Add-on target maps for PE-backed platforms

You already own brands in a territory and you're buying more of the same. An add-on map starts from the locations you own and shows the gaps: owner-operated shops in your trade, in your cities and the adjacent counties, that you don't already own, in the larger size band platforms buy.

Price$3,000 per territory · delivered within three business days once scope is confirmed and the Stripe invoice is paid · public data only

What it is

We start from the platform's owned locations, taken from its brands pages and acquisition press releases, and map where they sit. Then we screen the same trade across those cities and the adjacent counties for owner-operated shops you don't already own, in the size band platforms buy.

Every candidate gets:

  • the owner, where a public record names one
  • the city it operates from
  • estimated scale, with the source for that estimate
  • a one-line reason it's an add-on and not a platform: route density next to an owned brand, a gap you don't cover, or an edge market

Who it's for

Deal and operating teams at PE-backed platforms that already own brands in a territory and are buying more of the same trade. It's for adding shops to a footprint you have, not for finding a first company.

Searching for your first company? The searcher target lists are a separate product, built for 15–80 employee owner-operated businesses.

What you get

One territory, delivered as a PDF map and memo plus a CSV.

  1. Owned-location anchor

    Your brands and locations in the territory, with the public source for each, so the map starts from what you already own.

  2. Gap map

    Owned locations and add-on targets on one map, with each sub-market marked as density next to an owned brand, a gap with no owned brand, or an edge.

  3. 25–40 screened candidates

    Owner-operated shops in your trade and size band, each with the owner (if public), city, estimated scale with its source and the add-on reason. Competitor-owned shops are removed, and each removal is cited.

  4. Top 10

    The ten we'd look at first, ranked on published scale, fit against your footprint and a clear owner or succession signal.

  5. The CSV

    Every candidate in one file, with the source columns, ready for your CRM or pipeline sheet.
