Forward them, print them, put them in the board pack — that's what they're for.

In writing, in the agreement: a qualified-call floor on high-velocity mandates — reported weekly, every target approved by you by name before any introduction.

What's inside — the six questions

What does it cost?

A monthly retainer plus a reduced success fee on closings — the retainer typically repays itself on the first closed deal. The numbers take one short call and arrive in writing within a day.

Numbers in writing · next day

Why not brokers?

Listed deals carry a 6–10% seller fee in the price — and an auction on top. Ours carry neither.

Why not our own team?

Don't pay senior people to cold call. The hard, unglamorous work is ours — sourcing, qualifying, nurturing owners — and we back your team through close.

What if we'd have found them anyway?

What's the downside?

Month to month. Two months to judge us on delivered numbers — then scale or stop.

The math on a single $6M acquisition

The brokered route

Seller's brokerage fee (6–10%), priced in$360K–$600K
Auction — every buyer sees the dealMarket top
Your position in the processOne of many

The seller's fee is embedded in your price — then you bid the rest of the way up against the whole market.

The retained route

Success fee — reduced tierSet on one call
RetainerRepaid by the first close
Your positionOnly buyer at the table

No brokerage fee in the price, no auction, an unrepresented seller — better terms, not just a better number.

The retainer typically repays itself on the first closed deal — and the exact numbers take one five-minute call.
