Reassuring Your Clients: Leveraging Dealsuite for Better M&A Outcomes

Imagine this: your client, a mid-sized manufacturing company, has come to you with a simple request—to keep the sale of their business strictly within your network. They are concerned about confidentiality, wary of too many people knowing the business is up for sale. Understandably, they believe that by limiting exposure, they’re maintaining control over the process. You, as their trusted M&A advisor, are confident that your network is robust enough to find a buyer. But is this the best approach for maximizing the value of their business?

Balancing caution with opportunity

It’s natural for clients to be cautious. The fear of sensitive information leaking, or even competitors catching wind of a sale, can make clients hesitant to share too much. However, keeping the process confined to a small circle may unintentionally limit the potential for finding the ideal buyer—and the best deal.

"I was really curious to see what opportunities were out there beyond our industry. I want my organization and employees to take advantage of as many market opportunities as possible. That's why, like Jacques de Vries from Indus Overname, I thought it was a good idea to list the deal on Dealsuite. And it definitely didn’t disappoint us—quite the opposite." - Marjan Quekel‍

Introducing Dealsuite: confidential, professional, and selective

This is where Dealsuite comes into play. The platform is built specifically for professionals like you, addressing these very concerns with precision. Dealsuite is not a public marketplace; it’s a highly selective network of verified M&A advisors, PE firms, and corporate buyers. Only professionals who meet strict admission criteria can access the platform, ensuring that your client’s information is safeguarded from prying eyes.

Maintaining control while expanding reach

The control remains firmly in your hands. You decide what information to share and with whom. It can be as limited as a general description and last year's revenue. In fact, you can restrict access to specific buyers who align with your client’s requirements, maintaining discretion without sacrificing visibility.

"Dealsuite is a useful tool for spotting opportunities alongside our proactive approach. In fact, I’m not sure we would have come across Solid Services without the platform." - Gijs Marbus 

"The company was offered to us by an advisor we hadn’t worked with before and was located in a region where we hadn’t yet initiated any discussions with other parties.” - Gijs Marbus

Discovering new buyers: beyond your personal network

Even though you may have a strong network, consider the possibility that the perfect buyer might be someone you haven't encountered yet—perhaps an international buyer willing to pay a premium due to strategic interests or differing market dynamics. Such opportunities are often missed when the sale is kept within a confined circle. Dealsuite opens the door to a broader audience without compromising your client's need for confidentiality.

Efficiency at its best: time-saving and strategic

Moreover, tapping into a broader network can have another significant benefit: time efficiency. Instead of reaching out to dozens of individual contacts, you can use Dealsuite to streamline the process, quickly identifying the most relevant buyers. This allows you to focus on what you do best—advising your client on the best deal structure and strategy.

Conclusion: a trusted extension of your capabilities

In essence, Dealsuite enhances your existing network. It’s a tool that complements your capabilities, enabling you to cast a wider net while maintaining the level of discretion your client expects. This isn't just about getting more eyes on the project; it's about ensuring that the right eyes see it. It’s about maximizing the value of your client’s business by exploring every potential avenue and giving them the best possible outcome.

The next time a client hesitates to go beyond your personal network, reassure them: Dealsuite is designed with their concerns in mind. It’s not just a platform; it’s a discreet, professional extension of your own capabilities, empowering you to serve your client’s best interests more effectively.
