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 Group discusses those points with buyers looking to acquire, then introduces opportunities that appear to fit. GLZR does not confirm that funding is in place, 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.
Without them, a name and a teaser are not a fit. With them, GLZR can tell an owner whether a conversation is worth having.
Industries and locations stop a search that is really three searches. Business size, said as the earnings you can discuss, stops a company that is too small or too large for the capital you have. Acquisition criteria are the conditions that would make an introduction a waste of the owner’s time if they are missing: owner transition, customer concentration, or a geography you will not travel to.
Capital availability is how a purchase would be funded: cash, a loan, a seller note, or a mix. Saying it out loud is not proof of funds. Decision-making is who can say yes, and on what timetable. If a partner, a board or a family office must agree, the owner should know that before sharing more than an initial description.
GLZR then agrees what a qualifying introduction is, and the confidentiality and success-fee terms, in the buyer agreement. 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.

Note for the call
Buyer note ready.
I am looking to buy a business. Industries: Owner-operated companies in a named industry Locations: United States, Canada or Latin America Business size: Earnings range you can discuss What must be true: The conditions that make an introduction useful. Funding: Cash, a loan, a seller note, or a mix. Not confirmed. Who decides: Who can say yes, and on what timetable This is an initial conversation. It is not a commitment to buy.
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?
Industries, locations, business size, the conditions that make an introduction useful, how a purchase would be funded, and who can say yes. The note above formats that. Booking the call carries it into the form.
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.
