One of the biggest challenges we see with first-time and independent business buyers isn’t financing. It’s knowing where to consistently find credible acquisition opportunities.
Most buyers waste months bouncing between random listing sites, broker emails, and incomplete teasers without a clear strategy for sourcing deals that actually fit their criteria.
Our team at Pioneer Capital Advisory LLC put together a concise deal sourcing guide that outlines where serious buyers are finding opportunities across traditional SMBs, lower middle market businesses, and online or digital companies. It also includes practical guidance on how to use these platforms efficiently and what to send your advisor once you find a deal worth evaluating.
If you’re actively searching and want a structured starting point, email me redacted and we’re happy to share a copy of the guide. When you reach out, please include a short buyer profile and your LinkedIn URL so we can better understand what you’re looking for.
Feel free to book a call with me — I’d love to connect, learn more about your goals, and explain how we support buyers from pre-LOI through closing. You can book a call here: https://calendly.com/rafael-pioneercap
