No deal to point at yet — so here’s exactly what I put in motion.
- Seller → financed buyer When an owner is ready to sell and financing just got easier — SBA's new $10M ceiling — I put a qualified, financed buyer in the room before the listing goes wide.
- Advisor → succession-ready acquirer When an advisor has no succession plan, I connect them to acquirers who need the book of business and the relationship, not just the AUM.
Building in the open. I’m working alongside myoProcess — a vetted B2B partner trusted across $1B+ in transactions — while I route my first introductions in this lane. My first closed match replaces this paragraph.
