Decide this before you ask for an introduction.
In brief
A useful introduction needs industries, locations, business size, acquisition criteria, how a purchase would be funded, and who decides.
GLZR discusses those points with buyers, then introduces opportunities that appear to fit. It does not confirm funding, complete due diligence, or supply the purchase capital. The buyer pays an agreed success fee when an introduced acquisition closes. Nothing is due for the conversation.
Before the call
Six decisions make an introduction usable.
Industries, locations, business size, acquisition criteria, funding, and who decides. Without them, a name and a teaser are not a fit.
- Industries. Which kinds of business you want. More than one industry is more than one search.
- Locations. Where you want to buy, across the United States, Canada and Latin America.
- Business size. The earnings you can discuss. This stops a company that is too small or too large for the capital you have.
- Acquisition criteria. What would waste the owner’s time if it is missing: owner transition, customer concentration, or a geography you will not travel to.
- Funding. How a purchase would be funded: cash, a loan, a seller note, or a mix. Saying it is not proof of funds.
- Who decides. If a partner, a board or a family office must agree, the owner should know that before sharing more than an initial description.
The buyer agreement sets what a qualifying introduction is, and the confidentiality and success-fee terms. Those terms are not a public price list. Off-market sourcing is part of the work. A qualifying brokered or banked opportunity can also be introduced where that agreement permits it. Not every opportunity is exclusive, proprietary, unlisted or new to the buyer.

Capital
Funding is discussed. It is not approved here.
GLZR does not supply acquisition capital and does not tell a lender to proceed. In the United States, the Small Business Administration lists changes of ownership, complete or partial, among the uses of a 7(a) loan, and sets the maximum 7(a) loan amount at $5 million. Eligibility depends on the business, its credit and where it operates. The lender makes that decision.

The acquisition calculator applies 2026 market multiples and tests coverage, cash flow and SBA 7(a) parameters as an educational estimate. It is not financing approval and not underwriting. A 7(a) loan is a United States program. Local rules for the United States, Canada and Latin America are on those pages. Country-adjusted multiples are a separate estimate, not a local loan approval.
Price
A multiple is a market reading, not an offer.
In Q2 2026, IBBA and M&A Source advisors reported 2.0x to 3.1x seller’s discretionary earnings for businesses valued under $2 million, and 4.0x to 5.8x EBITDA from $2 million to $50 million. The highlights do not state whether these are medians or means. They describe transactions those advisors reported. They are not the price of a company you have not seen, and an introduction is not a valuation.

General information, not legal, tax or investment advice. GLZR handles sourcing, initial qualification and introductions. It does not provide a formal valuation, financing approval or underwriting.
After you book
The call agrees what a qualifying introduction is.
GLZR uses the six decisions to see which owners are worth an introduction, and tells you when an opportunity does not appear to fit. Where there is a potential fit, the parties are introduced. You, the seller and your advisors then handle underwriting, formal valuation, due diligence, financing, documents and closing. Speaking with both sides does not mean GLZR formally represents both.
Our fee is paid by the buyer when an introduced acquisition closes, under agreed terms. No retainers or pay-per-lead charges. Nothing is due for a conversation, or for an introduction that does not close. The amount, and what counts as a qualifying introduction, stay in the individual agreement.
Owners who do not want a sale discussed in public start at a confidential sale. The sequence itself is on how introductions work.
Questions
What buyers ask before the first call.
What should I have ready before the first call?
Who is buying, the earnings range, where you want to buy, the industries, and when you want to see opportunities. Searchers, sponsors and individual buyers also say how a purchase would be funded. Submit the note, then choose a time. The note is sent even if you do not book.
Does GLZR confirm that I can fund a purchase?
No. Capital is discussed so an introduction is not made to an owner on a false premise. Confirmation of cash, a loan commitment or investor approval is your work, and your lender’s.
Can a U.S. buyer use an SBA 7(a) loan to buy a business?
The SBA lists changes of ownership, complete or partial, as a use of a 7(a) loan, with a maximum loan amount of $5 million. A lender decides eligibility. GLZR does not approve the loan. The acquisition calculator is an educational test of the published parameters, not an approval.
Is every opportunity off-market or exclusive?
No. Off-market sourcing is part of the work. Qualifying brokered or banked opportunities may be introduced where your agreement permits it. An introduction is not a statement that the opportunity is exclusive or new to you.
Who pays GLZR, and when?
Our fee is paid by the buyer when an introduced acquisition closes, under agreed terms. No retainers or pay-per-lead charges. Sellers are not charged GLZR’s sourcing and introduction fee. Other costs of a transaction are separate.
Does booking a call oblige me to buy?
No. A conversation is not an offer. You are under no obligation to pursue a company that has been introduced.
