Most dealmakers spend all their time learning how to close… but forget the part that actually creates deals — sourcing. In the past 15 years, I’ve completed over 100 acquisitions across 12 countries. Only three of those came from brokers. The rest came from a disciplined, repeatable sourcing system I’ve built — one that now consistently generates qualified, fundable, direct-to-owner opportunities every single week. I’ve written a new short guide that breaks down the exact process: How to define your target filters and build lists that actually convert. The personalised outreach method that gets a 25%+ response rate. How to read owner psychology and spot the real motivations to sell. The system I use (and teach our JV partners) to keep deal flow consistent month after month. If you want a copy, comment “sourcing strategy” below and I’ll send it to you directly. No fluff. No theory. Just the exact method that’s produced 1,000+ qualified leads and multiple closed deals this year alone.

That’s the value of four term sheets issued in the last two weeks for four deals - four different industries, a US deal, Ireland, UK and Australia. Two accepted with due diligence now under way. Two in negotiations . Term sheets are a great way to capture the core components of a deal and something that can be referred back to in the event of any disagreements later down the line. We generally present them after a formal presentation is gone through with the seller(s) that doesn’t just go through the financial and legal components of the deal but sells us a buyer (track record, future plans for the company etc). It’s a simple 4/5 page document - If anyone is interested in having a copy of the template we use like this post or comment and I’ll send it to you.

Hi all I am looking for a new legal team to assist me in my acquisition expansion. Can anybody recommend any companies they have worked alongside in the uk market. I do require professionals who have experience in assisting creative structured acquisition deals, and not just the standard type structure. I am yet to come across a team who can prove they understand and have overseen seller financing deal types and other creative structures, hence me reaching out to the community for assistance. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hi All, I'm under the full understanding that connections are a huge part in the world of M&A and have really what enabled me to purchase 2 businesses without my own money put into the deal. That being said, I'd love to connect with more people within this space. I'm based in the West Midlands of the UK. Anyone here based in the UK? If so, drop a comment below. Anyone not based in the UK, please feel free to comment too, as I love hearing what people in this industry are up to. Have a great week all. Regards Jordan

Who here is UK based? Always nice to talk to people face to face. First stage is understanding who is local?
