Nationwide US & Canada Based

Our sweet spot is $500k-$20mm in EBITDA. We generally require engagements to have north of either $5mm in revenue OR $500k in EBITDA. We understand not all good deals fit inside a box so we occasionally make exceptions if the deal falls under our EBITDA/ revenue threshold, but exhibits high-quality characteristics.

$500K-$25M EBITDA

$500K-$25M EBITDA

Most businesses are sold as a multiple of annual EBITDA. At this end of the market, EBITDA can refer to seller's discretionary earnings or "SDE".

$5M-$150M REVENUE

$5M-$150M REVENUE

Most buy-side firms on the PrivSource platform are seeking companies with revenues in the range of $5M-$150M.

PrivSource was a game changer. Of all the sourcing tools we tried, PrivSource had the best deals, the widest range of intermediaries, and the most reasonable fee structure (no acquisition fee).

Trying to find good deals is difficult. PrivSource takes all the great deals available and consolidated them into one place and makes it easy to search for specific criteria. It makes sourcing deals extremely easy and cost-effective.

Anyone sourcing via intermediaries or non-proprietary outreach will benefit from the amount of time the platform saves you during the week. The sell-side reps I’ve dealt with (bankers/brokers/advisors) have all produced quality materials and there hasn’t been one instance ‘haggling’ for basic data.
