Based on its years of experience in working with both buyers and sellers, Valufinder initiates a systematic campaign to identify candidates, which can include the following:

• For buyers who know the industry(s) they are interested in, Valufinder will conduct a far-reaching and thorough search of obvious and obscure databases and trade sources to identify potential candidates.
• For a buyer interested in specific ideas or roll ups, we can develop original acquisition ideas because we talk to many different companies and industries. Valufinder is constantly scrutinizing acquisition opportunities that come from our M&A conversations and industry trends and reports, as well as aggregating changing buyer criteria to note trends and monitoring aging buyer portfolios and news articles.
• Once an industry is identified, Valufinder reaches out to industry executives, and buyers and sellers within the industry with whom we have spoken over the years, to see if they know of any appropriate candidates.
• We then prioritize with the buyer’s help, candidates based on available data and websites. Criteria may include product information, facility locations, approximate sales size, and other industry and company intelligence.
