Strategic investors
Your enterprise is doing well but you could grow faster by acquiring a competitor? No matter how well you know your industry, it is unlikely you know every single relevant company or the plans of its owners. Or perhaps you would like to expand your company’s capabilities by establishing a new business unit. Purchasing a well-positioned supplier can get you there quickly and create a wide spectrum of new opportunities by giving you access to the skilled workforce you need, along with a solid customer base.
Use COMPANYLINKS to identify acquisition candidates effectively and free of charge, and put yourself into the pole position if the company of interest is actually for sale without any major public announcement.
Private equity
“COMPANYLINKS’ approach makes it considerably simpler to source appropriate investments. We only see the deals that really interest us.”
Florian Thelenberg
Director, ECM
As a financial investor, you want to know which sell-sides are on the market. But SMEs tend to shy away from the big stage: if their M&A adviser doesn’t know you or otherwise doesn’t contact you, you might not get to hear about the transaction until after its done and dusted.
Whether you’re looking for an add-on or a new platform investment, tell COMPANYLINKS what kind of purchases you’d like to consider and participate without wasting time on the high dealflow handled by our platform. Only when we know exactly what you’re looking will we connect you to the seller or their M&A adviser. This way, both your information and the seller’s are protected. With COMPANYLINKS, no information can be viewed by third parties. Therefore, the competition won’t find out what kinds of investments you’re seriously considering. This is also completely free of charge for the buyer, even once the deal is closed, because we are compensated by the seller.
Family offices
Your clients typically have an entrepreneurial background themselves and take a positive view on direct investments in medium-sized companies. What is more, in the context of a mixed portfolio this asset class offers highly attractive investment opportunities that are largely unaffected by capital markets. On the other hand, it would not be feasible for you as a portfolio manager to maintain an over-dimensioned network of consultants to scan the market for attractive investment opportunities.
Simply place the investment categories of interest to your clients into the hands of COMPANYLINKS – if desired anonymously, without naming the party. Any time we come across a suitable company for sale you will be notified so your client can take action immediately. If so desired, your client may remain anonymous during this stage of the process.
