Target Origination
We help acquirers move from a stated growth strategy to executed transactions — identifying, qualifying, and approaching the right targets, then advising on structure and managing the deal end-to-end.
Most failed acquisitions fail before the first NDA is signed, because the target list was wrong. We start with the strategy — what the acquisition has to do for the business — and let that drive the universe, not the other way around.
We approach targets ourselves, on your behalf, with the discretion that primary owner-managers expect. Conversations happen in the background until both sides are ready for a structured process.
On instructed deals we then advise on valuation, structure, deal mechanics, and integration considerations, project-managing each transaction through to completion.
Trade acquirers, search funds, and private-capital-backed platforms with a defined growth thesis and the capital to execute.
