US Partnerships & Licensing

Bring Offsell to the US.

Offsell is exploring partnerships with experienced business brokers, M&A advisers and established boutique firms across selected US markets.

The model

Offsell infrastructure. Local M&A expertise.

Our US model is intended to be partner-led rather than built around a large centralised advisory workforce.

Offsell provides the technology, buyer intelligence, direct buyer origination, workflow and brand infrastructure. Experienced local partners bring market knowledge, owner relationships, judgement, negotiation expertise and hands-on transaction execution.

Approach

A partner-led approach to technology-enabled M&A

Technology is changing how businesses can be researched, matched with buyers and taken to market. But successful transactions still depend on experienced people.

Offsell is being built around that combination.

Offsell provides

  • Technology-enabled M&A infrastructure
  • AI-supported buyer intelligence
  • Buyer research and matching
  • Identification of strategic and financial buyers
  • Direct buyer origination
  • Confidential outreach infrastructure
  • Seller and buyer workflow
  • Controlled information disclosure
  • Transaction tracking
  • Brand and marketing infrastructure
  • Process support

Local partners provide

  • Local market knowledge
  • Established business-owner relationships
  • Practical transaction experience
  • Seller guidance
  • Buyer meetings
  • Commercial judgement
  • Offer evaluation
  • Negotiation
  • Heads of Terms support
  • Due diligence management
  • Hands-on deal execution through completion

There is no fixed hand-off point. How responsibilities are shared can vary with the transaction and the partner.

How it fits together

Technology-led. Partner-powered.

A stronger off-market M&A process

Independence

Built for independent dealmakers

We believe experienced independent brokers and boutique M&A firms should be able to benefit from advanced technology and national buyer intelligence without giving up their independence or becoming part of a large centralised advisory organisation.

Our aim is to give capable local advisers access to a broader infrastructure while allowing them to retain the relationships, judgement and entrepreneurial approach that made their businesses successful.

Partners would remain independent businesses, working with the Offsell platform and model under an agreed partnership or licensing structure. The final structure will be agreed individually.

Fit

Who we would like to hear from

  • Independent business brokers
  • Boutique M&A advisory firms
  • Small lower-middle-market advisory practices
  • Experienced owner-managed brokerage firms
  • Independent dealmakers with a meaningful transaction record
  • Corporate finance boutiques

We are particularly interested in experienced firms that already know how to manage business owners and transactions but could benefit from stronger technology, buyer intelligence, direct origination and national infrastructure.

State licensing

Bring Offsell to your state

US expansion will be considered selectively, market by market, with experienced local partners rather than through an immediate nationwide rollout.

Territories will be considered on a state-by-state basis. Depending on the partner and market, this may be a state, multi-state or regional arrangement. No licences, territories or exclusivity have been granted, and opportunities are not available everywhere.

Strategic

Strategic partnerships

We are also open to conversations with M&A organisations and transaction technology businesses where our respective capabilities, market coverage or infrastructure could complement one another.

  • Regional collaboration
  • Technology partnerships
  • Buyer intelligence partnerships
  • Deal origination partnerships
  • Wider strategic relationships

Treated confidentially. Nothing is published.

Registering interest does not create a licence, partnership, agency, joint venture or any territorial right, and no exclusivity is offered or implied.

Selected markets only

Territories and partnerships are considered individually. Commercial terms are not published and are discussed only where there appears to be a suitable fit.
