Acquisera Advisory

Strategic buyside advisory for transformative acquisitions

We partner with private equity firms, independent sponsors, and corporate acquirers to identify, evaluate, and execute platform and add-on acquisitions. Our own sourcing engine drives proprietary, off-market origination, from thesis through close.

Buyside advisory takes more than transaction execution. It takes a true partnership built on trust, insight, and aligned incentives.

Acquisera, or Acquisera Advisory?

Two ways to buy the same capability: software your team drives, or our team driving it for you. The engine underneath is the same. The only difference is who is at the wheel.

A full buyside mandate, start to finish

From the first thesis to a signed deal. Proactive origination, disciplined execution, and a focus on long-term value.

What each one delivers

We built the software we use to source our own deals.

Acquisera is not a data feed we licensed. It is our own origination engine, built in the trenches of live M&A mandates. Retain our advisory team and you get the people who built it, running it on your search.

Six phases, thesis to close

You see the market before we contact anyone in it, and you step in only to set the mandate and to decide. Everything between is ours to run.

How we represent you to owners

Most owners we approach are not running a process and have never heard of your firm. We publish exactly what we tell them: who we are, how a sale actually works, and the standards we hold ourselves to. An owner can check us out before replying, and you know how your name is being carried.

A different approach to buyside advisory

Deep sector expertise and principal-level commitment on every engagement, combined with a sourcing engine no traditional advisor has.

Principal-level attention

Senior dealmakers lead every engagement. There are no handoffs and no junior-heavy teams. You work directly with the people doing the work.

Deep sector expertise

Focused coverage across key sectors: competitive dynamics, valuation benchmarks, and the questions that actually move a deal.

Proprietary deal flow

Proactive origination, powered by our data engine, that surfaces off-market opportunities the broad market never sees.

Aligned incentives

Honest counsel and rigorous execution, with a fee structure tied to your outcome. We earn the success fee only when you close.

Priced by project

A flat monthly retainer set by how many mandates we run at once, plus a standard Lehman success fee on each deal closed.

What's included, and how the success fee works

Questions

Who do you work with?
Private equity firms, independent sponsors, searchers, and corporate acquirers pursuing platform or add-on acquisitions. In short, anyone who would rather have proprietary deal flow delivered than build a sourcing operation themselves.
How is Advisory different from the software subscription?
The subscription is self-serve software your team operates. Advisory is the same platform with our team running the entire origination process for you: search, enrichment, screening, outreach, and follow-up. We hand you qualified opportunities to evaluate.
Do we still get the software?
Yes. Every advisory engagement includes full access to Acquisera Premium and your own proprietary database, so your team can work alongside ours in the same platform.
How hands-on do we need to be?
As little as you like. We run the pipeline and bring you screened, qualified opportunities; you step in to set the mandate and to decide which deals to pursue.
Who owns the data at the end?
You do. Targets, contacts, outreach history, and the diligence record all live in your own database throughout the engagement and stay there after it ends.

Question about the retainer or the success fee? Those are answered on the pricing page.
