Acquest consistently brings together corporate acquirers and private equity sponsors
with high quality private companies. We take very few assignments and commit substantially
all our resources to each assignment. We begin with a thoughtful and thorough consultation
phase in order to fully bring out and understand the logic, strategy, resources and
ethos of our client. We then apply the resulting criteria efficiently and methodically
in the execution phase of the assignment.
Proper research is the cornerstone to a successful search process. While we are a
small firm, we have deployed as many as twelve researchers for a single client engagement
to put possible acquisition candidates through our proprietary screening matrix.
We don't contact all possible target companies as some firms advertise, but
rather are more scientific in determining which companies are most likely to be desirable
targets.
Once we have found a suitable target, we cultivate a dialog with the owner and set
the stage for our client to have the best shot at making a purchase. Although we
are the buyer's agent, we often succeed in becoming personally close to the seller,
and thus can reach deeply into the nuances of the personalities on both sides. These
small human variables are often the determinate of a deal that succeeds or fails.
Depending on the resources and the needs of our client, we are ready to actively
participate in all phases of the acquisition process with the exception of due diligence
services. We are skilled contract negotiators and look to reduce our client's exposures
at every instance.
You may also wish to review the section on Sector
Consolidation strategies, an area that has involved some of our most successful
engagements.
We would be pleased to discuss your acquisition objectives at any time and in complete
confidence.
