How we're aligned

Your search, and no one else's.

The name isn't decoration. Aligned Profit exists because our founder watched the standard model do the opposite, so we built ours so our interests can't drift from yours.

We came from a model that worked against the buyer.

Before Aligned Profit sourced for buyers, it sourced for brokers. Some of those brokers did two things that poisoned the whole arrangement: they put their own offers in on the deals they'd been hired to sell, and they shopped the same pipeline to everyone at once. The person who did the work, finding the owner and building the relationship, didn't control where the deal went.

We rebuilt the firm to make that impossible. Everything that follows comes from one rule: we work for one buyer per market, and the owners we find for you are yours.

One client. Your owners. A trained operator on every call.

Built so we can't compete with you

One client per segment

We take a single buyer per industry sub-segment, geography, and deal-size range. While we're running your search, we're not running a competing one next door.

The owner we surface goes to you

Never shopped to another client, never dropped into a shared pipeline, never bid on by us. The relationship we build on your behalf is built for you.

A trained M&A operator on every seller call

The person across the table from your owners is trained to run a real seller conversation, working from the same process every time. Trust built early is what makes a seller choose you over a higher bid later.

The scope set in writing at kickoff

The buy box, the channels, the cadence, the timeline, all defined and approved before we send a single message. You know exactly what you're getting.

Simple, and stated upfront.

A monthly retainer sized to your engagement, plus a flat, capped success fee when you close a deal through the search. We set the structure in writing at kickoff, so there are no surprises and you know what a close costs before you start. We walk through the full pricing on the strategy call.

What we don't promise.

We don't promise you'll close a deal, and we're wary of anyone who does. Owner timing, diligence, and price sit outside any sourcing firm's control. What we promise is that we're on your side of the table only, that your search is exclusively yours, and that the work is real and run to a consistent standard. Over an 18 to 24 month search, that's what actually produces deals.
