Commission-Only Deal Origination Consultants

Acqius Ltd – Global M&A Advisory

Acqius is expanding its global sell-side deal origination network.

We advise founders and shareholders worldwide on the sale of their businesses. Our transactions span the UK, Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, Australasia and the Middle East. We are now building a structured, performance-based referral network for commercially astute professionals who can introduce quality sell-side opportunities — anywhere in the world.

This is not employment.

This is not a cold-calling role.

This is not full-time.

It is a commission-only consultancy opportunity for well-connected individuals who can identify business owners considering a sale and introduce them to Acqius.

The Role

As an Acqius Deal Origination Consultant, you will:

  • Introduce business owners who may be exploring a sale or exit.
  • Facilitate an initial introduction to our advisory team.
  • Maintain involvement where appropriate, depending on your relationship.
  • Earn a percentage of Acqius’ success fee when a transaction completes.

You do not need to leave your current role.

You do not execute the transaction.

You do not require formal M&A experience (although commercial awareness is important).

You simply need strong relationships, credibility and access to decision-makers.

Target Business Profile

We focus exclusively on established, profitable businesses:

  • Minimum £2.5m revenue
  • Minimum £500k EBITDA
  • Preferred MIN profile£5m+ revenue and £1m+ EBITDA
  • Typical upper range: up to £50m revenue

We are not focused on early-stage, pre-profit or fundraising mandates. Our model is strictly sell-side M&A advisory.

Global Opportunity

This is a worldwide network. If you operate in the UK, Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, Australasia or other international markets, we welcome introductions.

Acqius regularly executes cross-border transactions with strategic buyers and private equity.

Geography is not a limitation.

Training & Support

All approved consultants receive a comprehensive onboarding and training pack, including:

  • How sell-side M&A transactions work
  • What constitutes a viable mandate
  • EBITDA quality and valuation fundamentals
  • Buyer psychology and positioning
  • How to introduce opportunities professionally
  • Confidentiality and process guidelines

We provide structure and clarity so you can operate professionally from day one.

How You Get Paid

Acqius operates on a success-fee model (typically 2.5–7.5% of transaction value).

When a transaction completes:

  • You receive an agreed percentage of our success fee.
  • Payment is made upon completion.
  • There is no earnings cap.

A single £10m transaction can generate significant commission. Larger deals scale accordingly.
