Eighteen hundred closings and counting.

The volume record-holder of middle-market sell-side M&A: 1,800 closed transactions announced in early 2026, top-two national league-table rankings five years running, and a buyer network it reports at over 20,000 buyers, fed by the exit-planning conferences it runs for owners.

## At a Glance

Get into the buyer network for the flow; the fourth model on this shelf is the education-fed volume machine, and it closes.

## What It Costs

Seller-side engagement and success fees, not published; owners typically enter through its exit-planning conferences.

## Best For

Buyers who want steady represented deal flow at and below the middle market, sourced from owners who entered through education rather than auction fever

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Eighteen hundred closings is the deepest published record on this shelf
- Pro: The conference funnel reaches owners other processes never touch
- Pro: A buyer network it reports at over 20,000 means processes run with real distribution
- Con: The education-to-engagement funnel draws criticism for its selling pressure
- Con: Engagement fees are unpublished, and owner economics shape what reaches market
- Con: Volume at this scale means variance in banker attention per deal

## What Searchers Say

The league-table fixture at the size range just above Main Street; buyer-side experiences track the assigned banker more than the brand.
