Confidential intake
Anonymized profile until you say otherwise.
Confidential conversations with funded buyers.
List your business with the team that represents qualified acquirers. No retainers, no fees, no listing.
Free for owners. No retainers. No fees on close.
A quiet way to sell.
You talk to us first. We bring vetted, funded buyers to the table — when you're ready, on your timeline, without listing your business publicly.
We work the buy-side, not yours.
Most brokers represent the seller and charge you on close. We work the buy-side — capital partners pay us, not you. The deal stays yours.
- No retainers
- No fees on close
- Capital partners pay us
Your name stays in the conversation.
Your financials, your intent, even your curiosity — none of it leaves our team without your permission. We bring you to a buyer only after we've vetted them.
- Confidential by default
- Your data, your permission
- Anonymous intake
Real buyers, vetted.
PE firms, family offices, and independent sponsors actively buying in the lower middle market. Funded, serious, and aligned on price before you hear their name.

Walk-away ready

Have a quiet conversation first.
No obligation, no fees, no listing. Just a half-hour call.
Three steps. One conversation at a time.
01
Talk to us first.
A confidential call. We get a sense of the business and what you might be open to — no obligation, no listing.
02
We bring you the right buyer.
We surface your business to acquirers whose buy-box matches. With Dealport Discovery, we run that introduction end-to-end — the buyer hears about you only after we've vetted them.
03
Negotiate directly. Keep the deal yours.
Once introduced, the conversation is yours and the buyer's — no broker between. Your counsel, your timeline, your terms. If the buyer needs financing, our capital marketplace handles that on their side.
From owners who've had the conversation.
I'd been approached by three brokers and none of them would tell me who'd actually buy my business. Dealport showed up with a name, a thesis, and a number before I'd even decided I wanted to sell.
What I cared about was confidentiality. Half the value of a private business walks out the door the day employees and competitors find out. Dealport kept it quiet the whole way.
We weren't ready to sell when we first talked — and they didn't try to make us. Two years later when we were, the same buyer was still on the list.
Plain answers, no jargon.
The questions buyers and owners ask most often. If yours isn't here, ask us on a call.
Those are databases. They give you filter levers and a CSV. Dealport is a bespoke search — every target is analyzed against your buy-box across nine data categories (corporate filings, professional licenses, UCC liens, payroll proxies, property records, owner social and life signals, and more), scored on fit and motivation, and approached on your behalf. We do the analysis and the outreach. You evaluate real owners, not lists.
Off-market deal sourcing means finding businesses to acquire before they're listed for sale — directly with owners, not through a broker or marketplace. Most quality lower-middle-market companies never list; off-market sourcing reaches those owners first. Dealport scores motivated, off-market targets against your buy-box and helps you reach the owners directly.
A deal origination platform helps acquirers systematically find and qualify acquisition targets — sourcing, scoring, outreach, and pipeline in one place — instead of waiting on inbound from bankers. Dealport layers owner-motivation signals and integrated financing on top of origination, so you can move from a target to a funded offer in one platform.
Start with a buy-box — sector, size, and geography — then source businesses that fit, ideally off-market before they list. Dealport scores targets against your thesis, surfaces owner contact info and motivation signals, and runs the outreach, so your time goes to real conversations instead of building lists.
You define a buy-box and matching companies show up immediately and free — name, location, sector, a revenue estimate, and a surface fit score. From there, each lead moves on your terms: reveal the owner's contact, enrich it for a full fit and priority score, then claim the best ones exclusively. You only spend credits when you act, and reach owners with built-in outreach. Want it hands-off? Dealport Discovery runs sourcing and outreach for you and books opted-in owner conversations — five guaranteed warm introductions a month, each reviewed by a human before it's sent.
Three ways to work: Pay-as-you-go ($14.99 for 5 credits, no subscription), Professional ($299/mo — 250 credits that roll over, plus in-app outreach), or fully managed Dealport Discovery (talk to us). Browsing your matches is always free; credits reveal owners, enrich leads, and claim the best exclusively for 30 days. Financing is free to you — capital partners pay us, never the borrower. No commissions or success fees at close, and five free credits to start.
We pull from public registries, industry data, and our own research to find businesses that fit a specific buyer's buy-box. We're not affiliated with your accountant or broker. Your information stays confidential.
No. We're not a broker-dealer and we don't represent sellers. We work the buyer side. Counsel, QoE, and capital partners handle the close — coordinated by our team, independent of it.
Most owners we talk to aren't ready today. We'll walk you through what your business might be worth and check back when the timing's right — months or years from now. No pressure.
Yes — agentic discovery across nine data categories is what lets us run a bespoke search against your buy-box every week, on twenty markets at once. The engine handles volume; our team handles judgment. Every campaign is reviewed and every introduction is sent by a human. That's the design, not a hedge.
Operators who've built and exited businesses, invested in private credit, and spent years in the lower middle market. M&A, capital formation, and modern software. Meet the team on a first call.
A real conversation, when you're ready.
Confidential, no obligation, no fees. We'll walk you through today's market and what serious buyers are looking for — even if you're years away.
