The businesses worth buying are not listed.
Verify your funding once. Tell us what you are looking for. We approach owners directly across UK company data — and the deal runs in a room where every term is visible to both sides.
The buyer’s problem
Quality deal flow is invisible.
Everything worth having is off-market, and searching means manual work through listings that are mostly stale. Meanwhile the seller cannot tell you apart from the tyre-kickers, so the good ones stay closed.
Adverse selection
The best businesses move quietly. What sits on a board has usually been declined by someone else first.
Wasted weeks
Evenings spent on NDAs and information packs for businesses that were never a real fit.
No visibility once you are in
You negotiate through an intermediary who is the only person holding the whole picture.
Origination
We do not wait for listings. We generate them.
Tell Marcus what you are looking for — sector, size, region, what you will not touch. That mandate becomes a targeted search across UK company data, qualified, and approached directly.
An owner who was not thinking about selling has a conversation, and enters a Deal Room with you already funded and waiting.
Funding verification is the price of that access. It is also the reason owners take the call.
The Deal Room
You see exactly what the seller sees.
Every term is tracked separately: consideration, structure, timing, warranties, employees, property, earn-out, exclusivity, completion conditions. Red is open, amber is countered, green means both of you agreed the same figure.
The MOU assembles itself as terms go green, with unagreed terms shown as visible gaps. No surprises arriving by email at the end.
Your caucus is private. The seller can never see it — enforced at the database, not by policy.

FAQs
Buyer questions, answered.
What does it cost a buyer?
Registering a mandate and receiving anonymised teasers are free, and buyers never pay a success fee — the 2% is the seller's, half on signing and half when the funds transfer. Paid plans add reach: Essential at £89 a month for full AI matching and Deal Room access, Premium at £299 a month for AI-powered outreach campaigns that approach owners directly. Enterprise pricing is custom.
Why do I have to verify funding?
Because sellers will not open their business to someone who cannot close. Verification is what makes owners willing to engage, and it is why the deal flow here is worth your time.
Where do the opportunities come from?
Some are listed with us. Many are not: you tell Marcus what you are looking for, and that becomes a targeted search across UK company data, qualified and approached directly. Owners who were not thinking about selling enter a Deal Room with you already funded and waiting.
What information do I get, and when?
Documents sit in four tiers keyed to the state of the deal. An anonymised summary before NDA. Identity and accounts after. Full financials at heads of terms. The complete due diligence pack only at exclusivity. Every view is watermarked with your name and logged.
Can the seller see my private notes?
No. Each party has a caucus the other side can never see, enforced at the database rather than by policy. What you say to Marcus in your caucus stays there.
Is Marcus on my side?
Marcus is neutral between buyer and seller and openly aligned with the deal completing. He keeps the term agenda moving, turns positions into written proposals and identifies which gaps are bridgeable. He never originates a figure — every number comes from the valuation engine or from a position one of you put on the table.
Can I use my own advisers?
Yes. We work alongside your corporate finance, legal and tax advisers throughout. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice.
