Deal Origination

Deal Origination

In the dynamic and highly competitive M&A landscape, the ability to proactively identify and engage with high-value, proprietary opportunities is the ultimate competitive differentiator. MergersCorp’s M&A Deal Origination Service moves beyond reactive deal sourcing to a strategic, intelligence-led approach, focused on finding the perfect, off-market acquisition targets for your business.

We don’t wait for deals to come to market; we engineer them.

Our Comprehensive Methodology: An Intelligence-Led Approach

Our process is meticulously structured to ensure a robust and effective search for proprietary deal flow. We execute a multi-faceted strategy that combines deep industry expertise with targeted outreach and relationship development.

1. Define the Ideal Partner Profile & Geographic Focus

The foundation of a successful deal origination strategy is a clear understanding of your goals. We work closely with your team to define the Ideal Partner Profile, including critical factors like:

• Strategic Fit: Are you targeting new markets or strengthening your position in existing ones?

• Geographic Focus: Are you looking to expand within Europe, or are specific countries or regions a priority?

2. Comprehensive Market Scan and Filtering

We use a systematic process to identify targets that fit your customized profile.

• Broad Sourcing: Using a combination of proprietary databases, industry reports, financial data platforms (such as Capital IQ, PitchBook, or Mergermarket), and our extensive professional network, we generate a long list of potential companies.

• Off-Market Focus: This list is systematically filtered based on the profile we’ve defined together. Our goal is to uncover off-market deals that provide a strong platform for corporate development, bypassing crowded auction processes.

3. Develop a Compelling Investment Thesis

For each company on the shortlist, we craft a clear, concise rationale for the transaction.

• The “Shared Vision”: This is the compelling investment thesis—the “story” we use to approach the target. It’s not just about a financial offer; it’s about a shared vision for the future and how a combination would benefit both parties. This is a core part of our M&A advisory service.

4. Confidential Outreach and Engagement

This is the core of the M&A origination process, where MergersCorp acts as a trusted intermediary.

• Discreet Approach: We use our extensive network and a highly confidential, “blind” approach to contact the owners or key decision-makers of the target companies.

• Trusted Intermediation: We build trust through a commitment to absolute discretion and a deep understanding of the unique sensitivities involved in private market transactions, enhancing your deal-making efficiency.
