A successful acquisition search is a more challenging undertaking than finding a purchaser for a seller. Quality acquisition opportunities are very difficult to find because they require focus, diligence, experience and knowing where to look. The majority of buyers approach this process in the traditional manner; by searching websites, contacting business brokers, looking in newspapers, etc.

But that approach really is a hit or miss, needle in a haystack proposition. It is lengthy and typically unearths many under-performing and over-valued businesses while seldom locating a quality company. But, more importantly, that approach also places each buyer in competition against every one else using the same open resources to identify a business opportunity. But engaging Aitx in a targeted acquisition search can eliminate many of the disadvantages inherent in going it alone.

A targeted acquisition search by a professional M&A adviser can identify many more interested sellers than any internet list method.  Over the course of our day-to-day operations we often encounter business owners who express to us that they would be interested in selling if we had a specific buyer to go to, but they are not interested in putting their company up for sale on the open market.  The upshot is that more opportunities exist than can be found on a Google search, but it takes focused effort and direct person to person contact to uncover them.

Working on your behalf, Aitx implements a well honed business acquisition search strategy to approach a highly targeted list of identified potential sellers. We make the owners of these companies aware that we represent a motivated and qualified acquirer specifically seeking a company in their industry. Our experience has proven it out time and again that this tailored and personal approach will generate significant activity. Even owners who haven’t previously considered selling their company often will engage when approached in this manner by a professional M&A firm. More often than most people think a business owner maybe ready to sell but just doesn’t know how to go about finding a buyer. Aitx understands how to approach an owner and make the first inquiry.
