Our Services
Buy-Side Deal Origination
Overview
We work with acquisitive businesses, family offices, and investors to identify, qualify, and secure high-quality off-market opportunities aligned with strategic goals.
At LTJ Partners, we act as an extension of your team — sourcing, vetting, and presenting proprietary deal flow that matches your acquisition criteria. With a sharp focus on sub-£10M opportunities, we leverage our network and market intelligence to deliver highly targeted introductions. Whether you’re consolidating a niche, entering new verticals, or investing in founder-led businesses, we ensure you’re first in line with serious, actionable deals.
Find the Right Business — Before the Market Does.
Most quality businesses never make it to market — and when they do, it’s often too late. At LTJ Partners, we help acquirers bypass the noise by sourcing private, off-market deals that align with your acquisition mandate.
We work directly with founder-led businesses considering a sale but not yet listed with brokers. These are warm, pre-qualified conversations initiated discreetly and handled professionally — giving you early access, less competition, and a smoother deal process from the start.
Whether you’re an individual buyer, search fund, or PE-backed platform, we act as your outsourced origination partner. We invest time in understanding your investment criteria, then proactively identify, qualify, and introduce businesses that match — not just on paper, but in personality, intent, and potential.

Sell-Side Exit Advisory
Overview
We help founders and business owners prepare for and execute strategic exits — from partial equity sales to full business disposals — with clarity, control, and maximum value.
Selling your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. LTJ Partners supports you every step of the way — from positioning your company for acquisition to identifying the right buyer and negotiating favourable terms. We maintain strong relationships with strategic buyers, investors, and financial sponsors actively seeking opportunities. Whether your goal is capital growth, succession, or a clean exit, we help you navigate the process with discretion and purpose.
Exit Quietly, Confidently, and on Your Terms.
Selling your business isn’t just a transaction — it’s the culmination of years of effort, risk, and sacrifice. At LTJ Partners, we support founders through that journey with a process built on trust, discretion, and outcome-driven thinking.
We don’t list businesses on public marketplaces or blast your details to dozens of unknown buyers. Instead, we work privately, one-to-one, to understand your goals, prepare your business for sale, and introduce you to serious, qualified acquirers who value what you’ve built.
From your first valuation discussion through negotiation, due diligence, legal drafting, and handover — we’re by your side. Our role is to protect your time, maximise your outcome, and make sure the deal gets done properly.
Whether you’re looking for a clean exit, partial sale, or phased handover, we help you navigate the process without stress or surprises.

Capital Introductions & Strategic Support
Overview
Support That Goes Beyond the Match.

That’s why we offer capital introductions and strategic support to ensure serious acquirers and operators are positioned to execute with confidence.
We work with a select network of capital partners, including search funds, family offices, and micro-PE firms, to help match the right opportunity with the right backing. Whether you’re raising acquisition capital, looking for a bolt-on investor, or structuring an MBO, we ensure your deal gets traction — not just attention.
And we stay involved beyond the handshake. From initial structuring to due diligence coordination, from LOI negotiation to post-completion transition, we act as your strategic partner throughout the process — keeping momentum high and pitfalls low.
