M&A Target Identification and Qualification Services
Victanis offers a comprehensive service for identifying and qualifying potential target companies based on the criteria discussed with you. Using our extensive industry knowledge in Europe, we create a longlist of possible targets and apply a pragmatic ranked qualification system to help narrow it down to a shortlist of suitable targets.
We provide detailed reasoning for each company's classification, ensuring you understand why we consider it a top, mid-tier, or lower priority. All steps of this phase are well-documented, and the resulting long list of qualified targets is reviewed and refined with your input to ensure alignment with your strategy.
Tailored Framework for Identifying and Qualifying Acquisition Targets
Before starting our research, we take the time to fully understand your criteria and objectives for acquiring a company. We reflect on your goals using our deep industry and market knowledge, ensuring a realistic balance between your criteria and openness to potential market adaptations.
To identify target companies, we leverage various sources, enriching the list with available business and legal data. Typically, our long list consists of 50-100 companies, each qualified and ranked using an A-B-C scheme.
This qualification process goes beyond just published figures; for example, we also assess the ownership structure to determine whether a transaction seems more feasible. The long list becomes the foundation for discussion, where we explain the reasons behind our qualification criteria and invite your feedback on the classification. Once the longlist is reviewed with you, we finalise a shortlist of suitable target companies to contact and approach, ensuring each aligns with your strategic objectives.
Our team consists of seasoned professionals with deep industry networks and sector-specific expertise, ensuring every project is backed by strategic insight and returns of experience.
With extensive knowledge of the countries and cultures we operate in, we succeed in matching the unique dynamics of each market and business case and in delivering seamless and respectful cross-border projects.
We offer a hands-on, project-driven approach to strategy and M&A, specializing in cross-border transactions with a focus on delivering tangible results through tailored, detail-oriented execution.
