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.

Who We Work With:
Private Equity Firms
Founders
Family Offices
Corporate Acquirers
Trade Buyers & Entrepreneurs
Where we fit

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.

1
Market Mapping & Intelligence
We start from your acquisition strategy and build a structured map of the market: who operates in it, who owns them and which businesses fit your criteria. Real-time signals and commercial research help us prioritise the targets worth approaching first.
2
Discreet Outreach
We contact shareholders directly, on your behalf and under your agreed terms of confidentiality. The approach is relationship-first and led by a Director, so you protect your reputation and the owner's trust.
3
Strategic Fit Assessment
Before anything reaches you, we screen for commercial, cultural and leadership fit. You see considered opportunities, not a long list of names.
4
Opportunity Progression
We present qualified, highly targeted opportunities for your decision. When an owner is ready to engage, we introduce you and hand over to your deal team and advisers.
