How it works
Trades, regions, size, and anything you would rule out.
From the public register and their filed accounts. We write and we call. Nobody gets a list.
One owner, one buyer at a time. No auction.
Before each meeting
What the company does, its size and shape, what the owner wants for it and why now. From the register, the accounts and our own conversation with the owner.
