GUIDELINES FOR REFERING COMPANIES FOR SALE

This guide will assist you to get paid for finding companies for sale. By introducing Blackmore Partners (PECO Co-Investment fund) and our Private Equity partners to parties interested in selling their companies, you will earn a commission upon the deal’s closing.  An average commission is $200K.

Blackmore is paid by Private Equity firms to work with you to undertake actions that will result in our private equity clients’ acquisition of a private company with revenues between $35M and $200M and at least $5M EBITDA.  If a company’s EBITDA is less than $5M, PE will consider it as an add-on acquisition. An add-on acquisition should be no less than $1M in EBITDA unless it is distressed.  It is our job to facilitate this process and we are paid by PE upon successful completion of an acquisition.

 

WHAT TARGETS FIT OUR REQUIEREMENTS:

• Companies located in U.S. and Canada
• Private companies with sales between $35 and $200M
• EBITDA between $5 and $10M
• Companies whose owners are willing and ready to sell
• Distressed companies
• Companies that are not represented by investment banks or brokers

WHAT YOU GET PAID

• Backmore Partners receives anywhere from 1-2% of the total deal closing price.

• Out of that you, as our connector, will receive anywhere from 5%-40% of Blackmore’s take, depending on how involved you choose to be in the process. We prefer executives who will fully manage the process and we pay them 40% of Blackmore Fee.
• If you provide a name of the target the executive who has impact on sale and set up the first call with him you get paid 5% of Blackmore Fee. 
• If you work with us getting all the necessary information such as strategy, getting all the necessary financials, continuously communicating with the seller including setting up meetings with buyers we will pay you somewhere in the 40% range of Blackmore’s fee.  You are being paid to be the account manager.
  • For example, if the total deal is $75M, Blackmore Partners would receive anywhere from $750,000 to $1.5M.  From that, you would receive anywhere from $37,500 (5% of $750,000) to $600,000 (40% of $1.5M).
