Advisory Service
Deal Sourcing
Proactive deal sourcing for acquirers. Access to opportunities outside the open market.
What we do
Deal Sourcing: what's actually involved.
Access to deal flow is the constraint on most acquisition programs. We've spent 25 years building relationships with founders who do not respond to bank pitches but will take our call. Deal sourcing engagements give acquirers access to those opportunities.
Sourcing is where advisors earn their keep with sponsors; why private equity firms work with M&A advisors explains the economics. Once a target is signed, our post-merger integration work picks up where sourcing leaves off.

Frequently asked
The questions buyers and sellers ask first.
Does 733Park represent buyers?
Yes. Buy-side advisory is roughly a third of our practice. We work with strategic acquirers and PE platforms on proprietary target sourcing, outreach, diligence support, and deal structuring.
How does a buy-side engagement start?
With a conversation about your acquisition criteria: sectors, size, geography, and what you will and will not buy. From there we scope the mandate, agree terms in writing in the engagement letter, and begin sourcing. You deal directly with Lane Gordon throughout.
How long does a buy-side search take?
Search timelines depend on category breadth and target criteria. Most mandates produce qualified targets within 30 to 60 days and a closed transaction within six to twelve months.
Do you work on roll-up programs?
Yes. We support PE platforms and strategic acquirers running multi-target roll-up programs in payments, fintech, and vertical SaaS. Repeated engagements typically receive program-level fee structures.
Thinking about a deal? Let's talk before you do anything irreversible.
Whether you are 18 months from an exit or already have a buyer at the door, the first conversation is free, confidential, and short.
