Aligned Profit is a buy-side deal sourcing firm for funded buyers in the lower middle market and Main Street. We work almost exclusively with independent sponsors, funded searchers, family offices, and boutique PE.

We bring you the rare, ready, off-market business that fits your buy box. Profitable. Clean books. A seller with realistic expectations who's ready to transact but isn't running a process yet.

Since 2023, we've generated $130M+ in deal value for clients across manufacturing, healthcare, dental, trades, and specialty services. Three to five fit-the-box opportunities every month, sourced before anyone else knows they're moving.

How it works. We call this The Aligned Profit Way.

The list. Your buy box, run against millions of business records using fifteen data points plus intent signals from public filings, lease records, hiring patterns, and ownership history.

The outreach. Coordinated sequences across email, mail, phone, and social. Every message references research about why the owner could be a good fit for your mandate. Owners delete merge-field pitches on sight. Ours doesn't read that way because it isn't written that way.

The follow-up. When an owner replies, they get a real M&A operator on the call. Not an analyst. We stay useful across the six to eighteen months between "interested" and "ready."

A few things that make this work differently.

One buy box per market. We take one client per industry sub-segment, geography, and deal-size range at a time. The owners we surface aren't shopped to anyone else.

The Full Buy Box Guarantee. Coverage, touches, and timeline are written into the contract. If we miss them, the retainer comes back.

Recent closes.
