Our approach
Reaching out to known and unknown buyers
There are possibly hundreds, sometimes thousands of possible companies/ investors who may be interested in doing an M&A deal or interested in a private equity fund-raise for our client.
Sector agnostic
Sector-experience is important for dealmakers working on billion-dollar deals as in those cases, there are a handful of buyers/ investors looking at deals that size and therefore, relationship and sector focus is key for such large transactions – for a mid-size business, we focus on our process of approaching multiple buyers and therefore we remain sector agnostic.
Leveraging technology
We don’t rely merely on our already wide network of known players; we use a lot of technology – databases, deal analytics, news alerts, to see that we reach out to as many buyers/sellers as possible for our client.
Advantage of contacting multiple buyers
We can’t be in every buyers’/ investors’ mind and for a mid-size business to sell or looking for a fund-raise, a buyer/ investor/ JV partner can come from anywhere. What we do is reach out to as many as possible with an objective of getting multiple options for our clients.
