If, like most clients of ours, you have a vision for buy and build, then we’re confident we are the right partner for you. The challenge you face is varied, but mainly around finding enough high quality businesses to ensure that you have confidence that progress will be made. In our opinion, for every deal you make, you need to speak to about 20 businesses.
If you choose only to speak to companies for sale, and your focus is a sector, and perhaps a region too, then you will find it hard to realise a single acquisition, let along several. In time, too, you will become frustrated with brokers and advisors inflating value and leveraging your offers for other buyers. Therefore, to find a good number of interested sellers, you need to search off-market. And that involves research, analysis and outreach to business owners.
Working with Unloq means you have a partner that is a specialist in helping deliver buy and build strategies. We access the highest quality business data and have the best methods of analysing that data to find you the best quality businesses that fit your criteria. Size, profit, location, markets, end-customers, facilities, management team and culture are all elements we consider for you as we build your target list.
We have refined and optimised the outreach process. We speak to, on average, 50% of target company owners within the first six months and therefore give our client a steady stream of introductions to owners of high quality businesses who would be interested in exploring disposal. Every client has the opportunity to review every business first, and once you give us the green light, we start connecting.
Working with Unloq not only delivers a steady stream of high quality opportunities, but also releases you to focus on your plans. You have more time to evaluate opportunities, compare and contrast potential acquisitions and choose carefully the ones you would like to progress. From then, we are here to help, but you can get stuck into the due diligence and the post-completion runway and planning, knowing we’re working on deal two, three and four for you.
Whether you’re an individual investor or a company looking to create a significant impact into an industry, Unloq brings the expertise, tools, and network you need to execute a successful buy-and-build strategy. With a proven track record and a commitment to building the right pipeline for you, Unloq is dedicated to helping you achieve extraordinary growth and unlock the full potential of your acquisition portfolio. Let’s connect.
