Your Private Equity Deal Flow Partner

You know that quality deal flow is crucial to scaling your portfolio companies and achieving investor returns, and it is likely that you are already using a number of routes to see every deal you can that might fit your criteria.

However, if you are looking for more quality, and more off-market opportunities then we should talk. We complement the origination efforts of numerous PE firms across various regions, delivering additional deal flow and sourcing new acquisition opportunities often overlooked through the more traditional approach.

Greater Focus Means Better Fitting Deals

Our in-house team has many years of experience in most sectors, across a range of global regions. We use the best business data sources to research high quality lists. We specialise in finding high-potential targets, giving you a wider range of acquisition options.

By working with us, you gain access to deals that align with your portfolio strategy, allowing you to stay ahead in a competitive market. Finding opportunities you may have missed, which is why ALL of the businesses acquired through Unloq either continue to trade, or have been successfully absorbed into profitable enterprises.

The fit matters.

Accurate Targeting Delivers More Engagement

For Private Equity deal flow, engaging with the right targets is a critical step in deal origination. It is easier when a company is on-market or has an advisor, but in our experience initiating direct contact with potential acquisitions—especially competitors—can be challenging.

Unloq has optimised their outreach process over time and, on average, we reach over 50% of target owners within a few months of engagement. Furthermore, targets are often more receptive, as they feel less defensive than they would in direct buyer-to-seller conversations.

We deliver a more productive environment for initial discussions, enabling your firm to explore opportunities without confrontation, leading to more positive outcomes.

Enhancing Deal Origination for Private Equity Deal Flow

Private Equity deal flow firms rely on robust deal origination to drive portfolio growth and meet performance benchmarks. Unloq acts as an extension of your existing team, enhancing your origination efforts and facilitating more conversations with potential acquisitions. This results in deals that are not only aligned with your firm’s goals but also offer better long-term value for your portfolio.

By partnering with Unloq, you have a category specialist that also has optimised the outreach process. We will unlock additional opportunities to accelerate your growth and give you a significant competitive advantage.

With our strategically focused approach to M&A, your firm can stay competitive and maximise investor returns.
