Finding Professional or Business Partners

Companies or professional firms wanting to grow and expand often need partners or collaborations to do this effectively. Such strategic decisions also need to be made without their intentions becoming known. Thus it is important that the search for a corporate, joint venture or professional partnership be carried out discreetly.

These include:

• A broad spectrum of sources, including those not readily available or known to find suitable candidates


• Helping to greatly reduce the substantial loss in management or professional time it takes to carry out such an exercise than if your company or firm is acting on its own


• Candidate searches confidentially to avoid day-to-day activities being disrupted or intentions becoming known by premature disclosure


• Screening of candidates, increasing the likelihood a transaction will close satisfactorily


• Introducing you and your colleagues to pre-committed parties, meaning less time loss on the less-committed

The Process

Pre-Search Development

• We first work with you and your team to understand in depth about your business, organization’s or professional firm’s activities and to assist in developing and refining strategic goals, and then


• Develop an initial range of prospective targets for you to review

The Search

• We and our associates then design a search model to fit your objectives which best meets your aims


• And create an anonymous profile of your activities and organisation which is sent to prospective targets


• To this is added intensive telephone screening carried out to obtain a reduced list of interested prospects


• Followed by a second round of follow-ups involving further telephone contact and personal visits


• Which leads to assembling a short list of seriously interested prospects, leading to first meetings between our client and prospective targets


• Overall progress reports are sent periodically to the client during the process

The Closing

• We are prepared, if you wish, to carry out final negotiations, assist in assessments, such as checking financial and other relevant information and drafting preliminary and final agreements


• During this process we are able to play a significant role as negotiators or advisors
