About Unity Acquisitions

Lower middle market advisory built on proprietary deal flow

Unity serves founders, investors, and operators in the $1M–$50M EBITDA corridor. Sourcing runs through CPA partnerships, M&A counsel, SBA lenders, and owner conversations — then matching and routing follow a written mandate.

Our mandate

Proprietary access and disciplined execution

The best transactions rarely reach a public marketplace. Unity’s sourcing model is relationship-first: CPA and counsel networks, SBA lender pipelines, and direct outreach to owner-operators who have never listed.

Institutional buyers — private equity, family offices, and independent sponsors — receive curated, pre-qualified opportunities before a competitive process. When several qualified mandates fit the same file, review order follows membership, then fit, inside a defined window.

How we work

Core standards

Confidentiality first

Every mandate is protected by NDA from day one. Seller identity, financials, and buyer interest stay behind authorization at each stage.

Relationship-sourced flow

CPAs, M&A attorneys, SBA lenders, and owner conversations surface proprietary opportunities for mandate matching and controlled distribution.

Defensible pricing

Businesses are framed on earnings, comparables, and operating fundamentals — not inflated broker multiples — so both sides enter with a clear number.

From first conversation

What Unity actually does

01

Write the thesis

Buyers submit sector, size, geography, and structure. Owners start with readiness and a confidential valuation conversation.

02

Source privately

Outreach stays off listing sites. The owner hears a private conversation, not a marketed teaser.

03

Qualify before names

Motivation, ownership clarity, and financial integrity are screened before a buyer sees an identifiable file.

04

Match and route

Fit is scored against live mandates. Overlap uses Priority → Intelligence → Advantage → Free, then fit inside the tier.

05

Introduce under NDA

A single-buyer presentation happens only with a written exclusivity arrangement on that opportunity.

For acquirers

Built for institutional and strategic buyers

Rather than browsing listing aggregators, buyer clients receive proprietary flow sourced from the network — pre-screened for financial integrity, ownership clarity, and viability.

  • Off-market targets — ownership verified, financials confirmed, no public exposure
  • First look before a banker process is live
  • Diligence-ready summaries before an introduction
For owners

A private path when you are ready to exit

Founder succession, recapitalization, or a full sale starts with a confidential valuation and a controlled introduction to qualified capital — not a public listing.

  • Employees, customers, and competitors stay unaware until you choose otherwise
  • Direct access to PE, family offices, strategics, and independent sponsors
  • Timeline set around the operating calendar, not an auction book
Advisory surface

What sits around the introduction

Off-market sourcing

Relationship channels plus measured owner outreach surface files that never reach public platforms. See nine sourcing channels.

Valuation and readiness

Earnings, comparables, and sector context — not a marketed asking price — frame the first serious conversation.

Strategy through close

Platform, add-on, and succession work sit inside the same routing model used on the homepage spine: mandate, source, match, route, review, pursue or pass.

For acquirers

Who sees off-market deals first?

When several qualified buy-side mandates fit the same off-market opportunity, review order follows membership.

Not a public auction. Mandate-fit scoring still applies inside each tier.

Next step

Start with a written mandate

Tell Unity the sector, size, geography, and structure you will pursue — or the transition you are privately considering. Sourcing follows that brief. Overlapping interest is routed, not shopped.
