    Why We Exist

    Fixing what traditional brokers get wrong

    DealFlowAgent was built because too many business owners were getting a rushed, underprepared sale process. We exist to change that. Every business owner we work with gets a proper advisory process — valuation, buyer outreach, negotiation, and close — typically completed in 12 weeks.

    We operate one of the largest active buyer networks in the UK and US lower mid-market, with over 12,000 registered acquirers on our platform. We're backed by Long Journey Ventures — the same investors behind early-stage rounds in Uber, Figma, and others.

    When you introduce a business owner to us, you're not sending them to a cold sales funnel. You're connecting them with a team that will treat their life's work with the seriousness it deserves.

    Our Partners

    Who typically partners with us?

    PE Fund Managers & Acquirers

    You speak to hundreds of business owners a year. The ones outside your mandate still deserve a great outcome. We'll handle them with the same discretion you'd expect.

    Lawyers & Solicitors

    You're often the first person a business owner calls when they're thinking about a sale. We make sure that conversation ends well for them.

    Accountants & Financial Advisors

    Your clients trust your judgement. When they're ready to sell, we want to be the firm you're comfortable recommending.

    Founders & Operators

    You know other business owners. If someone in your network is thinking about their next chapter, an introduction takes five minutes.

    How It Works

    Simple by design.

    STEP 01

    Make an introduction

    Connect us with a business owner considering a sale, or mention us publicly in your network. A WhatsApp message, an email intro, or a conversation is all it takes.

    STEP 02

    We run the process

    Full advisory: valuation, buyer outreach, negotiation, close. Our average sale process takes 12 weeks. The business owner gets a proper, institutional-quality process.

    STEP 03

    You get recognised

    Once the deal completes, your referral fee is paid. No paperwork until then. No chasing. No complexity.

    Referral Fees

    What's in it for you.

    Ambient Referral

    You mention us in a WhatsApp group, a LinkedIn post, a conversation. The business owner finds us, signs up, and mentions your name.

    20%of our success fee

    Direct Introduction

    You make a personal, direct introduction — connecting us specifically to a business owner you know.

    On a typical engagement, a referral fee is worth £15,000–£50,000 depending on deal size. We'll always be transparent about the number before you commit to anything.

    Proof of Concept

    One Post Generated Over £1.7M in Pipeline Revenue

    Timothy Armoo is a successful founder who sold his company, FanBytes, for eight figures. He has a massive following on LinkedIn and a deep network of founders.

    When Timothy made one post about his partnership with DealFlowAgent, something remarkable happened:

    That single post generated over £1,700,000 in qualified pipeline revenue for DealFlowAgent.

    How? Because Timothy's network trusted his recommendation. His audience knew he'd been through an exit himself. His credibility was the catalyst.

    Timothy's potential earnings from that one post could exceed £100,000 as those deals close.

    This is the power of combining a trusted network with a compelling opportunity. You don't need 700k followers like Timothy. You just need a genuine network of business owners who trust your recommendations.

    The Key Insight

    One warm introduction could earn you more than a typical annual salary. If you refer just 2-3 deals a year, you could generate a six-figure income stream.
