UK Acquisition Intelligence
Find businesses before
they're for sale.
ExitLeads scores 1.8 million UK companies for succession risk — surfacing acquisition targets before they reach brokers, marketplaces, or any other buyer.
The problem with finding businesses to buy
By the time a business appears on Daltons or BusinessesForSale, it's already too late. The price reflects months of preparation. Three other buyers are already in due diligence. The owner's been coached to hold firm.
The best acquisitions happen before all of that. When the owner hasn't listed yet. When you're the only one who's called. When the price is still a conversation, not a brochure figure.
The question is: how do you find those businesses?
