Your buy-box, turned into a shortlist of real targets.
Meridian Acquire works from your acquisition criteria and goes and finds the businesses that fit, including the founder-led companies that never reach a broker. Every target comes scored, with the reasoning and the evidence behind it.
Founding rate: A$295 for a 90-day trial, first 10 searchers only.
Finding good targets is the hardest part of any search.
Broker lists are picked over, and most of the best businesses are never listed at all. Instead of buying another contact database, you tell Meridian Acquire what you are looking for, and it does the sourcing: searching live Australian company data, surfacing the owners who might be ready to sell, and scoring each one against your thesis so you spend your time on the few that matter.
Three steps from thesis to shortlist.
Define your thesis
Tell us your buy-box: industry, geography, size, owner profile, and the signals that matter to you. As specific or as broad as you like.
We source and score
We search live Australian company data and score every candidate against your thesis, surfacing founder-led businesses that are not on anyone's list.
You get a ranked shortlist
A scored shortlist of real targets with the reasoning and evidence behind each one, ready to approach. Refined as we learn what you like.
A shortlist that shows its working.
Illustrative example. Representative businesses on a generalist Melbourne thesis, A$1.5M+ EBITDA. Not real client data.
Built for people doing the search themselves.
Founding rate for the first ten searchers.
Each trial is set up and run by hand while we are early, so seats are limited. Founding members lock a half-price retainer for as long as they stay.
The ongoing rate once founding seats are gone.
- Your full buy-box set up with you
- Scored shortlists of real, evidence-tagged targets
- Ongoing refinement as we learn your taste
- A direct line to the founder, not a support queue
Good things to ask early.
How good is the data?
We are early and we are not going to quote you a number we cannot back yet. The companies are real and pulled from public filings and web data, each tagged by how confident we are in it: reported, estimated, or flagged for diligence. The fairest test is the shortlist itself, which is why the trial exists.
Do you cover my industry?
The engine is generalist across Australia and New Zealand. You can run a tight thesis on a single niche and region, or keep it broad and let it find the strongest businesses that fit your size and owner profile.
What do I actually receive?
A scored shortlist of real targets with the reasoning and evidence behind each one: size, location, owner read, and the signals that drove the score. It is refined over the trial as we learn which businesses you want more of.
How is this different from a contact-data tool?
Contact tools get you details for companies you have already chosen to chase. Meridian Acquire is the step before that: deciding which companies are worth chasing in the first place. It sits alongside your existing stack rather than replacing it.
What happens after the 90 days?
You continue at your locked founding rate of A$500 per month, or you stop. There is no long contract, and the founding rate stays with you for as long as you are a member.
