IDENTIFYING AND FINDING THE RIGHT FIT IS HARD WORK

You’re here because your company has a vision for inorganic growth. It’s a great aim, but there’s a challenging road ahead.

The first hurdle is where to start? With only 2% of companies for sale at any one time, looking on-market often leads to issues such as overvaluation and lack of choice.

So, you need to go off-market, but often that means approaching and engaging competitors, or performing research without the resources to do so. Unloq fills this gap by providing the expertise and support necessary to identify and secure valuable acquisition opportunities. We have access to eight sources of business data, and a wide network of advisors, accountants and lawyers.

We map the Market for Trade Buyers

Most trade buyers have specific requirements that go beyond sector or service type. Unloq conducts thorough market research to build highly targeted lists of companies that match your unique criteria, helping you understand where opportunities exist and building contacts that offer future value. We have projects that are very local (within 20 miles of a premises) and global, and have worked for clients across most of the developed world.

Engaging and Persuading Your Competitors

We’re experts at reaching out to business owners. It’s something we have refined over years of optimisation of our data sources, channels of communication and types of outreach. On average, within the first six months, we will have had a direct conversation with over 50% of business owners to explore interest.

Most of the targets trade buyers want to reach are direct or indirect competitors of yours, and will be resistant to your approach and reluctant in sharing information. Unloq’s skilled outreach process ensures that we initiate conversations in a way that puts potential targets at ease, opening the door to productive discussions and deal-making.

We’ll Help Get Your Acquisition Across the Line – Supporting Trade Buyers

Our deep experience in valuation, negotiation and deal structure makes us the ideal acquisition partner for any trade buyer. The origination is important, but we also work closely with you and your potential acquisition to ensure that the relationship remains strong throughout the process.

We can work with your partners or help you pull a team together. We are used to working alongside corporate finance, accounting and legal firms. And, if there is a gap to fill, we work closely with a number of partners who can assist and will recommend the most appropriate partner to work with.

With Unloq, you work with a specialised partner who tailors the search process to your specific needs. We identify the best possible acquisitions and connect you with them through a proven outreach model, maximising your chances of securing the right deals.
