Buy-Side Advisory
We Find Businesses
for Serious Buyers.
TBF Advisory represents the buyer exclusively. We build the acquisition brief, activate our global M&A network, and present only qualified targets. No conflict. No noise.
The Process
How the Mandate Works
01
Acquisition Brief
We sit with the buyer and build a precise acquisition brief — sector, geography, enterprise value range, EBITDA floor, deal structure preferences, and any strategic exclusions. This becomes the brief we take to market.
02
Network Activation
We activate our global and domestic M&A network on behalf of the buyer. This includes direct outreach to business owners, engagement with intermediaries, and access to off-market opportunities not available through listing platforms.
03
Qualified Delivery
Every opportunity is screened against the brief before it reaches you. We present only qualified targets — with an indicative information pack and our own assessment of fit. No noise. No tyre-kickers.
04
Transaction Support
Once a target is identified, we manage NDAs, facilitate introductions, coordinate due diligence, and support negotiation through to heads of agreement. We remain engaged until the transaction closes.

Buyer Protection Guarantee
