Private Equity Tuck-In Origination
A Dedicated Buy-and-Build Engine for Your Platform Companies
Consistent value creation in private equity depends on executing the right tuck-in acquisitions — early, discreetly, and with strategic precision.
Acqius provides private equity firms with an exclusive, subscription-based tuck-in origination service, built specifically to support existing platform portfolios.
What We Do
Through our proprietary M&A-as-a-Service (MaaS) – FuturePath™ framework, we act as an extension of your investment and portfolio teams, continuously sourcing and qualifying bolt-on and tuck-in opportunities aligned to your platforms’ growth strategies.
This is not database access or passive deal alerts. It is active, thesis-driven origination.
How It Works
Define the Acquisition Thesis
We align on sector focus, adjacencies, geography, scale and strategic rationale for each platform.
Originate Off-Market Opportunities
We proactively identify and track founder-owned and privately held businesses showing pre-sale indicators — often well before a formal sale process.
Filter for Strategic Fit
Only opportunities meeting your platform’s operational, financial and cultural criteria are progressed.
Facilitate Early Engagement
Where appropriate, we enable discreet introductions to support proprietary conversations and bilateral execution.
Exclusivity & Alignment
Exclusive to the instructing private equity firm for the agreed platform(s)
No re-marketing of aligned opportunities to competing funds
Relationship-led, conflict-managed origination
Focused on long-term portfolio value, not transaction volume
