How it works — and what you walk away with
Traditional deal sourcing takes 6-12 months and relies on brokers showing you the same deals they show everyone else. Our Target Sourcing service transforms this process—compressing timelines to 2-4 weeks and uncovering targets your competitors haven't found.
We start by deeply understanding your acquisition thesis: industry focus, size parameters, geographic preferences, and strategic rationale. Then we deploy AI-assisted sourcing across proprietary databases, public records, and relationship networks to identify companies that fit your criteria.
Each target receives a comprehensive profile including estimated financials, management team mapping, customer analysis, competitive positioning, and—critically—an assessment of likelihood to transact. You get a prioritized pipeline, not just a list.
