Real results from buyers, sellers, and intermediaries who used DueDilio to find the right team for their transaction.
DueDilio listened to the type of work I needed to complete as well as the parameters I needed to work within. Within a few days I had ~15 applications and set up calls with my top 3 choices. The individual I ended up hiring did phenomenally.
I was acquiring another company and needed help FAST. Since it was my first time, it was especially nerve racking. Luckily DueDilio was able to match me with someone knowledgeable and at a decent rate within 24 hours. Without them it would've taken me 2 weeks to find someone.
Roman Beylin was very helpful and responsive and helped us find a financial due diligence firm (through a competitive process) that was appropriate for the circumstances of our $3M EBITDA target acquisition. Because of our positive experience, we will use DueDilio for legal engagements as well and on future transactions.
"Exceptionally fast, professional, and easy to work with. They provided us with options within 24 hours that were exactly what we asked for."

Direct answers to the questions we hear most before a first project.
You can — but finding M&A service providers on your own typically means weeks of cold outreach, inconsistent quotes, and no easy way to verify credentials or deal experience. DueDilio sends your project to pre-vetted providers who specialize in your deal type, and you receive competitive proposals directly — often the same day. Most clients find that the time saved and the pricing difference from competitive proposals more than cover the $149. And that access is yours forever, for every deal you ever work on.
Every provider in the network is reviewed before being approved — we check credentials, relevant deal experience, and references. Providers are rated by clients after every engagement. And we have a one-strike policy: any provider who underperforms or behaves unprofessionally is removed. You won't see a proposal from someone who hasn't been DueDilio Verified™. You're also free to browse anonymous provider profiles before paying anything, so you can assess the network quality firsthand before committing.
You're never obligated to hire anyone. After reviewing proposals you can message providers, ask questions, and schedule calls before making any decision. If nothing fits, you're not out anything beyond the platform fee — and your access remains active for future projects. That said, our guided project form is specifically designed to attract the right providers for your deal, and most clients receive multiple strong proposals to choose from.
Often within the first hour, with the majority of proposals arriving within 24 hours. Providers on DueDilio are actively looking for new engagements and respond quickly to well-scoped projects. You have 7 days to review all proposals before making a decision — there's no pressure to hire on the spot.
DueDilio is built for SMB and lower middle market transactions — small business acquisitions, search fund deals, independent sponsor transactions, and owner-operated business exits. If you're a buyer, seller, or intermediary working on a private business deal and need M&A service providers, DueDilio is designed for you. Not sure?
