A deal function for companies where the next acquisition is not the last.
A company buying once can hire advisors for the transaction. A company buying repeatedly needs the function that sits behind the transactions: a pipeline that is always being worked, a screen that kills the wrong targets early, and an integration process that does not start from scratch each time.
Building that in-house means a corporate development hire, a mandate, and the volume to keep them busy. We run it as an outsourced function instead, at the cadence the acquisition plan actually needs.
The function behind the transactions.
Pipeline
Build and work a standing list of targets, so the next deal is a choice rather than whatever turned up.
Screening
Put every target through the same screen, and kill the ones that fail it before they absorb a month.
Diligence
Run diligence to a repeatable process, with the advisors coordinated and the findings priced into the deal.
Integration
Carry the acquisition past close, so the thing that was bought actually becomes part of the business.
What Your Business is Actually Worth, and Why Owners Get It Wrong
Most business owners overvalue their companies for understandable reasons. The market does not care about those reasons. Here is how to close the gap.
Qualification Is the Gate, and It Is Also the Price
Aerospace and defense work pays better and it's harder to lose. The catch is that the same qualifications that let you quote it also decide how long you wait to get paid, and most shops only price the first half.
Where the Next Dollar Goes
Most owners allocate capital by mood. A strong quarter buys equipment, a nervous one pays down the line. Strung together over 10 years, that is not a strategy. It is a series of reactions that happened to spend all the money.
