How to Source Like a Private Equity Pro

So you’ve decided:
2025 is the year you stop talking about buying a business and actually do it.

Here’s the thing—most people get stuck before they even start.
Not because they don’t have the money.
Not because they don’t know how to run a business.

They get stuck because they don’t know where to find good deals.

In private equity, deal sourcing is a trained skill. The good news? You can copy the playbook—without a Wall Street badge.

Here are 3 proven sourcing channels to start using this week:

1️⃣ Business Listing Platforms

Think of these as MLS for small businesses. The two big categories:

• Brick & Mortar / Service Businesses → BizBuySell, BizQuest, LoopNet

• Online Businesses → Flippa, MicroAcquire, Empire Flippers

Why they work:
Transparency — You see asking price, cash flow (SDE/EBITDA), assets included, and seller notes.
Volume — Thousands of listings across industries, geographies, and price points.
Beginner-Friendly — Brokers list here specifically to find first-time buyers.

Tactical Tip:
Set up saved searches with filters (industry, cash flow range, SBA-eligible). New deals will hit your inbox daily—be the first to reach out. In this game, speed kills.
