1 | Transparent Fee Structure and Aligned Interest

-

2 | Targeted Advice
We partner with our clients to define their acquisition criteria, and we don’t shy away from any acquisition search, whether it’s a highly specific thesis or a broad, global mandate.
Every member of our team brings at least a decade of hands-on M&A experience, sourcing and executing deals. We strongly believe that creating high-value target lists requires real M&A expertise, to distinguish good deals from bad ones. Unlike other buy-side firms that rely on research associates or sales staff with no deal experience to build you a pipeline of targets, leaving you most of the heavy lifting, we own the whole sourcing process from start to finish.
3 | Non-Invasive Approach
We keep our clients focused on their core business and cut out distractions until real deal opportunities emerge. Addegy takes on the tedious, time-consuming work of screening the entire market for M&A targets - so you can focus only on the ones that truly fit and are actionable.
We handle the noise, freeing you to double down on high-value initiatives instead of wasting time on dead ends or “green” prospects that never convert. Addegy will connects you exclusively with owners who are pre-qualified against your criteria and motivated to sell.
4 | Proprietary Opportunities
Addegy identifies and engages leading SMEs that have not publicly expressed an intent to sell or initiated a marketing process. Operating primarily on targeted search sponsor mandates, we provide company owners with full transparency regarding our client’s identity, scale, and specific interest in their business.
Our high value/high touch model is readily differentiated from that of other buy-side firms that are not capable of identifying the interested potential Sellers
For years, Addegy has delivered proprietary deal flow to its clients—and we are confident this will continue.
5 | Depth of Research & Scalability
Addegy leverages the most robust research resources available, including a unique array of paid subscription and public domain sources, to understand the target industry and develop a list of pre-qualified prospects. Our methodology has evolved with technology, combining traditional business databases and old-school methods with modern Artificial Intelligence technology and the latest web scrapping tools or search engines.
Each targeted search generates a unique list of approximately 50-250 prospect companies that align with the optimal attributes we've defined together. Our job is to identify the most actionable companies from this list and, by demonstrating the compelling value of a partnership with you, secure you an introduction and exclusive discussions with their owners.
Our goal is to feed your appetite. We want to bring you as much acquisitions you want and have had clients close more than 10 add-ons over our mandate period.
6 | Confidentiality & Unconflicted Advice
Addegy is committed to partnering with its clients as a virtual extension of their internal business development efforts, and will maintain the confidentiality of information received from each client, including information regarding industry sectors of interest, investment thesis, and target financial information.
Many investment banks take on buy side searches as a courtesy to clients and to win other business, such as sell-side transactions or financings. They often lack a complete understanding and commitment of the resources necessary to succeed and instead tend to focus on large deals, which can absorb their enormous overheads. At Addegy, buy-side searching is not a sideline business. It is our business. It is where we make our reputation, every day.
For us every client is important and each engagement is unique.
