Case Studies
One qualified conversation turned into two sell-side mandates worth $8.5M combined
The challenge
Deal flow depended on referrals, and the small team had no time to find new sellers.
The outcome
We found 51 owners open to selling and set up 18 qualified conversations. One seller owned two businesses, so ABSA won two mandates worth $8.5M combined.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Will the DealFlow Engine close deals for me?
No, and that is intentional. The DealFlow Engine finds, qualifies, and selects motivated sellers who are open to exiting. Once a real opportunity is identified, calls are booked and handed to you. We bring you opportunities. You close the deal.
How many opportunities can this realistically generate?
That depends on your target market, your criteria, and how selective you want to be. Across past clients we typically see 10 to 50 qualified opportunities per month. More volume if you loosen filters. Higher quality if you tighten them.
Where do these deals actually come from?
Directly from owners. We use a multi-channel outreach system to reach business owners off-market, without brokers or intermediaries. No listings. No recycled deals.
How are opportunities qualified?
We do not pass along maybes. Every opportunity goes through a simple filter: the owner shows intent, the business fits your criteria, and screening is completed before a call is booked.
Who are you actually connecting with?
Decision-makers only. That means business owners, founders, and CEOs. Data is pulled from multiple sources and cleaned specifically for your industry and geography. No junior contacts. No gatekeepers.
What if my criteria changes after we start?
That is normal. The system is built to adapt. Depending on the model, changes are made directly by you or adjusted during strategy sessions with our team.
How long before I see results?
Setup typically takes 7 to 14 days. After that, opportunities start coming in without daily involvement, with the system running at full capacity after 21 days. Your time stays focused on conversations and decisions, not sourcing.
Do I need technical or marketing skills?
No. We handle all technical setup. You provide direction and feedback. We handle execution.
What if my investors do not like outsourcing?
That is common. But outsourcing is not a weakness. It is focus. The goal is to increase attention on what matters (closing deals) and avoid wasting LP capital on internal sourcing operations. More opportunities and tighter execution enable you to close more deals faster.
Shouldn't I wait until after my first deal closes?
That is the most common mistake. Deals fall apart all the time. Waiting leaves you with no backup options. The smartest move is building pipeline while you are closing your first deal, not after.
What if I already have a pipeline or an active deal?
That is exactly when this makes the most sense. Most pipelines dry up right before closing because all attention shifts to one deal. The DealFlow Engine runs in parallel so momentum does not stop. Many LOIs never reach closing. Backups matter.
What if the timing does not feel right?
It rarely feels perfect. Waiting usually means your pipeline stays thin. The best time to build a pipeline of deals is before you need it.
How much of my time does onboarding take?
Very little. Setup takes about a week, and we keep onboarding tight and focused so results start coming in fast. One week of setup saves months of sourcing effort.
What if I need a different type of support?
That is exactly what the strategy session is for. Book the session and we will look at your situation and tell you honestly what makes sense or if something else is a better fit. Book your strategy session now.
