PRIVATE M&A PLATFORM FOR EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS

PrivSource provides a way for business owners and sell-side advisors to get in
front of buyers who they may miss through a traditional M&A process.


QUALITY

All buyers, intermediaries, and deals are fully-vetted. Translating into time
and resources saved.


TRUST

Our private platform engages only buyside members with high certainty of closure


NO FEES

No commissions, referral, or success fees. Ever


ANONYMOUS

Share only key metrics through discreet and anonymous listings


NATIONWIDE US & CANADA BASED

Our sweet spot is $500k-$20mm in EBITDA. We generally require engagements to
have north of either $5mm in revenue OR $500k in EBITDA. We understand not all
good deals fit inside a box so we occasionally make exceptions if the deal falls
under our EBITDA/ revenue threshold, but exhibits high-quality characteristics.


$500K-$25M EBITDA

Most businesses are sold as a multiple of annual EBITDA. At this end of the
market, EBITDA can refer to seller's discretionary earnings or "SDE".


$5M-$150M REVENUE

Most buy-side firms on the PrivSource platform are seeking companies with
revenues in the range of $5M-$150M.


$1M-$50M ARR

Not all revenues are created equally. We see the most success with software and
subscription businesses with recurring revenue that do $1M-$50M in ARR.


CLOSED AND SECURE

Thousands of firms and intermediaries across the lower middle market M&A
ecosystem use PrivSource to source and list buyout opportunities.



PrivSource was a game changer. Of all the sourcing tools we tried, PrivSource
had the best deals, the widest range of intermediaries, and the most reasonable
fee structure (no acquisition fee).




CHRIS SYKES


MANAGING DIRECTOR, EAGLE ROCK CAPITAL

Trying to find good deals is difficult. PrivSource takes all the great deals
available and consolidated them into one place and makes it easy to search for
specific criteria. It makes sourcing deals extremely easy and cost-effective.




TODD BURDON


EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, RHYNO EQUITY GROUP

Anyone sourcing via intermediaries or non-proprietary outreach will benefit from
the amount of time the platform saves you during the week. The sell-side reps
I’ve dealt with (bankers/brokers/advisors) have all produced quality materials
and there hasn’t been one instance ‘haggling’ for basic data.

FAQS


WHAT IS PRIVSOURCE?

→
↓

PrivSource is a fully vetted M&A deal platform targeting the lower middle
market. In order to join the platform, all members need to apply for access. We
require that buyside members have an operating or investing background and
access to funds available for an acquisition. We also vet all engagements that
our sellside members post, in order to maintain a high quality deal platform. In
order to qualify, an opportunity needs to exhibit > $5mm in annual revenue OR
$500k in EBITDA. We do occasionally make exceptions if the opportunity exhibits
high quality characteristics such as high margins, SaaS business model, niche
market, etc. We’re industry agnostic and currently offer coverage in the US and
Canada.


HOW DOES PRIVSOURCE SOURCE OPPORTUNITIES?

→
↓

With our background as investors in the market, we’ve established a network of
high quality deal flow with M&A advisors, bankers, and high quality brokers who
want to better reach high quality buyers. Most of our deal flow on the platform
comes from the hundreds of sellside groups and users that have signed up on the
platform. We also leverage technology to curate publicly available listings from
hundreds of sources, so you do not have to scour additional marketplaces and
listing sites. As a result, we offer a solution that combines high quality
public listings with engagements that you won’t find anywhere else.


IS PRIVSOURCE LIKE AXIAL OR BIZBUYSELL?

→
↓

Sort of. We offer a deal platform similarly to these websites. However, unlike
Axial we do not charge fees on any deal that is sourced through the platform. We
also do not match buyers based on fit or criteria. Instead, we fully vet anyone
before they are given access to the platform, so they can opportunistically look
for deals once they have access. As a result, we offer higher quality
opportunities than BizBuySell.


IS PRIVSOURCE RIGHT FOR ME/MY FIRM?

→
↓

The short answer is it depends. We offer value to buyers/intermediaries looking
to acquire/exit in a virtual market, through a less traditional M&A process. Our
buyside members consist of private equity firms, single family offices,
independent sponsors, traditional search funds, and strategic M&A groups. Our
sellside members consist of investment bankers, M&A advisors, and high quality
brokers.


WHAT INDUSTRIES/REGIONS DOES THE PLATFORM COVER?

→
↓

We currently cover the US and Canadian markets. We’re industry agnostic. We have
members searching for software, HVAC, and everything in between.


WHAT TYPE OF ENGAGEMENTS DOES PRIVSOURCE OFFER?

→
↓

We focus on majority and 100% buyout opportunities.


DOES PRIVSOURCE CHARGE SELLSIDE REFERRAL/SUCCESS FEES?

→
↓

We do not charge fees. Ever. We make money off of a monthly subscription
membership that the buyside pays in order to access our deal platform. See
pricing for details.


CAN I CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION ANYTIME?

→
↓

Yes. Your subscription is month-to-month, so you can cancel and reactivate your
plan anytime.
