REV Global provides hands-on M&A advisory for middle-market acquisitions — from building your deal thesis and sourcing off-market opportunities, through due diligence, LOI drafting, negotiation, and post-acquisition integration. One team. End to end.
Most business brokers hand you a deal, collect a fee, and disappear. REV Global is different. We work as your strategic partner across every phase of the acquisition — from the first conversation with a seller to the first week as owner.
We specialize in owner-operated businesses in the lower middle market — companies with $2M–$50M in annual revenue, strong fundamentals, and transferable value. Recession-resistant industries. Businesses with recurring customers and a lack of technology — which means day-one upside.
Our edge: We bring institutional rigor — deal sourcing infrastructure, diligence frameworks, and negotiation depth — to a market that typically only gets a broker and a handshake.
A structured process that gives every deal the same institutional discipline — regardless of size.
Before searching, we help you define what you're actually looking for. We work with you to build a clear buy box — industry focus, revenue range, ownership structure, deal type, and exit horizon. This prevents wasted effort on deals that don't fit and positions you to move fast when the right one appears.
The best deals never hit the open market. REV Global sources opportunities through direct owner outreach, intermediary relationships, industry-specific broker networks, and our proprietary deal pipeline. We target businesses that are recession-resistant, under-digitized, and owner-ready to transition — creating first-mover access before competition enters.
Diligence is where deals are won or lost. We run a comprehensive review across three tracks — financial (QoE, EBITDA normalization, AR aging, customer concentration), operational (owner dependency, key employee risk, systems & processes), and commercial (market position, customer contracts, competitive moat). Our 50-point diligence checklist ensures nothing surprises you at closing.
The Letter of Intent sets the terms, tone, and trajectory of the deal. We draft LOIs that protect your downside while keeping the seller engaged — structuring price, earnout provisions, exclusivity, due diligence conditions, and transition support requirements. A well-written LOI is your first negotiation win.
We negotiate alongside you — not just on price, but on structure. That means pushing for seller carryback to align incentives, identifying AR aging and deferred capex as leverage, stress-testing working capital adjustments, and designing earnout structures that reflect real operational risk. The goal is a deal that's right, not just done.
The deal closes. Now the real work starts. REV Global provides a structured 100-day integration blueprint — covering team communication, operational continuity, technology gaps, and early value creation initiatives. We also deploy AI-powered tools across sales, operations, and marketing to compress the time between acquisition and material EBITDA improvement.
Concrete outputs — not consulting decks — at each phase of your acquisition.
A written acquisition strategy that defines what you're buying, why, and how — so every deal evaluation starts from an anchored position.
Active deal flow delivered through our outreach systems and network — with scored summaries so you spend time on qualified opportunities only.
A structured findings report across financial, operational, and commercial tracks — with clear risk flags, adjustment recommendations, and go/no-go guidance.
A professionally drafted LOI that anchors your offer, defines the deal structure, and creates the leverage you need going into final negotiations.
Active advisory through every negotiation conversation — we identify leverage, coach responses, and help you close at terms that reflect the true risk of the deal.
A 100-day post-close operational roadmap — covering leadership communication, system consolidation, quick-win value creation, and AI infrastructure deployment.
A broker brings you a deal and a fee. We bring you a partner who stays in the room until you're the owner.
