We support clients across any stage of the origination process through a modular engagement model, designed to avoid conflicts and stay fully aligned with your acquisition strategy. Where market mapping hasn’t been undertaken, we identify and build the target lists too.

How it works

Research, outreach, and engagement, engaged in full or by stage

Research

Build and prioritise the target list
  • Prioritise targets, analyse and rank against acquisition criteria
  • Identify decision makers, map founders, owners, and key executives
  • Build company profiles on identified targets

Outreach

Structured campaigns across the target universe
  • Direct outreach to founders and decision makers
  • Personalised messaging highlighting your strategic rationale
  • Multi-channel approach, email, calls, LinkedIn, and network

Engagement

Manage conversations and nurture relationships
  • Initial discussions to explore strategic fit and acquisition intent
  • Qualify opportunities against acquisition criteria
  • Manage and maintain relationships with targets
Why it works

Origination that stays on your side

Fully aligned, conflict-free

A modular model designed to avoid conflicts and stay aligned to your strategy, not transaction volume.

Proprietary and off-market

Direct origination surfaces opportunities other buyers never see.

Modular by stage

Engage us for the whole process, or step in at research, outreach, or engagement.
