Best way to approach other owners of similar businesses

by a searcher

2 years ago

I acquired a professional services company last year and am considering approaching others in the industry for a next adjacent acquisition.

Given that these are very closely related businesses, there are not as many of them around - so spraying them with cold email sequences does not seem to be the right approach. Any recommended case studies that show how others have approached this would be much appreciated.

Thank you

If you are on good terms with the seller and they're merrily golfing, visiting the grandkids, they may be able to put a word in for you with one of their competitive frenemies.
