PrivSource is a private-market, invite-only network and deal-sourcing platform designed for lower-middle-market mergers & acquisitions; it connects pre-vetted buyers and confidential seller engagements in a secure online marketplace where buyers can access off-market opportunities and sellers can discreetly list transactions without paying success fees.

PrivSource emphasises trust and data protection; buyers must apply and be approved, deals are generally off-market (not publicly listed), and both sides benefit from a streamlined digital workflow or “deal network” that brings efficiency to sourcing, screening, and matching without the overhead of traditional brokerage auction models.
