market note — what we're seeing in their sector
4The ask — anything pre-market? NDAs signed same day
5Close the loop and keep the relationship warm
The actual five emails
Introduction, then credentials and your buy box, then something genuinely
useful about their market — so you're a peer and not a lead. Then on day ten, the direct ask.

Off-market
Going directly to owners who never listed. The hardest channel to run, and where the least competitive deals are.
What it takes to run this properly
Five separate systems that have to work together. This is the part almost nobody builds.

Approaching the owner directly
A three-week sequence to an owner who has never thought about selling — opening with a qualified buyer, closing with a reason to reply either way.
Owners approached weekly100–150
Sequence length21 days

We act as the buyer
Applications, NDAs and every piece of correspondence go out under your name, from your address — so brokers deal with a buyer, not an agency.
NDAs signed and returned same day
Confidentiality and non-circumvention handled for you, so nothing waits on paperwork.

Analysis
The same questions asked of every business, then a human argues with the answers. This is where deals get killed before they cost you money.
Where the real risk shows up
Earnings falling year over year, labour running above the industry ceiling, expenses that can't be categorised, an owner who is the business.

A short-form analysis on every deal
Headline metrics, financing structure, three-year trend, top risks, owner involvement, the questions to ask, and who you'll need to hire after close.
07
The numbers
Price, debt, seller note, working capital and equity — modelled before anyone gets attached to a deal.
Does the deal actually service its debt?
Every structure tested against a coverage ratio of 1.5× or better. Below that, the business owns you.
The model behind the recommendation
Inputs on the left, results calculated on the right, and a clear recommendation at the bottom that a human can override with a reason.
How the purchase gets funded
Most buyers are surprised by how little of the price comes out of their own pocket.
Buyer — down payment10%
Seller — carries a note10%
The bank — SBA 7(a)80%
SBA ceiling now $10M
08
Capital
Proving you can pay, then finding the money. Brokers won't release a memorandum without evidence of funds, and the best deals need more than one source.
Proof of funds, on demand
Requested before a memorandum is released. Generated per deal so a broker's request never stalls your position in the queue.
The letter the broker receives
On letterhead, referenced and dated, pre-qualified to a stated amount, valid 90 days, with a verification contact.
Bank pre-qualification
A real lender reviews your financial statement, liquidity, credit profile and management experience — then puts a number in writing before you make an offer.

The investor room
Active acquisition investors, with role, mandate and direct contact — so a deal that needs equity has somewhere to go.

The offer
We structure it, we write it, and we put you in front of the broker with your position already made.
Every deal, side by side
Price, earnings, multiple, coverage ratio and annual cash flow — with the letter of intent and full report one click away on each.
Letter of intent
Price and terms, risk contingencies, assets in and out, diligence and closing timeline, exclusivity and signature block.
The introduction, already made
Sent from your address with your buyer profile and calendar attached, so the broker arrives at the call already knowing you're serious.
