Start the ConversationThe Promise
Our highest-touch tier. You still run the search and own every owner conversation. A senior advisory team is with you on every decision that matters, from thesis development through close and transition.
How It Works
Search Premier is built for buyers with capital and conviction whose constraint is time, not deal flow. We bring the team, the system, and the experience of running searches from thesis through transition. You stay involved on the parts that require your judgment and your relationships.
We build the thesis with you. Industry selection, geographic strategy, size and ownership criteria, and the differentiation that will win owner conversations.
The full DealBuff outreach engine for proprietary off-market deals, plus support evaluating brokered and on-market opportunities. Multi-channel sequences, list building, deliverability, and qualified conversations routed to you.
Financial qualification, response triage, and background research before deals reach you. Your time goes to the conversations that matter most.
Due diligence partnership with you in the lead across financial, quality of earnings, legal, and operational workstreams. Capital strategy support, lender introductions, and quarterback on the closing process.
Each tier builds on the one before it. Search Premier is our highest-touch tier: senior advisory with you at every step, with the engine sourcing off-market, brokered, and on-market deals end to end.

What's Included
Timeline
Real conversations don't happen on day one. Here's how the engine works in practice.
Infrastructure, contact lists, deliverability, copy, and multi-channel sequences go live. Outreach begins. Early reply data starts shaping iteration.
Owners are engaging. Qualified conversations surface and some become real opportunities. You drive every owner call.
Live deals enter LOI and diligence. Engagement deepens to match where you are in the process.
Your Role
Search Premier is not done-for-you. The investment thesis is yours. The owner conversations that matter are yours. The diligence priorities and the financing decisions are yours, with our team standing next to you. What we take off your plate is everything that doesn't require your judgment. Infrastructure, list building, sourcing, screening, provider coordination, diligence logistics, and closing process management.
Sourcing, advisory, and closing support live under one roof. No handoffs between vendors. No information lost between firms.
Designed for buyers whose constraint is hours, not capital or conviction. We absorb the operational load so your time goes to the highest-leverage decisions.
The goal is a closed acquisition you'll be proud to operate. Engagement structure and deliverables are designed around that single outcome.
Who This Is For
Currently employed and unable to run a full-time search. You want a closed deal in a credible timeline without leaving your seat early.
Capital allocators who are ready to own and operate a business. You bring the conviction and the funding plan. We bring the operational machinery alongside you.
You've done one before. You know what the process takes and want to compress the timeline without giving up control of the decisions that matter.
Search Premier is our highest-touch engagement. Tell us about your search, your capital position, and your timeline. We'll come back with a working plan or a referral to the tier that fits.
Search Core is the outreach engine on its own. Search Plus adds an advisor through the deal while you stay in the operator seat.
