Share your acquisition criteriaWorking with C3
Start with what
you actually want to buy.
We work with private equity firms, strategic acquirers, and other qualified capital partners pursuing platform investments and add-on acquisitions.
We learn your criteria, your approach to working with owners, and how you evaluate opportunities. When a business appears to fit, we discuss a potential introduction with the owner before sharing information.
Our introductions are informed by more than size and sector. The owner’s desired role, liquidity goals, timeline, and interest in retaining equity matter too.
A good introduction gives both sides a reason to keep talking.
C3 is compensated by the buyer when a transaction closes. We agree on the fee arrangement before making a covered introduction.
