Does anyone have any tips and tricks to efficiently build lists of companies that might make good acquisitions? I'm struggling to do this quickly...takes me 10 mins per contact the way I'm doing it now. Please share any tips that work for you

I really appreciate your reply Anthony! I'm looking for established Canadian companies with an EBITDA between $500k-$5M. Sector/industry agnostic. History of growing revenues. No turn arounds. CAPEX light. Looking to buy 5 companies in 2024 and have the capital ready to move fast.

As Luke mentioned, you can get a list of all the companies in the US/Canada available but what currently checks the boxes for "good acquisition"? And what works for you? Geography/industry/size/sector/type? Essentially, are you looking for a detailed list of as many companies as possible, or niched down to those that you may find most interesting? Happy to chat through some options.
