M&A for the lower middle market

Both sides of the deal.
We research before we call.

We find acquisition opportunities for private equity firms and family offices, and help founder- and family-owned businesses prepare and sell, with fractional CFO support, AI implementation, and introductions to buyers who fit.

How we work with buyers and owners

Buyer or owner, your first call is with a founder, and we’re still in the room once the LOI is signed and diligence begins.

Private equity and family offices

Buy-side search

Retained search for private equity firms and family offices. We map the market against your buy box, research each company before we reach out, and introduce owners who are open to a conversation.

For buyers

Business owners

Selling a business

We start by mapping the buyers most likely to want a business like yours, then handle every buyer conversation in confidence. For sale introductions, buyers pay our fee. Owners pay nothing, and we only introduce buyers who fit.

For sellers

Business owners

Fractional CFO and AI implementation

For owners preparing for growth or a sale. Fractional CFO support covers financial leadership, accounting, and reporting without a full-time hire. AI implementation puts practical tools to work in your operations, reporting, and back office.
