M&A isn’t complicated. It’s just unforgiving.

Founders usually enter M&A with one question: “What’s it worth?” Buyers enter with another: “What could go wrong?”

Succeed exists to close that gap

As Unusual Group’s dedicated mergers and acquisitions brokerage, we help founders reduce uncertainty early, in the numbers, the narrative, and the process, so you keep leverage when it matters.

We are constantly in the market

We track real-time buyer appetite, valuation sensitivities, deal structures, and common diligence failure points across our sectors, so decisions are based on what’s true now, not what used to be true.

Value is confidence, priced.

Most deals don’t fail on price. They fail on risk.

We’re in the market every day, tracking what buyers are paying for, what they’re discounting, and what’s actually getting deals done.

Here’s how Succeed runs deals end-to-end:

1. Diagnose the risk

We identify what gets discounted: concentration, quality of earnings, delivery fragility, leadership dependency, pipeline credibility, and reporting discipline.
2. Make it buyer-grade

We tighten the story, clean the pack, and align the numbers, so you don’t lose weeks explaining what you “meant”.
3. Run a controlled process

Right counterparties, right sequencing, right information at the right time. Momentum stays protected. Noise gets removed.
4. Close cleanly

Negotiation, diligence, structure, completion, with founder-first communication and decision clarity throughout.
The goal isn’t a deal. It’s a deal you don’t regret.

This isn’t “support”. It’s execution that includes:

Valuation + value drivers

A clear view of current value, what moves it, and what’s being priced as risk.
Buyer / investor pack

Narrative, materials and evidence that stand up under scrutiny.
Targeting + introductions

We match for fit, strategic, commercial and cultural, then run the process properly.
Diligence + negotiation leadership

We control the room, the timeline and the data flow, so terms don’t drift while you’re busy running the business.
Succeed is Unusual Group’s dedicated M&A brokerage, built from what we’ve learned supporting founder-led businesses through buy, sell and raise outcomes across the ecosystem.
