Proprietary M&A Intelligence

Established in 2018 by a former private equity investment professional, NKP | M&A Insights is an independent intelligence provider serving investors and advisory firms active in private M&A markets.

We deliver proprietary, subscriber-only coverage of live and emerging M&A situations, supported by structured data on historical transactions, ownership developments, and valuation benchmarks.

NKP | M&A Insights serves professional participants across the M&A ecosystem who rely on early, accurate market intelligence.

Our subscriber base includes private equity funds, direct lenders, investment banks, corporate finance boutiques, law firms, audit and advisory firms, strategy consultancies, and transaction insurance providers.

NKP’s coverage differs from traditional providers along three dimensions: breadth, timing, and analytical approach.

First, we surface materially more relevant live situations by relying primarily on non-public sources and systematic signal monitoring, resulting in several times higher coverage density across sectors and size tiers within the markets we cover.

Second, situations are typically identified and verified at an earlier, pre-process stage, providing subscribers with earlier visibility than public or transaction-driven channels.

Finally, NKP is built by and for investment professionals. Our team’s financial background - and the firm’s origins in private equity - are reflected in an investor-centric, data-driven research model focused on decision-useful insight rather than journalistic reporting.

NKP focuses on proprietary M&A intelligence across the Nordics, DACH, and UK & Ireland, primarily covering lower mid-market and larger transactions.

On average, we surface 4–6 new actionable opportunities per weekday across these markets, typically several months before they reach public or traditional M&A news channels.

Our coverage spans live, coming, and paused processes, supported by structured historical transaction data and valuation benchmarks to provide context alongside timing signals.

NKP is a primary intelligence platform focused on non-public M&A processes across Northern Europe.

Our coverage is built through a combination of bilateral primary sources - including company owners, investors, and intermediaries - continuous monitoring of market signals, and internal verification and enrichment prior to publication.

We operate with strict source protection standards and never disclose sources without explicit permission.

NKP operates on a pure subscription model. Clients pay a fixed annual fee for access to our intelligence platform and coverage.

We do not charge for editorial coverage, receive referral or success fees, or participate in transactions. This structure ensures our incentives are aligned solely with delivering high-quality, decision-useful intelligence to our subscribers.

NKP is headquartered in Hellerup, Denmark.

Our team combines native language capabilities with financial and analytical backgrounds, supporting our deep regional focus across Northern Europe.
