Nothing is published about your business. You read the acquirer's stated requirement, then write to our team quoting the mandate reference with a brief outline of your company. We review the fit and, where it is credible, make a discreet introduction. If you decide not to proceed, no trace of the approach is left.

Every acquirer has submitted a written mandate covering investment criteria, funding position, decision process and prior acquisition experience. Our team reviews each submission before publication, and requirements without a defined thesis or a credible route to completion are declined.
