A FASTER AND MORE THOROUGH SEARCH

Search funds can be held back by their precisely what they need to be good at: searching.

What if you could accelerate your search, seeing more relevant opportunities quickly so that you can focus on negotiation and completion rather than hunting? Our dedicated team understands the unique challenges of search funds and is committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Precise Company Targeting

You probably have a set of specific requirements that are more detailed than merely a business type or sector. We combine multiple sources of business data to provide both broad and deep data to build highly targeted lists of companies that fit your precise criteria. In turn, this ensures that you focus on the most promising opportunities available.

Making that Vital Connection

Most search funds have challenges in making the first deal happen. In some cases it might be the only one, but it remains hard to secure. It is even harder if you are speaking to on-market companies as you are often leveraged for trade buyers, and can experience a sequence of near misses.

Our outreach process gives you many more options and direct conversations with business owners, increasing your chances of securing the right fitting business.

Lean on our Acquisition Experience

We are here to assist with valuation, negotiation, and deal structure. We can work closely with your team and advisors to help you present your case in the most favourable light. As we approach completion, we will work closely with you and the existing management team to ensure a strong transition to the new ownership.

Equipping You Where There are Gaps

As you navigate the complexities of a deal, we are on hand to help you fill any gaps you may have. While financing may be covered, we can provide vital support with accounting and legal matters, ensuring a seamless transaction process.
