A Standing Partnership

Borno works with a limited number of clients on an ongoing, exclusive basis. This is a standing origination partnership built to deliver consistent flow month after month, not a one-time program.

Our Standard

We take on a small number of partners so every relationship gets real origination capacity and protected exclusivity.

Most advisory firms live deal to deal. Referrals dry up, conferences produce business cards instead of clients, and the pipeline depends on who happens to call that month. Our advisory partners open their calendars to owners who are already thinking about a sale, so the next mandate is a conversation away instead of a quarter away.

Private equity and buy-side teams have the opposite problem. Plenty of capital, not enough proprietary flow, and every banked process comes with an auction attached. We put you in front of owners before a process exists, matched to your thesis, your verticals, and your check size.

Move quickly when a great deal lands on your desk, follow up like the relationship matters, and close what you start. The partners who do stay with us for years.
