9 reasons for getting your company in M&A Insights

Direct exposure to top investment firms

Our client base count more than 160 of the top investment funds and M&A advisory firms that invest in companies based in the Nordics and DACH countries, who read our content every single day. Having them come to you, instead of the other way round, creates a favorable dynamic for a potential sale.

Entirely free and non-committing

As an independent research provider our sole revenue comes from subscription payments from the clients consuming our research, while company owners whose business we write about pay nothing and commit to nothing.

Risk-free pretesting of investor interest

Having your company covered in M&A Insights tends to generate significant inbound interest from potential buyers, however we never disclose our source (unless you want us to) so you can always refer to our coverage as unfounded "market rumors" if you decide not to act on the approaches you get.

Flexible case format and perspective

We cover interesting companies and investment opportunities from a variety of perspectives, including describing companies as a "success" story/case-study without any direct exit angle, so we can create awareness without putting a "for sale" sign on your business.

Obtain better valuation and terms

To get the best possible price and terms in case you were to sell the company you need multiple suitors competing for it - with more investors being aware of your business and the current opportunity, the more compelled they are to improve valuation and terms.

Off-the-record confidential dialogue

Our discussions with you are entirely confidential and off the record (unless you prefer that we make it known we talked to you), and together we will agree on the final format and angle of the article about your company. Normally we simply refer to "sources in the market", without ever disclosing who we talked to.

Free valuation and pricing data

We possess a very large database of previous company acquisitions, including who acquired what at which valuation levels, which we will happily share with you to give you a rough indication on how comparable businesses have been valued historically.

Subscription-only, controlled audience

Our content is exclusively made available to our paying subscribers, consisting of local and international investment funds and top-tier advisory firms, and are never made available publicly without prior explicit consent from you.

Mark-up/veto our draft article

After our initial, typically phone-based conversation, we draft the article for you to review, change as needed, and ultimately approve. If you came to us, and subsequently change your mind, we won't write about your company unless we hear about an actual ongoing sales process from 3rd party sources.

FAQs

Answers to questions you might have about M&A Insights from NKP.

What does M&A Insights do?

Established in 2018 by a former private equity investment manager, NKP | M&A Insights is a specialized market research firm, with a business model that is entirely based on subscription payment from clients, which rely on our articles for staying up-to-date on interesting companies, industries, that may represent a current or future investment opportunity.

Who are the clients/readers of M&A Insights?

Our fast growing and highly professional client base spans the entire mergers & acquisitions ecosystem, including local and international private equity funds, direct lenders, investment banks, corporate finance boutiques, law firms, auditing firms, strategy consultancies, and transaction insurance providers to name a few.

Why does M&A Insights want to talk to company owners?

As part of our primary research efforts we continuously contact, and get contacted by, owners of companies that we (as in our clients) find interesting, and quite often we have been approached directly by clients regarding more information about a specific company or industry that they have taken notice of and would like to know more about.

What is in it for me as a company owner?

Having us write about your company is a very efficient, free, and low-risk way to pretest interest among potential investors and acquirors without committing to anything officially. Simply lean back and decide for yourself what you want to do, if anything, with the inbound interest our coverage undoubtedly results in. We never disclose our sources, unless you want us to - most of our dialogue with company owners is informal and completely off-the-record.

What does the format of your articles look like?

We typically write 1-2 pages about the company and the current of future potential investment opportunity that it represents (if any). The more concrete we can be regarding financial performance, historical growth, and market positioning, the more compelling a "case" it will be to our clients, but the exact format is very much something we agree on together.

Submit a tip to M&A Insights (anonymously)

A good story can start anywhere, including with anonymous tips, but if you want to provide a meaningful tip for possible coverage in M&A Insights, you should share specific information (company name, investors etc.) and not general speculation. Depending on the level of details and credibility we may choose/not choose to write about it.
