For Private Equity
Research targets at scale, not one at a time
Deal sourcing should not mean junior analysts manually Googling hundreds of businesses. Boosta provides structured intelligence on digital presence, reputation, and market positioning — so your team focuses on analysis, not data collection.
The Problem
Sound familiar?
Manual research does not scale
Your analysts spend hours per target researching digital presence, reputation, competitive position, and market signals. Multiply that by a hundred targets in a sector scan and you have weeks of work before any real analysis begins.
Fragmented data across dozens of sources
Website quality, review sentiment, technology adoption, social presence, hiring activity — the signals that indicate business health are scattered across platforms. Assembling a coherent picture manually is slow and inconsistent.
You miss businesses that are not on broker lists
The best acquisition targets are often not actively for sale. They are well-run businesses in fragmented markets that nobody has approached yet. But finding them requires systematic market scanning that traditional deal sourcing does not support.
How It Works
Here is what changes
Structured intelligence across entire sectors
Define a sector and region. Boosta returns structured profiles on every business — digital maturity, reputation signals, technology adoption, market positioning. The research your analysts would do, delivered at database scale.
- 12 intelligence categories analysed per business automatically
- Digital presence quality as a proxy for operational sophistication
- Trust scores derived from aggregated reputation signals
- Technology stack analysis reveals investment in infrastructure
Spot platform opportunities in fragmented markets
Boosta surfaces patterns across businesses in the same vertical. Identify fragmented markets with inconsistent digital maturity — the classic roll-up opportunity — without commissioning a bespoke market study.
- Compare digital presence across competitors in a vertical
- Identify market leaders and laggards by region
- Reputation signal variance indicates consolidation opportunity
- Filter by geography, category, and business maturity
Assess targets before making contact
Understand a business's public digital footprint before your first conversation. Website quality, customer sentiment, competitive positioning, and technology choices all tell a story about how the business operates.
- Reputation analysis surfaces customer satisfaction patterns
- Technology adoption signals operational maturity
- Website quality correlates with management attention to detail
- Growth signals from expanding locations and service areas
Track sectors and monitor for changes
Set up watchlists for target sectors and receive alerts when new businesses appear or existing targets show significant changes. Continuous monitoring replaces periodic manual reviews.
- New businesses surfaced weekly as the database expands
- Alerts when tracked businesses show material changes
- Export structured data for integration with your deal pipeline
- Match scoring helps prioritise outreach across large target lists
See It In Action
A typical workflow
You are mapping the physiotherapy and allied health market across South East Queensland. Traditionally, this means weeks of manual research across directories, review sites, and company websites.
Boosta returns 350+ allied health businesses with structured intelligence profiles. You immediately filter by trust score and digital maturity — the businesses with strong reputations but weak digital presence are your sweet spot.
A pattern emerges: established practices with excellent patient reviews but outdated websites and no online booking. These are well-run clinical businesses underinvesting in growth infrastructure — classic acquisition targets.
One practice stands out: a physiotherapy group with four locations, outstanding reputation signals, but a website that has not been updated in three years. No online booking, no content marketing, no patient portal. Strong clinical operations, untapped growth potential.
You present the sector scan to your investment committee with structured data on 40 shortlisted targets — digital maturity scores, reputation analysis, and competitive positioning. The research that would have taken your team a month was completed in days.
Two weeks later: Boosta alerts you that a new allied health practice has appeared in the database — a fast-growing occupational therapy provider that just opened its third location. You add it to your active pipeline before any competing fund spots the opportunity.
