[splash image]Back to For Buyers

Unlike full-service investment banks, which offer many services and prefer the sell side on M&A transactions, Valufinder has deep experience on the buy side of transactions and has developed professional core competencies in this specific area.

I have been working with Valufinder now for 26 years, and I clearly find them to be one of the best in the business. They provide us with consistent, high quality, and proprietary deal flow, and they truly help facilitate the transaction until closing. These guys are much more than just brokers. They go the extra mile by listening to all sides and staying involved. They are facilitators in the truest sense of the word. - Jim McNair

Preeminence in Buy Side Searches

Few, if any, intermediaries in the middle market offer the combined resources of Valufinder. Single or small practitioners or "dabblers" can lack the combined resources, including manpower, databases, industry contacts, experience, and time, all of which are necessary to do a thorough job in proprietary prospecting. Our research abilities, technology resources, decades of experience and sophistication in identifying, contacting and qualifying sellers are second to none. In addition, our professionals have advised on hundreds of transactions in the middle market.

Not a "Loss Leader"

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 Valufinder, buy-side searching is not a sideline business. It is our business. It is where we make our reputation, every day.

Better to return and make a net, than to go down to the stream and merely wish for fish. - Chinese Proverb

Discretion and Confidentiality

Valufinder has won the trust and confidence of hundreds of LBO and strategic buyers by demonstrating professionalism, maintaining confidentiality and dealing honestly with all parties involved in a transaction.
