Newry Enables Faster Proprietary Deal Flow

Corporate development teams often find themselves overwhelmed by an extensive and uninspiring array of acquisition options. Even when valuable targets emerge, heavy competition from other strategic buyers can drive up the sale price and limit the deal’s attractiveness.

Newry’s intelligence-based discovery techniques streamline identification of proprietary corporate development targets that meet your M&A criteria, significantly reducing wasted effort. By leveraging process automation and open data as well as our expertise across markets, technologies, and products, we identify high-potential options 80% faster than internal teams.

We also prioritize building relationships with target owners to preserve your company’s reputation and lay the groundwork for favorable deal terms. Our meticulous insight-gathering and relationship development efforts enable our clients to make informed decisions and build trust with targets discreetly, preventing auction sales. While we are not brokers, our experience in collaborating with in-house teams and third-party advisors ensures seamless deal completion.

Newry’s Approach

Our intelligence-based methodology ensures a fruitful partnership with your corporate development team and advisors to build a robust M&A pipeline.

• Stage 1: Confirm Criteria & Identify Universe of Targets
  We start by confirming your key M&A criteria, segmenting targets, and assessing industries to determine the most attractive areas to pursue. We then scour open data sources to identify a universe of potential targets.
  Key Outcome: Initial target list segmented by market, function, and available financial criteria.
• Stage 2: Prioritize Candidates & Make Initial Outreach
  Next, we facilitate a prioritization process and develop in-depth target profiles to assess fit and attractiveness. Once we identify key parties at targets and begin tailored outreach, we manage the deal funnel process.
  Key Outcome: Prioritized pipeline based on all criteria and available information as well as NDAs with targets.
• Stage 3: Cultivate Relationships & Formalize Interest
  We cultivate relationships with key parties at targets, surface potential issues, and propose solutions. Once we’ve validated fit with your criteria, we facilitate introductions with your team and assist in term negotiations and valuation scenarios.
  Key Outcome: LOI/Term Sheets.
• Stage 4: Diligence & Deal Preparation
  Finally, we engage third-party consultants to support due diligence, assess risks, and assist in final negotiations on purchase price and deal structure.
  Key Outcome: Due diligence reports, deal contracts/agreements, and strategic partnerships as an alternative consideration (for non-PE clients).

Our process allows for a seamless handoff to your corporate development team and third-party advisors, culminating in closed deals.
