Our Methodology

Four Week Solution

Week 1

Discovery

The kick-off commences by building a comprehensive buyer inventory and conducting initial discovery. This includes cataloging potential acquirers, their acquisition histories, strategic appetites, and sector focuses relevant to your business. Financial capacities, deal precedents, and market intelligence are mapped. Existing outreach logs, competitor sales, and buyer motivations are reviewed. By week's end, you receive a detailed buyer landscape report with fit indicators and baseline screening readiness assessment.

Assessment

Week 2

Buyer-specific alignments are explored via a deep dive through targeted profiling and scenario modeling. This covers evaluating strategic fit, pricing power, timeline urgency, and integration risks. Common pitfalls like mismatched valuations, regulatory hurdles, and post-deal disruptions are tested. Impacts from potential matches, such as premium offers or quick closes, are quantified, prioritizing buyers by offer potential, credibility, and execution track record. The output is a buyer heatmap with scored findings, quick outreach wins, and high-priority screening flags.

Planning

Week 3

With alignments mapped, full-scope buyer diligences are executed using standardized checklists and analytics tools. Virtual or facilitated reviews of interest levels, financial proofs, references, and term indications are performed. Claims against benchmarks like historical multiples, deal timelines, and industry norms are validated. Evidence requests and score buyers on seriousness metrics are negotiated. You get interim screening reports per candidate, complete with profile summaries, gap analyses, and escalation recommendations for low-potential pursuits.

Implementation

Week 4

The final week synthesizes findings into an actionable buyer pipeline roadmap. Shortlisted targets, teaser strategies, and engagement protocols tailored to your objectives are designed. Governance frameworks including progress cadences, NDA trackers, and fallback strategies are established. Training on screening best practices and deal management tools is delivered. Your key takeaway is a fortified buyer ecosystem with deployed outreach, phased negotiations, and sustained exit momentum.
