The Process
One route to acquisition. Take all of it, or just the part you need.
Whether you've yet to start searching, or already have a target in mind, our three-step process is built to move at your pace and to work as a single engagement or three separate ones.
How We Find Opportunities
Most of the businesses worth buying were never advertised.
Owners who aren't actively selling rarely appear on any list, so we go to them directly, by LinkedIn, phone and email, opening a sale conversation before a business ever reaches the open market.
It's the same approach we use to headhunt executives through our sister brand, Cork Griffiths, applied here to sourcing businesses instead of people.
■ Direct outreach to business owners, not just live listings
■ Dealflow delivered over six to twelve months
■ First opportunities typically within days
Why Auxilium
Built for buyers.
Nobody else in the room.
Most advisers in this market act for sellers. We only ever act for you, which changes how a search is run.
Buy-side only
We never act for sellers, so there's no conflict of interest at any stage of your search.
One-stop shop
Find, fund and transact under one roof, or engage us for a single piece of the journey.
Focus and speed
A small, deliberately low-volume caseload of 10–15 clients at a time, so search and research get real attention.
Sector agnostic
The skill sits in the search and the approach, not in any one industry, so geography and sector rarely limit the brief.
