Origination that ends in a deal.

A readout inside a few days, then your first screened list. Roughly [N] businesses with owner details, the exclusion reasoning behind each, and a likelihood-to-sell read. Enough to start contacting in week two.

Observable proxies, not claims about anyone's intentions: owner age and years in the business, whether a successor or family member works there, how long it has been family-held, whether it has been listed or approached before, hiring and web-presence signals, and what brokers in that market have already touched. It ranks who to call first. It doesn't tell you anyone has decided to sell — nobody has that data on private owners, and firms that say they do are guessing.

Yes. These are businesses that haven't run a process. Some have been approached before, and where we can tell, we say so.

A list is names against filters. You get a screen with a written reason for every business we cut, a likelihood read on every one we kept, and a route to each owner. The test is simple: ask a list vendor why a specific company isn't on your list.

The readout will say so, and show which single criterion is costing you the most. It's the most common outcome we see, and much cheaper to learn in week one than in month eight.

No — it's expected, and it's the reason the readout exists. Loosening a radius or dropping a revenue floor changes the size of your market immediately, and we'll show you the new number before you commit to it.

Each vertical is a one-time build rather than a per-client cost, so it's a question of order, not possibility. Tell us yours on the call and we'll say honestly whether it's weeks or months away.

The screen is built once per industry and reviewed by a person before it's used, then reused across every buyer in that vertical. It isn't rebuilt by a rotating bench of interns and billed back as analyst hours.

Not in the same industry and geography at the same time. If someone else is already working your lane, we'll tell you on the first call rather than sell you a diluted version. [confirm your exclusivity policy]

Then it worked. Cancel with 30 days' notice — there's no lock-in, and we'd rather be the reason you closed in month six than a line item for two years.

Yes. Everything screened for you, exported in a usable format.

No. We source and screen; we don't represent sellers or negotiate terms. [confirm wording with counsel]

Estimates from public statistical data — government business counts, licence records, published industry rates — not a register of every company. Close enough to plan around. Anything inferred rather than counted is marked as inferred.
