## The Problem

Lower Middle Market M&A engagements depend on a strong long-list of 50–100 candidates per role — and candidate research in DealStream burns associate hours that could go to relationship work.

## What We Build in BizBuySell Pro

AI builds the long-list from DealStream, LinkedIn, and proprietary firm databases, scores candidates against the role criteria, and produces the partner-ready presentation — long-list build time drops 70%. Purpose-built for teams running BizBuySell Pro — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## BizBuySell Pro Integration Approach

1. **Audit your BizBuySell Pro configuration.** We map the specific BizBuySell Pro objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your lower middle market m&a practice.
2. **Build on the BizBuySell Pro API or agent.** Integration happens inside BizBuySell Pro — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in BizBuySell Pro with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
