ICON ACQUIRE

Buy a Business That is Right for You

Acquisition advisory and deal sourcing for buyers seeking quality lower middle market businesses. The best opportunities rarely hit the open market.

SHARE YOUR ACQUISITION CRITERIA

Finding the right business to buy is harder than it looks. Icon Acquire puts serious buyers in front of good companies, including ones that never hit the market. We find them, screen them, make the introductions, and run the deal with you through LOI, diligence and close.

Who Icon Acquire is for

Platform acquisitions, add-on targets, and direct investments. We source opportunities that match your thesis and facilitate introductions with vetted sellers.

Strategic Acquirers

Companies growing by acquisition. We help you find targets that add customers, capabilities, or new markets.

Acquisition entrepreneurs pursuing their first or next deal. We bring deal flow, introductions, and market intelligence to help you find the right business faster.

How Icon Acquire works

Step 1: Define Your Criteria

We work with you to define exactly what you are looking for: industry, size, geography, deal structure, and why you want to buy. That becomes your acquisition scorecard.

Step 2: Deal Sourcing

We go find companies that fit your criteria, including ones that never hit the market, through our relationships with brokers, bankers, and owners.

Step 3: LOI, Diligence and Close

We make the introductions, then run the deal with you: the letter of intent (LOI), diligence, and the work through to close.

Buy it right. Then make it run.

Before you close, we look at how the target’s systems and data really work. After, we set up AI so the business stops leaning on the last owner.

How we get paid

We walk through how we work and what it costs in the first conversation, before anything starts. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find businesses for sale?

Quality businesses are found through M&A advisor networks, industry relationships, and direct outreach. The best opportunities often sell before reaching public listing sites. Working with an advisor like Icon provides access to off-market deal flow.

What criteria should I use when evaluating an acquisition?

Key criteria include industry alignment, EBITDA quality, customer concentration, management depth, growth potential, and deal structure. We help you build a simple scorecard so you can compare targets the same way every time. Understanding EBITDA multiples is essential for evaluating acquisition targets.

Can I access off-market deals?

Yes. Many lower middle market deals happen off-market. We reach out to owners directly and use our relationships to find companies that never show up on listing sites.
