About Deal Prospectors
At Deal Prospectors, we help serious buyers uncover off-market business opportunities, before they hit the open market.
We believe the best deals are found through relationships, not listings. That’s why we focus on direct owner outreach, data-backed vetting, and personalized matchmaking.
Our goal is to connect qualified buyers with motivated sellers months before a business ever goes public.
Meet the Founder
Geoff Cudd is the founder of Deal Prospectors. He also created Don’t Do It Yourself (DDIY), a site that helps businesses find marketing services and remote assistance, and Top Dollar Exits, a resource for business owners looking to sell their business.
With over 20 years experience advising Fortune 500 companies, launching SaaS products, and helping entrepreneurs and small business owners scale and exit, Geoff saw firsthand how many buyers miss out on great deals simply because they’re never made public.
Our Background
What sets us apart is our deep experience in lead generation and marketing across a wide range of industries. Over the past decade, we’ve built systems to generate high quality leads for products, digital services, and customer acquisition, skills that directly translate to effective deal scouting.
We apply those same proven outreach and targeting strategies to uncover business owners who are open to selling, even if they haven’t gone public with that decision. This lets us bring serious buyer opportunities long before they’re listed anywhere else.
Why We Started Deal Prospectors
The market for small and mid-sized business acquisitions is broken.
Listings are overcrowded
Brokers gatekeep quality deals
You’re one of dozens of buyers
By sourcing directly from business owners, often months before they’re ready to list, we give our buyers a real edge. No fluff. No auctions.
