Hi Derrick — I'm from Zimbabwe, did M&A banking then growth equity at a European fund. Now running proprietary outreach to UK business owners. Put together a register of 322 UK companies open to sale — thought it might be relevant for MBT.

Hi Derrick — I'm from Zimbabwe, ended up doing growth equity for a European fund. Different path to acquiring owner businesses, but close enough that we're probably looking at similar businesses. I run proprietary deal origination for funds like yours across UK owner-managed businesses. Off the back of 300+ direct conversations with owners across 10 sectors, I've put together a password-protected register of 322 companies open to sale. Only sharing it with a handful of funds, and figured you may want a look. Want me to send it across? — Russ searchloop.ai linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
Hi Derrick — similar-ish background. Though, I'm from Zim and did M&A then growth equity in London — not too different from acquiring owner businesses. Now I build proprietary origination systems for funds like yours across fragmented UK businesses. Over the past 6 months, one of my systems surfaced 300+ off-market conversations with owners across 10 sectors. I've put them all together — 322 UK companies open to sale. Here's the link — sample.searchloop.ai Want a quick call? I can walk through how I got this and share some of the actual names. — Russ linkedin.com/in/russellt23 PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
Hi Derrick — in case this got buried. A bit more detail: I've built proprietary deal origination infrastructure for 20+ search funds and PE groups. Bespoke software that connects a system of record with research agents, scraping, thesis-matching, and multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn, email on private IPs, WhatsApp). All to get qualified replies. The 322-company UK register is one output of the pipeline. Here's the link — sample.searchloop.ai Want a quick call? I can walk through how I built this and share some of the actual names. — Russ PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
Hi Derrick — last nudge. 322 UK companies open to sale, mapped from 300+ direct owner conversations. 10 sectors — you pick. sample.searchloop.ai Want a quick call? Happy to walk through how I got this and share some names. — Russ PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
Derrick — going to assume the timing's off. I'll leave it there. Link's sample.searchloop.ai if you ever want it — always up for a quick call. — Russ PS: if this isn't relevant, reply no and I'll leave you in peace. might even go for a walk.
