M&A advisors and business brokers
Lead generation for M&A advisors and business brokers
Owners of good businesses don't list them. They talk to the advisor who reached them first and treated the conversation with care. We research owners to your mandate, write short, respectful outreach in your firm's name, screen replies for intent, and book owner conversations with your advisors.

Karen, thirty-one years is a long time to keep a machine shop busy through every cycle.
I work with owners of manufacturing businesses in the Midwest. Most aren't selling. Some would like to know what the business is worth, or what their options look like when they're ready.
If that's ever useful, I can put together a confidential view. No listing, no obligation.

What works in M&A and brokers
The specifics that make the difference between a campaign that books meetings and one that gets ignored.
- Owner research from filings, websites and press, verified before outreach

- Email and LinkedIn from domains and profiles tied to your firm
- Replies screened so only serious owners reach an advisor
- A quarterly owner newsletter for everyone who said not now
Questions
How do you find business owners who might sell?
We build lists to your mandate and prioritize owners with timing signals: long tenure, no named successor, a recent general manager hire, a second location. Then we approach each one personally.
Is the outreach confidential?
Yes. We never name a client or a buyer without your approval, never publish owner names, and keep owner data private to your engagement.
How many owner conversations should we expect?
A handful a month per mandate from a well-researched list, growing as the not-now pile matures. Owner outreach replies at lower rates than B2B email, but each reply is worth far more.
Do you advise on the deal?
No. We start the conversations. Your team runs the deal.
Tell us who you want to meet.
Thirty minutes with the founder. You'll leave with a clear picture of your market, what a campaign would look like and what it would cost.
