Corporate acquisition teams
Acquisition targets for your growth strategy.
We compare acquisition targets against the capabilities and locations you need. Existing targets, recent acquisitions and exclusions define where to look next.
Free initial consultation. Scope and fixed fee agreed before work begins.
Acquisition target map
We define the segment, geography and selection criteria, then agree the research scope, delivery date and fixed fee before work begins.
- Target comparison
- A company comparison covering products, markets served and available size and ownership data. Includes sources, reasons for inclusion or exclusion and information gaps.
- Shortlist rationale
- The potential contribution to your business, from additional products to market access. The proposed ranking distinguishes documented fit from assumptions to test.
- Preparation for discussions
- Contact routes and questions for management or owners, distinguishing checks to complete before an approach from matters for the discussion.
Example brief and handover
- Client question
- An acquisition brief: compare custom software development businesses in Czechia and Slovakia.
- What we deliver
- A company comparison, short profiles, sources and questions on ownership, financial performance and acquisition availability.
- Acceptance
- At handover we check coverage of the agreed criteria, traceable sources and reasons for the selection. Unavailable information remains identified.
An illustrative brief. The proposal defines the actual scope, file format, timing and fixed fee. Candidate outreach is a separate step as agreed.
View the research sampleDiscuss your acquisition brief.
In a free initial consultation, we discuss what the acquisition should achieve and propose a research brief.
Can we start with our existing target list?
Yes. We first establish why you selected those businesses. The engagement can cover comparison and missing information only, or include a search for additional targets.
Will you contact the owners immediately?
Outreach is agreed separately. Together we approve the target list, message and information that can be shared about the buyer before any approach. The research engagement does not include approaching owners.
