Free weekly feed
A scored weekly list of lower-middle-market businesses for sale: founder-led businesses, carve-outs, strategic reviews, covenant stress and 363 bankruptcy sales, each linked to its source (broker listing, filing, docket or press). Free; an email address is all we ask for.
Who it's for
Independent sponsors and small holdcos buying lower-middle-market businesses, the deals mainstream lenders pass on, who don't yet have relationships with small and specialty lenders and can't justify an advisor's success fee.
