Keep sourcing while you work the deal.

We research your market, call owners and book qualified meetings, so owner conversations keep coming while you evaluate the business in front of you.

A prepared introduction to your search

The rep explains why you want to meet.

Before we call, we learn who you are, what you want to acquire and why a business would interest you. We prepare the rep to explain your search, ask relevant questions and suggest a useful next conversation with you.

Coseek runs the research, contact details, calling and coaching. You stay close to the criteria and take the owner meetings.

What we prepare with you

Introducing your search

Your background
The experience you bring and how you intend to run the business.
The reason for calling
The services, size, geography and ownership that connect this business to your search.
The next conversation
What the meeting should cover and which questions should come directly to you.

Who we call

Reach owners who care who takes over.

A searcher offers something a large group cannot: one person who will buy the business and run it. The rep leads with that, then qualifies the fit.

Example: commercial services

Find out who holds the customer relationships.

For a searcher buying a B2B services firm, we call owners and establish whether key accounts depend on the founder or on the team.

“If you were away for a month, who would your biggest customers call?”

Example: specialist distribution

Test how loyal the customer base is.

For a searcher looking at niche distributors, we call founder-owners about customer tenure and what keeps accounts coming back.

“Which of your customers have been with you the longest, and why do they stay?”

Example: trade contractor

Check how full the order book is.

For a searcher focused on trades, we call owners about how far ahead work is booked and where it comes from.

“How far ahead is your work booked at the moment?”

Owner meeting handoff

Take the meeting knowing why the owner said yes.

Each handoff explains why the business fits, what the owner shared and why they agreed to meet. You develop the relationship, assess the business and handle the acquisition with your advisers. Our calling fits around your own calls, broker conversations and investor introductions.

Why it fits

The services, size, geography and ownership that match your criteria.

What the owner shared

Their situation, timing and the questions they raised on the call.

Your existing relationships

We agree which companies Coseek covers and update the list as your own conversations develop.

Questions

How the calling fits into your search.

Want to hear how we open with owners? Ask on a call.

Do I need a defined search thesis first?

You need enough direction to tell a suitable acquisition from a broad list. We work through sector, size, geography, ownership and exclusions, using examples of businesses you would want to buy.

How will the rep introduce my search?

We prepare the rep on your background, acquisition goals and the businesses you want to reach, and agree what can be shared and which questions should come to you. You take the owner relationship forward.

Can I keep making my own calls?

Yes. We agree which businesses Coseek covers and which you keep. Tell us when you or your advisers start a relationship and we take it off the calling list.

What if I am busy evaluating an acquisition?

We plan calling around the owner meetings you can take. Tell us when deal work changes your availability and we adjust the scope, so the search keeps moving without swamping your calendar.

Can you help with valuation, financing or diligence?

Coseek researches the market, reaches owners and qualifies meetings. You and your advisers handle valuation, financing, diligence and negotiation, with everything the owner shared on the call in hand.
