When looking to grow your company and potentially invest in mergers and acquisitions, it can be challenging to figure out the optimum way to do this. There are many different types of M&A support providers which are often assumed to be the same or thrust under the same category, but this is not accurate or helpful for you as a business person looking to make optimum decisions.
Between buy side firms, tool and data platforms and managed service providers like GVP, there is a raft of differences despite all helping with sourcing for buying and selling. Each has its own unique features, benefits and drawbacks. In this article, we will explore what these differences are and evaluate which is the best choice.
Buy side firms purchase investment securities and provide advice for buying for use within their own organisation. As such, they match deals with buyers that they work for and are accountable for themselves. Their fee structures and functions change, but the probability of close influences their operations. This means that they are not always reliable to deliver the best results for you, often working for their own interest.
Data and tool providers give you access to good intel and provide the platform for you to be able to use this data. This means that you are able to make informed actions based on a raft of information. This can be beneficial if you are hoping to stay in control of the sourcing and selling process. However, you are completely accountable for your own success when using these tools. The tools cannot do the work for you, they simply provide resources so that it can be done. This is not ideal for those who need help and expertise to support the process and make it more streamlined.
On the other hand, managed service providers are more aligned with your specific goals and criteria for deal origination.
