Our 90-day guarantee

5 pre-vetted opportunities in 90 days, or you don't pay until we hit it.

If we don't put 5 pre-vetted, buy-box-fit opportunities in front of you within 90 days, you don't pay until we do. Every opportunity is screened against your buy box and qualified by an M&A operator before it reaches you.

Why this guarantee exists

Most sourcing engagements just stall out.

The firm runs through some target list. Sends some emails. Holds some calls. At the end of it, you get an activity report covering what was technically done. You rarely get opportunities that actually fit your buy box, and you have no way to hold anyone to a clear result.

Our performance guarantee removes the ambiguity. The number is defined upfront. The buy box is approved upfront. The timeline is set upfront. If we don't put 5 pre-vetted, buy-box-fit opportunities in front of you within 90 days, you don't pay until we do.

We guarantee the opportunities: the right owners, screened against your buy box, in front of you on a defined timeline. Surfacing the right opportunities, before anyone else is at the table, is what makes proprietary search actually work.

What we cover

A clear number, on a defined timeline.

Each opportunity qualified by an M&A operator before it reaches you
You don't pay until we hit it

The terms, plain English

How the 90-day guarantee works.

Our 90-day guarantee · Standard Terms

How it works

We commit to put 5 pre-vetted, buy-box-fit opportunities in front of you within 90 days of kickoff
The 90 days start once your buy box is approved and the campaign is live
If we don't reach 5 inside the window, you don't pay until we do

What counts as a pre-vetted opportunity

A real owner who fits your buy box on industry, geography, size, and financials
Screened and qualified by an M&A operator before it reaches you, not a raw lead pulled from a list
Surfaced with enough groundwork that you can evaluate fit, not just a name and a number

The buy-box vetting

We don't hand you raw leads. Every owner is screened against your buy box (industry, geography, size, and financials) and qualified by an M&A operator before it reaches you, so the only opportunities you see are ones that actually fit.

What we can't promise

That you close a deal. Owner timing, diligence outcomes, and price alignment aren't things we control
That a specific owner says yes, or is ready to sell when you reach them
That a given opportunity clears diligence once you're in it

What we need from you

Show up to kickoff and approve the buy box on schedule
Keep the buy box stable so we're vetting against a steady target
Pay the retainer on time once the guarantee is met
Follow up on pre-vetted opportunities we deliver within 7 business days

Pulling out early or materially changing the mandate voids the guarantee. Full terms live in the Engagement Agreement and govern in case of any conflict.
