Off-Market Deal Origination That Fills Your Pipeline
We email the owners that fit your thesis, read every reply, and hand you the ones worth a call. 300+ a year. No success fees. No exclusivity.
I would not take anything less than $5M. Are you still interested in meeting?
Yes I would be glad to sell. I have recently had it valued at 8.76 mill.
Thanks for reaching out. Before discussing anything, could you share recent acquisitions, deal structure, and what flagged my company as a fit?
Yes, we are open to talk. We are looking to sell within the next six months or sooner.
Wouldn't sell for less than 12 million.
I am open to discussing, as I am looking to sell the business in the next 18 to 24 months.
I would sell both my businesses if the price is right.
I usually ignore these emails, but let's chat.
I currently own a thriving testing business incorporated in 1979. It has never had a losing year.
Are you just interested in a sale or equity partnership?
I would love to sit down and speak with you.
I would sell you the company outright, but I am not interested in continuing the day-to-day operations.
Acquirers and advisors that source off-market with Visbl
We know how to fill an acquirer's pipeline
Your deal flow is recycled
Every firm sees the same listed deals. By the time you do, 30 others already have.
We contact owners nobody has emailed, from a dedicated domain, and hand you the ones who reply.
Sourcing stops the minute you are closing
Two people, one deal in diligence, outbound goes dark for a quarter.
The infrastructure is ours and it keeps sending while you close.
Inbound and referrals come in waves
Full one quarter, empty the next, no lever to pull.
Targets pulled to your buy box and contacted on a cadence you set.
You were about to hire a head of BD
$120K plus benefits, six to twelve months to ramp, and you still own deliverability.
Same function, flat monthly, already ramped. Runs alongside your intermediaries.

Deal origination is the work of finding and opening acquisition opportunities before they reach the open market. For lower middle market buyers, the highest-yield version is direct-to-owner outreach: identifying private companies that match an investment thesis and contacting the owners directly, rather than waiting for a broker to bring a listing.
