Everything an acquirer needs to go from buy-box to funded offer.

Sourcing, scoring, outreach, and financing — built for PE, family offices, independent sponsors, and search funds running real bespoke searches.

Proprietary, off-market deal flow.

Nine source categories — registrations, professional licenses, UCC liens, property records, payroll proxies, owner signals, web footprint, and industry comps — reconciled into one ranked pipeline against your buy-box.

Scored on fit and owner motivation.

Every target is analyzed across the same nine signals and ranked on fit and owner motivation — so the top of the funnel is the businesses most likely to sell, not the longest list.

Confidential by default

From the acquirers using it.

There's no perfect list — and in the lower middle market, that's exactly where the opportunity is. Dealport surfaces the information other platforms miss, and comes closer than any database we've used.

PARTNER$3.4B PE firm · Houston

I underestimated how much full-time work a real search is. Finding a name on a list is the easy part — qualifying owners, getting in front of them, and learning who's actually open to selling is a job in itself.

We were spending more on data subscriptions than on our analysts. Replacing four tools with Dealport paid for itself in the first quarter — and the leads were better.

Plain answers, no jargon.

The questions acquirers and capital desks ask most often.

What does it look like to work with Dealport?+

Dealport Discovery is a committed, fully managed search. Our team runs sourcing and outreach end to end against your buy-box and brokers opted-in owner conversations to your calendar — five warm introductions a month, minimum. You take the calls; we do the work to get you there, with progress visible continuously in the app.

How much does it cost?+

Discovery is a managed engagement scoped to your mandate, not a self-serve subscription. Tell us your buy-box and the markets you want covered and we'll size the search and cadence on a first call.

What's the exclusivity model?+

Two layers. Every lead we surface is exclusive to you for 30 days from when it first appears, and you can hold up to ten leads in Active slots indefinitely. No other customer can touch a held lead; leads you release return to the general pool.

How fast do we see deals?+

Scored targets start surfacing in the first days of the engagement. The first brokered owner introduction typically lands within the first few weeks, with progress visible continuously in the app.

Are you a licensed broker?+

No. We don't represent sellers and we don't coordinate the close. We work the buy-side end of sourcing, scoring, outreach, and financing — then we step back. Counsel, QoE, and the close stay between you and the seller.

How do you source off-market?+

Public registries, industry data, succession signals, and proprietary research. Every target is reviewed by hand before it reaches you. Owners are approached directly — never through a listing service.
