Deal flow for serious UK business buyers

Somewhere on five broker sites, your next acquisition just went live. Be the buyer who sees it first.

Good businesses go under offer while you're busy running your life. AutoAcquisitions sweeps BusinessesForSale, Daltons, Knightsbridge, Intelligent and Benchmark against your exact criteria every week and sends only the genuinely new matches — scored, summarised, and deduplicated against everything you've already seen. You do the buying. It does the looking.

Searching properly is a part-time job. You've already got one.

Every serious buyer knows the drill: five sites, five different search engines, hundreds of listings — and the discipline to do it again next week, and the week after. Here's what that actually costs you:

1

The hours disappear

Each source has its own categories, filters and quirks. Covering all five properly takes an evening a week — skip one, and the best listing of the month goes under offer without you ever knowing it existed.

2

You re-read the same listings

Most of what you scroll past is stock you've already rejected. The sites don't remember — so you go numb. And numb is exactly how good deals slide past.

3

Site alerts don't understand you

Keyword alerts can't apply real criteria — "£1M–£5M turnover, owner retiring, within 90 minutes of home, no wet-led hospitality". So they flood you with noise until you stop opening them.

How it works

1

Tell us your criteria

Sector, size, region, deal type, hard exclusions — captured on a 15-minute call, editable anytime at no cost.

2

We sweep, score, dedupe

Every week the system reads five UK broker sources against your criteria. Repeats never come back; near-misses stay out. Only the genuinely new and genuinely matching gets through.

3

Your Monday report lands

Each match scored, with the reason it fits, the red flags to probe, and a direct link to the listing. You enquire as yourself — the deals, relationships and negotiations are 100% yours.

Built by a buyer, not a data company

I'm Charlie. I buy UK businesses, and this is the exact system I run my own sourcing on — the same sweep, the same scoring, the same Monday report, against my own criteria, every single week.

I built it because I was losing my Sunday evenings to broker sites and still missing listings. Nobody selling data ever felt that. What you're buying isn't a scraped database — it's the tooling a working buyer depends on, pointed at your criteria instead of mine.

And if a listing ever fits us both, it still goes in your report, flagged so you know. You'll never be silently cut out of a deal.

Pricing

One good acquisition pays for decades of this. Buy-side firms charge four figures a month plus a success fee — and keep the broker relationships. Doing it yourself costs your evenings. This costs less than one hour of your accountant's time, and everything stays yours.

Questions buyers ask

Why not just set up alerts on the broker sites myself?

You can — and you'll get keyword matches, not criteria matches. Site alerts can't understand "owner-managed, £250k+ adjusted EBITDA, not London". They don't deduplicate across five sites, they don't score, and they don't tell you what to probe. This service reads every listing the way you would, so you only read the ones that deserve you.

Do you contact brokers for me?

No — and that's deliberate. Every report links to the source listing and you enquire as yourself. The deals, the relationships, and the negotiations are entirely yours. We're your researcher, not your middleman.

You buy businesses too — are we competing?

Occasionally a listing will fit us both. When it does, it still goes in your report, flagged, so you know exactly where you stand. Never being silently cut out of a deal is a written rule of how this service runs — ask about it on the call.

What if nothing matches my criteria one week?

You'll still get the report — it'll say what was scanned and that nothing new qualified. No padding, no recycled listings to look busy. A short report you can trust beats a long one you have to double-check.

Can I change my criteria?

Anytime, at no cost. Most buyers tighten their criteria after the first couple of reports once they see what the market's actually offering — that's the system working.

Is this financial advice?

No. Reports describe what's publicly listed and how it fits the criteria you gave us. All figures come from the listings and must be verified with the broker. Buying decisions are yours alone.
