Search Plus

An experienced advisor in your corner from outreach through close.

The full DealBuff outreach engine, paired with hands-on advisory at every step that matters. Built for buyers who want an experienced advisor next to them through the deal.

Get Started

The Promise

You never make a first-acquisition decision alone.

The hard part of a deal is rarely reaching owners. It's structuring an LOI, navigating seller financing, and managing the dozen service providers a deal touches. An experienced advisor stands next to you at every decision from outreach through close.

Why Search Plus

Most searchers don't fail at sourcing. They fail at the close.

Reaching owners is solvable. Negotiating an LOI structure, navigating seller financing, and managing the dozen service providers a deal touches is harder. Search Plus adds an advisor at every decision point so you can move faster, with more confidence, when the right deal surfaces.

Capital Readiness

Review of your funding plan, equity strategy, and lender positioning so you can move quickly when a real deal surfaces.

Deal Structuring & Negotiation

Live support on LOI structure, valuation conversations, seller financing, earn-outs, and the trade-offs that shape every deal.

Due Diligence & Close

Due diligence support, plus warm introductions to vetted attorneys, accountants, lenders, and QofE providers who are responsive and used to working with searchers.

1:1 Advisor Support

A dedicated advisor in your corner. Monthly working sessions plus on-demand access when a live deal needs a sounding board, with additional reviews as deal flow demands.

Timeline

What to expect.

Real conversations don't happen on day one. Here's how the engine works in practice.

Months 1 to 3

Setup and first outreach

Infrastructure, contact lists, deliverability, copy, and multi-channel sequences go live. Outreach begins. Early reply data starts shaping iteration.

Months 4 to 6

Real conversations

Owners are engaging. Qualified conversations surface and some become real opportunities. You drive every owner call.

Months 7 to 9+

First LOIs and diligence

Live deals enter LOI and diligence. Engagement deepens to match where you are in the process.

Your Role

You stay in the operator seat. We stand next to you on the parts where experience matters.

Search Plus is built for buyers who are serious, capitalized, and want experienced judgment on the dozens of decisions a deal turns on. You drive the relationships and the final calls. We handle the outreach, the introductions, and the deal mechanics. The best results come from searchers who lean in, ask hard questions, and use the partnership.

Outreach + Advisory in One Engagement

The pipeline and the deal support live under one roof. Your sourcing team and your advisor are talking to each other constantly, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Real Operators, Not Coaches

Guidance from people who have actually closed deals, sat across the table from owners, and worked the messy middle of a transaction. Not theoretical advice.

Built Around the Hard Decisions

Designed around the decisions a deal actually turns on. LOI structure, financing trade-offs, diligence priorities, transition risk. We've sat at every one of those tables before.
