How do I access your deal flow?

Register your acquisition criteria — sector, size, geography, and deal type — by emailing info@neoadvisory.ai. We review every submission and match buyers with pre-qualified opportunities that meet their thesis.

Is there a fee for buyers?

No. Buyers pay no fee to receive or review opportunities. Our sell-side engagements are compensated by the seller, which is the standard structure in lower-middle-market M&A and keeps our duty to the seller unambiguous.

What types of businesses do you represent?

Founder-led companies between $5M and $50M in enterprise value, concentrated in the automotive aftermarket — collision repair, car wash, oil change, auto parts — and in business services. Most are owner-operated, profitable, and coming to market for the first time, which means they are typically less prepared and less picked-over than assets that have already run a broad process.

What buyers should expect from a first-time seller

Financials that need normalizing rather than restating, real customer relationships held personally by the owner, and a transition period that matters more than it would with an institutional seller. These are not defects; they are the reason the asset is available at a single-asset multiple rather than a platform one.

Buyers who move well in this market tend to be specific about their thesis, quick to give a clear yes or no, and realistic about post-close involvement from the founder. Those three things matter more to a founder-seller than headline price alone, and they are frequently what decides a competitive situation.

Where the value is in a platform build

The gap between what a single asset trades for and what a platform trades for is the central economics of a roll-up, and it varies more by sector than most buyers assume. Our cross-sector research measures it directly — roughly two turns of EBITDA in car wash against eight in home services — with the structural reasons for the spread.

Sector detail: car wash, collision and repair, gas and convenience, and residential home services.

Our Focus

Transactions between $5M and $50M enterprise value in the automotive aftermarket and business services sectors. We know the buyers and sellers in this space and maintain long-term relationships with both sides of the market.
