Other Services

Buyer Research

Our dedicated researchers produce exhaustive buyer research. The lists are the result of analysing companies from three primary sources:

  1. Company and M&A subscription databases (see right).
  2. Variable resources e.g. trade association members and exhibitor lists.
  3. Proprietary M&A data and knowledge from the in-house team.

Our data gives us direct access to domestic and international prospective buyers.

Our research team will analyse M&A to identify active acquirers, other trade buyers and if relevant, financial sponsors such as private equity firms and family offices.

We are investing in AI to continuously improve the quality of our buyer lists and make them more efficient to produce.

Buyer Outreach

Once the buyers have been approved the Langcliffe team will identify all relevant M&A contacts – Note that Langcliffe only approach companies approved by the advisor.

On the ‘go-to-market’ date as set by the advisor, the Langcliffe team will exclusively begin outreach to all potential buyers.

The Langcliffe team will provide regular updates and feedback from the potential buyers that respond to the confidential teaser, both interested and not interested.

For the interested parties, the Langcliffe deal team will request to send an NDA, and the IM once in receipt of a signed NDA.

If any prospective buyers want to adjust the NDA or have other questions, these will be passed on to the advisor. Introductions will be made to the buyer after the IM is sent.

The process is run extremely confidentially to protect the vendor.

How It Works

The complete process

1
New Project

The vendor advisor notifies Langcliffe they want to use the Langcliffe Premium service and details of the vendor’s business is shared with Langcliffe. We align on the buyer profile and process and work on the advisors go to-market timeline.

2
Research & Strategy

We assign this to a dedicated M&A research analyst who uses all resources available to them.  We build a curated buyer list using our proprietary criteria and market tools by dedicated teams e.g. UK trade buyers, European trade buyers, US private equity etc. We gather details of all key M&A decision makers, ready for the outreach phase. The advisor confirms when the process should go live and share the final teaser.

3
Discreet Outreach

Outreach begins to approved buyers only. We run controlled outreach on your behalf, reporting buyer responses in real-time. The interested parties are sent the NDA to sign and with the approval of the advisor, the IM is shared with the buyer.

4
Qualified Handovers

Regular updates and feedback from buyers is provided to the vendor advisor. Timely introductions are made between the advisor and buyer with only serious buyers introduced that are warm, informed, and ready to engage. You lead from there.

5
Deal Conclusion

The advisor will lead the buyers through meetings, offers and negotiations to a deal conclusion.
