The lower middle market is structurally underserved
Deal volume is growing, but execution capacity isn't. The firms that solve this will capture outsized deal flow.
3–6 DEALS PER YEAR
Typical capacity for a 1–5 person firm. 80% of lower middle market businesses sell without an advisor — execution capacity, not demand, is the bottleneck.
85% ANALYST TURNOVER
Average rotation within two years. Every cycle resets institutional knowledge, templates, and momentum. Recruiting never stops.
400+ HOURS PER DEAL
Financial model, CIM, buyer research, outreach. 10–13 weeks of manual analyst work before the first conversation with a buyer.
Capacity — not demand — caps how much a firm can grow. The lower middle market doesn't lack deals; it lacks the hours to execute them.
