Hi,
I came across Calder Brokerage, which is based in the Midwest and offers buy-side services. They charge a hefty fee for their services. I want to acquire a business in Southern California (LA/OC area). I wanted to find out if anyone has used their buy-side services and what the Pros and Cons may be you may be able to share.
Thanks

Hi Imran - I work at Calder so am admittedly biased. But, if you'd like to learn more about our buyside service I'm happy to discuss. redacted Here are two nice datapoints:

I’ve used Calder and they’ve found us prospects in Texas, CA, UT, etc. Also, they’ve been really helpful in introducing us to potential equity capital providers now that we’ve got a couple deals under LOI. The fees are not cheap but they credit some portion of the monthly cost toward the success fee, and the success fee is pretty market-based IMO. We still did our own proprietary sourcing but Calder accelerated our pipeline.
