How does Direct Deal Sourcing works?

In this short intro video, we explain the key steps and our approach to direct deal sourcing. This process supports our clients in their growth and regularly provides private equity and strategic investors with new growth opportunities through acquisitions.

The key milestones in the direct deal sourcing process are:

1. Recording the search parameters and discussing the stratgic target with the customer.

2. Screening of the market and creation of a long list.

3. Coordination of the long list with the customer and fine tuning

4. Direct approach of the company owner or CEO

5. Preliminary discussion with the target to avoid wrong parameters and request of first financial ratios

6. Organization of a management call with our client

7. Monitoring of the process until signing
