Searcher Advisors
Most advisors find you leads. We find you your company.
Full-service, principal-led buy-side representation for qualified acquirers. A principal sits on your side of the table, from thesis to close. Application only.
The engagement
White-glove buy-side advisory
Searcher Advisors is for acquirers who want the machine run for them. You bring conviction and capital. We bring the system that sources, screens, structures, and closes, with a principal in the room at every step. Engagements target businesses in the $2M to $20M revenue range.
01
Strategy and Thesis
A custom acquisition thesis: buy box, capital plan, and the criteria that let you say no fast.
02
Precision Sourcing
Three to five curated, pre-screened opportunities a month against your thesis. Not a list. A shortlist.
03
Evaluation and Structuring
Underwriting, valuation, and deal structure on every candidate that survives screening.
04
Diligence and Close
Diligence built from crash reports, negotiation support, and close execution.
Alignment
No success fee. On purpose.
Advisors who get paid when you transact want you to transact. We are compensated for the work, not the closing, so walking away from a bad deal costs us nothing and saves you everything. Look at the incentives on the other side of the table and you will see why that matters.
The principal
A principal on every seller call.
Not an analyst pool. Not a junior team working from a script. The person who underwrites your deal is the person in the room with the seller. And the screen your candidates run through is built from 60+ buyer post-mortems: the documented reasons acquisitions actually die.
The application
Bring the thesis. Or bring the ambition and we will build it.
Engagement structure and pricing are discussed after your application. This is a capacity-limited practice, not a product.
