Tell National Industry Network what you want to acquire so our team can focus on the businesses most relevant to your goals, capabilities, and preferred ownership approach.

Your Investor Profile gives NIN the criteria needed to compare your interests with businesses available now and opportunities that enter the network later. It helps our team understand what a strong fit looks like for you and avoid spending your time on businesses that fall outside your priorities. Join the Network separately for first access to new-to-market opportunity emails.

What your profile helps NIN understand

  • The industries and business models you want to pursue
  • The locations or regions that fit your acquisition strategy
  • The purchase-price range, annual gross revenue, and cash flow or EBITDA profile you are positioned to consider
  • Your available capital, financing approach, and any seller-approved financing or transaction structures you can pursue
  • Your acquisition timing and level of readiness
  • Whether you plan to operate the business, install management, or hold it as part of a broader portfolio
  • Your acquisition experience, organization, and any partners involved

The more accurately your profile reflects your goals and capabilities, the better NIN can focus on opportunities that deserve your attention.

How buyer matching works with National Industry Network

NIN uses the acquisition criteria in your profile to look for the closest alignment between what you want to acquire and the businesses we represent. We consider industry, geography, purchase-price range, annual gross revenue, cash flow or EBITDA, available capital, financing approach, timing, experience, and intended ownership role.

When a current opportunity aligns with your criteria, NIN brings the potential fit into focus and helps you decide whether it deserves a closer look. As new businesses enter the network, your profile remains active for comparison, giving our team an ongoing understanding of the opportunities most relevant to you. When you choose to explore a match, the acquisition consultant coordinates confidentiality, qualification, and the next steps for that opportunity.

Each opportunity follows a structured review and confidentiality process, giving qualified buyers an organized path to evaluate the business and move forward when the fit is right.
