Proprietary deal flow for acquirersmandate matching & priority routing
A defensible valuation is earnings, risk, market comparables, and the intangible assets a willing buyer would actually pay for — not an asking price designed to survive an auction.
Sellers often arrive with a number they need. Buyers arrive with a multiple they will not exceed. Unity’s job is to put a realistic range on the table first — so neither side wastes a diligence cycle on a fantasy price.
The same work helps acquirers judging a file. If the multiple is not defensible on earnings and comparables, say so before an LOI. See how buyers receive flow on the off-market sourcing page.
Diligence will recompute the value. If the file cannot support the ask, the conversation ends — often without a counter.
Even interested buyers slow down when the math does not close. Trust erodes at the moment it is most expensive.
Lenders and capital partners underwrite earnings, not hope. An inflated range can kill the capital stack.
Normalized EBITDA, add-backs that survive diligence, and concentration risk in customers or suppliers.
What similar companies actually trade at in this corridor — and which structures (earnout, seller paper, recap) the earnings can support.
Management depth, reporting, and whether the company can run through a process without becoming the process.
Owners leave with a number they can defend. Buyers leave knowing whether the file is priced for a private conversation or an auction fight.
No listing. No public exposure. The valuation is yours to keep. If a private process later makes sense, the first conversation is already done.
For acquirers
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.
