Purchase a company: Data Gathering, Research and Profiling

Unloq > Find Companies to Purchase

Purchase a Company, Successfully

If you want to purchase a company with successful business acquisition, an effective deal origination process is important for your success.

Choice means you don’t have to overpay
Choice means you can pick a large or small company
Choice means being able to compare and contrast
Choice means not having to start all over again
Choice is on your side

If you really want a choice, then your next option should be to prioritise off-market businesses for sale. The chances are that there may be only a handful of companies for sale today that are even near your brief. You can probably count them on one hand. Or possibly just a finger.

So, approaching companies that are not for sale should be a core part of your strategy. See Unloq’s business listings for potential acquisition opportunities, and opportunities to buy a company

What Does ‘Choice’ Look Like?

If you need options then you need to put in place more proactive acquisition plans. To give you an idea of what it looks like for our clients here are some averages across a short-term acquisition project (between 8 and 9 months):

120 researched and profiled Target businesses with identified shareholders
