Private Equity Deal Origination Services
The CMF Difference
Focus
We are a 100-percent middle-market, buy-side deal sourcing team funneling proprietary and locally banked deals to you from numerous, non-standard sources.
Expertise
- Deep comprehension of entrepreneur and family business owner mentality
- Relationships with local investment bankers and brokers on the sell side
- Aggregated flow from various orientation sources creates regular slate of qualified options
- Supplementary consulting offering mitigates investment risk
Direct Searches on Your Behalf - We focus our dial-out, CEO contact efforts on smaller companies not as frequently contacted by other transaction finders. Typically these companies are “premarket” as they have not engaged investment bankers; this leads to non-auction scenarios.
Extensive Network Brings Deals to Us - Bankers, accountants, small local investment bankers and lawyers know CMF has extensive relationships with private equity funds in most industries. They bring opportunities to us on a regular basis, and we bring them to you.
Process and Methodology - Our three-step process ensures understanding of your search criteria and objectives. We understand your criteria, source every day, and through our “Private Equity Link”™ facilitate an introduction between the prospective seller and you.
Success Formula: A thorough comprehension of fund investment criteria, honed through regular contact with funds on multiple opportunities and combined with a focused “hunter” mentality, leads to more qualified opportunities.
