B. Woods & Company

B. Woods & Company is a boutique buy-side M&A origination firm specializing in proprietary deal sourcing for lower middle-market private equity groups and independent sponsors. We help sponsors build stronger platforms and execute add-on acquisition strategies through targeted outreach, deep sector mapping, and high-quality founder engagement.

Our firm focuses exclusively on the buy-side, enabling us to deliver consistent, actionable deal flow that aligns tightly with each client’s investment criteria. We design and execute customized origination programs across a range of industries, including industrial services, niche manufacturing, B2B services, environmental services, specialty distribution, engineered products, facility services, and other fragmented LMM sectors.

We combine rigorous research with relationship-centered outreach to surface founder-owned businesses that are often overlooked by traditional intermediaries. Every mandate is built around a structured process: industry landscape analysis, target identification, personalized outreach, qualification calls, detailed notes, CRM-ready reporting, and weekly updates. Our team personally manages communication with owners to ensure you receive opportunities that are informed, relevant, and ready for evaluation.

Whether supporting a new platform thesis or multi-year add-on acquisition program, B. Woods & Company operates as an extension of a PE firm’s origination function, providing scale, consistency, and sector depth without diluting quality. We act as the front end of your deal pipeline, helping you gain access to founder conversations earlier, build long-term relationships, and increase the probability of closing competitive proprietary or lightly intermediated transactions.

Our clients value us for our transparency, responsiveness, industry specialization, and ability to drive meaningful dialogue with the right owners at the right time.
