Outsourcing an acquisition search is more cost effective and time efficient than hiring a recent MBA graduate to focus solely on prospecting. While very successful in school, young MBA's have no hands-on experience in M&A, and their learning curve in getting up to speed can be expensive - not only in time and money - but in lost or mishandled opportunities. Outsourcing also saves the buyer the cost of investing in expensive research tools.
