Build the Machine That Finds, Evaluates and Executes Acquisitions.
Ownership of the acquisition function end to end: sourcing channels, screening discipline, offer strategy and close management, run as a system rather than a scramble.
Fit
Who this is for
- Acquisition firms dependent on broker relationships and luck
- Operators buying businesses or assets without a defined pipeline
- Teams that lose deals in diligence or at the offer stage
- Firms scaling from occasional acquisitions to a program
Context
The problem this solves
Acquisition volume is treated as a market condition when it is actually a process output.
- Sourcing depends on inbound and a handful of relationships
- Every opportunity is evaluated differently
- Offer strategy is decided in the moment
- Diligence and close coordination consume the entire team
Output
What we deliver
- Sourcing channel map with owners and activity targets
- Screening rubric and pass/pursue criteria
- Pipeline structure with stage definitions and conversion tracking
- Offer and negotiation framework
- Diligence checklist and coordination workflow
- Close management runbook with responsibility assignments
Ownership
What you own
- Pipeline, rubric and runbooks are installed in your systems
- Seller and broker relationships are built in your firm's name
- Your acquisitions team is trained on the standard
- The function keeps running when the engagement ends
Boundaries
What this is not
- We do not act as a real estate or business broker
- We do not represent you in negotiations requiring licensure
- We do not provide legal, environmental, title or engineering diligence
- Purchase decisions and contract execution remain with you
