Retained sourcing

An outsourced acquisition search built around your brief.

For developers who want a continuous search rather than occasional introductions, SiteFound can work against an agreed mandate and keep the acquisition criteria active over time.

What retained means

Ongoing search, not a lead list.

The mandate sets the developer's acquisition criteria, evidence requirements and commercial structure. Search effort is then focused on those criteria rather than broad, speculative outreach.

Agreed brief

A documented acquisition profile defines the geography, site type, constraints and commercial priorities.

Continuous sourcing

Searches continue against the live mandate rather than ending after one introduction.

Priority diligence

Promising opportunities receive deeper screening before they reach the acquisition team.

Feedback loop

Developer feedback is recorded so future searches become more precise rather than repeating the same false positives.

Commercial structure

Retainer plus acquisition upside.

Retained sourcing is structured as a monthly fee for dedicated search and research, together with an agreed success or acquisition fee if an introduced opportunity progresses.

Terms depend on the scope, geography, exclusivity and level of work required. SiteFound does not publish a fixed retained fee because mandates differ materially.
