You know what you want and can't find it
You've spent months on listing sites and nothing fits. We go looking among companies that aren't advertised.
Buy-side services
We find the company for you and negotiate alongside you until signing.
Off-market companies, prior screening, valuation and offer. You decide. We do the legwork and run the negotiation.

What gets in the way
Searching for a company on your own gets stuck for five reasons.
That's why there's someone who searches for you.
What holds you back todayWith Relevo Familiar
Searching for a company eats up time you don't have.
We build the long list and we talk to the owners.
Everyone has already seen the ones on the listing sites.
We reach companies that aren't for sale.
You don't know if the price is reasonable.
We value each company with three methods.
The in-depth review scares you.
We guide you through the due diligence until signing.
Paying a lot up front.
The fixed fee is deducted from the success fee if you buy with us.
Who it's for
For people who already know what they want to buy.
Case 2
You've found the company and don't know how to close
You're already talking to the owner. What's missing is valuing, making an offer and negotiating without losing the deal or overpaying.
Case 3
Your company grows by buying
You want to add a competitor or a supplier. Your team keeps running the day to day and we handle the purchase.
It's not for you yet if
- You don't know yet if you want to buy. Start with Learn to buy.
- You're looking for premises to take over or a franchise.
Versus the alternatives
What changes when someone searches for you.
Searching alone works if you have time. Listing sites show what's already advertised. We go after the rest.

How we work
Five steps, from thesis to signing.
Each step has a deliverable you see and approve. No surprises at the end.
Company search
1Thesis
We set the sector, size, location and buying capacity. You validate it with Toño before anyone lifts a finger.
2Long list
We build the universe of companies that fit and rank it by fit and likelihood of sale.
3Contact
We call the owners one by one, discreetly. We filter for those with real interest in talking.
Company acquisition
4Analysis
We read the accounts, adjust the EBITDA, the real operating profit, and set a value range.
5Offer and closing
We draft the offer, negotiate terms and coordinate the prior review until signing before a notary.
From 250 to 6. This is what a search looks like in week 6.
Illustrative example. Each thesis produces a different funnel.

Who you buy with
At the table sits someone who has bought and sold SMEs.
Toño Álvarez has spent ten years buying and selling SMEs, with more than 30 deals. He validates your thesis before anyone lifts a finger and steps in for the offer and the final negotiation. An analyst you talk to every week handles the day to day.
Two services
Choose based on where you are.
One ends with companies identified. The other starts when you already have the company and ends at signing.

Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask on the first call.
A fixed fee for the search or for the purchase engagement, and a success fee only if you buy. We give you the figure in writing after the first call.
You don't pay the success fee. The fixed fee covers the legwork done, which is yours: thesis, lists and contacts.
