Buyer Layers

A named institution's criteria, encoded as an overlay.

Your base certificate is buyer-agnostic. A buyer layer takes one institution's actual screening criteria and checks you against it — so you can see exactly where you stand with a specific buyer, on your terms.

Overlay on your base certificate Consent per institution

The mechanism

One base. Different lenses.

Every institution screens differently. Rather than guess, a buyer layer encodes a specific institution's real criteria and runs your base certificate through it. You get a plain eligibility view — what fits, what gaps remain for that buyer — before a single conversation.

  1. 1

    Base certificate

    You hold an evidence-backed, advisor-signed base certificate.

  2. 2

    Institution criteria

    We encode a named institution's actual screening rules as an overlay.

  3. 3

    Eligibility view

    Your certificate is checked against that overlay — with your consent.

  4. 4

    You decide

    Only if the fit is worth it do you choose to be introduced.

Buyer archetypes

Four kinds of buyer. Four ways they screen.

[PLACEHOLDER 1.3] The Phase 1 archetype will be given visual priority once the admitted buyer types are settled.

Operational upside

Buyers who improve margins and systems post-close. They screen hardest on operational independence and repeatable delivery.

Strategic fit

Buyers acquiring for capability or product fit. They weigh how cleanly the business integrates and what is genuinely transferable.

Market entry

Buyers using an acquisition to enter a segment or region. They focus on durable demand and the credibility of the growth story.

Consolidators / roll-ups

Buyers assembling many businesses. They prize clean legal standing and diligence readiness so each add-on closes fast.

Are you prepping me for the buyer's benefit?

No. You are the seller and you control disclosure. Here is what is never shared without your explicit, per-institution consent:

  • Your identity, until you consent to a specific institution seeing it
  • Your documents or raw evidence — only the eligibility result you approve
  • Anything with a second institution; consent is granted one buyer at a time
  • Your participation itself — a layer stays private until you activate it

For institutions

Pre-qualified, evidence-verified deal flow.

A buyer layer would let your institution encode its own screening criteria and receive businesses already checked against them — evidence verified, gaps visible, and consent handled. You would shape the inbound pipeline instead of sifting it.

No buyer is named or listed until an agreement is signed. All acceptance language on this site is future-tense by design.
