Quick Answer

CT Strategic Partners sources founder-owned businesses matched to your specific acquisition mandate , sector, size, geography, and deal structure , through sequential introductions rather than auctions. As a buy-side sourcing partner, we work exclusively with curated capital partners (private equity, family offices, search funds, strategic acquirers) who have clear investment theses and committed capital, delivering pre-qualified deal flow with no banker fees and lower overall transaction costs. Our network is strongest in home services, industrial services, niche manufacturing, healthcare services, B2B services, and specialty logistics.

CT Strategic Partners works with a curated set of capital partners across private equity, family offices, search funds, and strategic acquirers. We get paid to find founder-owned businesses that match your specific mandate — sector, size, geography, structure, owner transition.

We’re not a generic buy-side broker. We’re a sourcing partner with a defined network.

How we work

Mandate-first sourcing.

Each partner in our network has signed an agreement describing 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.

What we look for in partners

  • Clear, defensible thesis — sector and size you actually close in
  • Capital committed (or strong access to capital) and a track record of closing
  • Operator mindset — you’re not stripping businesses for parts
  • Willingness to engage founder-owners with respect and discretion
  • Mutually exclusive on individual deals, not on the relationship

What you get from working with us

  • Pre-qualified deal flow matched to your mandate — no time wasted on bad fits
  • Sequential introductions, not auction processes — you talk to the seller before any other buyer
  • Direct access to founders who haven’t engaged a broker
  • Lower deal cost — no banker fees, only our success fee at close
