  • Who is investing?

    Who is investing?

    Who’s actually playing in the same market as me?
    Who’s buying companies similar to the ones I’m looking at?
    My client turned down my target, maybe I can pitch it to someone else?

    These questions come up constantly in M&A.

    Databases are expensive, and major providers charge a premium for their data collections. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

    Usually, a few quick searches based on investment criteria and whether a buyer already has a platform company in their portfolio are all you need.

    Pricey datasets packed with hundreds of metrics are rarely necessary in day-to-day corporate development, and most people don’t even use them.

    We’ve opened up our database to everyone, pre-loaded with all publicly available information and updated every evening. Deals happen daily.

    This lets you find the right investor for a target: fast, seamless, and effective.

    Save yourself weeks of research and list building.

  • Pre-Qualifying Targets

    Pre-Qualifying Targets

    These days, you can build lists of company websites in the blink of an eye – thanks to AI.

    If you’re looking for HVAC, MSP, or roofing websites, for example, you can usually generate a list with hundreds of entries in seconds.

    And then what? Every single website, and every single company, still has to be vetted manually.

    Could it be a good fit?
    Does it match your buy box?
    Is it already private equity–backed?

    This research takes forever, and even modern tools have clear limits here.

    That’s exactly why we built our own tool – the Buy-Box Checker.

    It takes a single website or an entire list of them, no matter the format. A member directory in PDF? No problem. Excel? Of course.

    The real key is the filter. We can define the buy box in granular detail and even set hard dealbreakers.
    With just one click, the tool evaluates the companies behind the websites and delivers a detailed, filterable list.
    Match? No match? Partial match? You get full clarity at a glance.

  • How to find targets?

    How to find targets?

    There are many ways to get your hands on good company data.
    There are also plenty of ways to reach out to companies and see if they’d be open to a chat about a potential acquisition.

    The initial challenge is figuring out how to build a valid, high-quality list of target companies that actually fit your specific search criteria – your buy box.

     

    Thousands of providers offer help here: lead generation tools that spit out endless results based on simple filters, pricey databases selling enriched data for thousands of dollars a year, and, of course, standard search engines like Google.

    They all have one thing in common: they deliver bulk data with a high noise-to-signal ratio.

    Companies that aren’t a fit.
    Companies that have already been sold.
    Companies already owned by private equity. Filtering all that out usually requires tedious manual research.

     

    That’s why we decided to open up our own tool – the Target Finder – to everyone.

    It analyzes the buyer’s specific buy box and runs an intelligent search, yielding pre-qualified results ready for immediate outreach.
    It’s a massive time-saver. No more blasting out thousands of emails and praying something sticks.

    Targeted. Focused. Verified.
