OBJECTIVE
Efficient Buyers List Building and Acquistion Target Discovery
iMerge Advisors deals with a high volume of transactions in the $3M to $50M range. To improve efficiency, they sought ways to streamline their processes for target identification and buyer list creation. They had three focus areas where they wanted to improve:
1. Building a list of buyers efficiently
First, for sell-side projects, they needed an efficient method to build good quality buyers lists within a specific niche. This involved identifying potential buyers in the tech and software industry, including private equity firms active in the industry.
2. Finding all relevant buy-side acquisition targets
Second, they wanted to make sure they always find all targets globally that aligns perfectly with their clients’ needs. For this they wanted to find a software that could support the process: make it more efficient and help them to make sure they are finding what others are missing.
3. Find businesses ready to sell
Further, iMerge Advisors hoped to find a solution that could also help them generate more deal flow by identifying potential clients who are ready to sell their business and seeking for a partner.
