Buy-Side Deal Origination
Find the acquisitions your competitors can't see
Most of the best businesses are never marketed. CJPI maps your target market, identifies the owners behind it and opens discreet conversations, so your team gets a pipeline of qualified, off-market opportunities.

The Problem
The deals you can see are the deals everyone can see.
Brokered processes are competitive, priced for the seller and shared with every other buyer. Your own team has a day job, and sourcing is the first thing to slip. Meanwhile the businesses that fit your strategy best are often owned by founders who haven’t decided to sell, and who respond to a considered, senior approach rather than a cold email from an unknown name.
We do that work for you, so you can spend your time on the deals worth pursuing.
We build your pipeline. Your deal team and advisers close it.
CJPI is not a transaction broker. We don’t negotiate price, structure the deal or run due diligence. We find and qualify the acquisition opportunities which meet your mandate and present those which fit to your deal team.
