Buy-Side Mandates

We source deals for you.

For active acquirers who want sourced opportunities, not just marketplace access. We find acquisition targets that match your exact investment thesis.

Every mandate gets a dedicated advisor

We take on a limited number of mandates so each one receives dedicated sourcing from our M&A team.

How It Works

From criteria to closing

A structured process designed to deliver qualified targets — not just names.

01

Thesis alignment

We start with your investment criteria — sector, size, geography, deal type, and return profile. 30-minute call, no paperwork.

02

Active sourcing begins

Our team runs AI-assisted outreach across email, LinkedIn, phone, and broker networks — plus our live deal database and off-market contacts.

03

Screened deal flow

Every target is pre-screened against your criteria. You only see deals that fit. No noise, no recycled listings.

04

Warm introductions

We handle initial outreach and NDA execution. You receive a warm introduction to motivated sellers ready to engage.
