Buy-side M&A advisory
We act as your dedicated buy-side team from first mandate to signed close, sourcing off-market targets, conducting diligence, valuing the business on its real numbers, and negotiating the terms that protect your capital.
No obligation. Initial consultation at no cost.
We respond within one business day. Confidential.
We approach owners directly through proprietary market intelligence rather than waiting for listings. Fewer competing bidders, and better terms for the acquirer.
Independent verification of what the business actually earns, completed before you commit, so the price reflects reality rather than the seller’s presentation.
Valuation discipline and deal structure across price, earnouts, seller notes, and working capital, designed to protect your capital and your downside.
Coordination of SBA, seller, and conventional sources so the capital stack supports the return rather than straining it.
The engagement
Define the acquisition thesis: sector, size, geography, and the economics that make a deal worth doing.
Identify and approach qualified targets directly, the majority off-market, and screen them for fit and seller readiness.
Verify earnings through a Quality of Earnings analysis and value the business on its real numbers.
Negotiate price and terms and structure the transaction to protect your capital.
Coordinate the capital stack across SBA, seller, and conventional sources.
Manage the transaction to a signed close, with re-trading engineered out from the first day.
Common questions
A buy-side advisor represents the acquirer rather than the seller. We define the acquisition thesis, source and screen targets, run diligence and valuation, and negotiate structure and price through to close, with the buyer’s interest as the only mandate.
