Quick Answer
CT Acquisitions is a buy-side sourcing firm that works with a small, vetted group of capital partners — private equity, family offices, search funds, and strategic acquirers. We accept new partners selectively based on mandate clarity, committed capital, and track record. Approved partners receive sequential, mandate-matched introductions to founder-owned businesses across home services, industrial services, niche manufacturing, healthcare services, B2B services, and specialty logistics.
We work with a small group of capital partners we have personally vetted. We do not run an open buyer list. If your mandate fits a gap in our coverage and you meet the criteria below, we’ll set up a call.
Become a Vetted Partner →Every vetted partner has signed a mandate agreement defining exactly what they’re looking for: sector, size, geography, owner transition, deal structure. When we identify a founder-owned business that fits, we make a direct, sequential introduction — not an auction.
We add partners selectively. The criteria below are not optional.
If you have a live mandate in any of these verticals, click through to see what we’re sourcing. We review every partner application within 2 business days.
31 comparison and roundup pages covering the full M&A workflow: sourcing, CRM, diligence, data rooms, modeling, closing, integration, and portfolio operations.
If you are an ETA searcher, owner-operator, or first-time buyer financing an acquisition, the SBA 7(a) loan is often the cheapest capital available. State-by-state lender rankings, qualifying criteria, and the documents you will need.
Off-market deals account for 60 to 75 percent of US small business acquisitions under $5 million in enterprise value per IBBA Market Pulse Q4 2024 and Axial Q3 2025. The buyers who close them consistently are the ones running proprietary data, direct mail, cold email, inbound content, LinkedIn, and paid ads together. Each guide below covers the channel mix that works for that specific vertical, with named tools, response rate benchmarks, and the non-obvious trick that gets buyers to sellers first.
