Fuel Your Pipeline With Proprietary Deal Flow
At Sellside Group, our buy-side engagements are built to keep you out of auctions and in front of owners who aren’t on the market. Led by former CEOs with decades of operational experience, our Managing Directors open doors that brokers and bankers can’t. We identify, engage, and qualify proprietary targets—giving you early access, cleaner negotiations, and a competitive edge without bid-war pricing.
Our Process
Step 1: Getting to Know You
Every successful search begins with clarity. We work closely with you to understand exactly who you are as a buyer—your investment thesis, target industries, ideal company profile, ownership preferences, EBITDA range, geographic focus, and the operational characteristics that matter most.
From there, our Managing Directors and Analyst team build a tailored bank of marketing materials that articulate your unique value proposition to business owners. This includes anonymous project overviews, target lists, outreach messaging, and all collateral needed to initiate credible, high-quality conversations with motivated sellers.
Step 2: Identify, Contact and Screen Targets
With your criteria defined, we launch a disciplined outreach effort to identify, contact, and screen high-fit targets. We engage owners directly—assessing alignment, readiness to engage, and the key points you need to evaluate fit.
Our team prepares concise write-ups on each qualified opportunity and shares them with you for review. As interest builds, we coordinate and host all introductory calls, ensuring a smooth, peer-to-peer dialogue between our Managing Directors and business owners.
Throughout this stage, we maintain a bi-weekly cadence of communication and operate as an extension of your team, keeping your pipeline active and moving forward.
Step 3: Negotiations, Due Diligence and Closing Support
As targets advance, we support you through LOI negotiations to secure alignment, protect valuation, and move the deal into exclusivity. Once in due diligence, we help coordinate all parties—your team, Quality of Earnings partner, and legal counsel—to ensure a focused, efficient, and well-managed process.
Our Managing Directors stay engaged with ownership throughout, maintaining momentum, addressing concerns, and keeping both sides moving toward a smooth due diligence experience and a successful closing.
