工作流程

Step 1: Understand the Target

步骤1:了解目标公司

  • Company description, sector, and business model
  • Revenue, EBITDA, and growth profile
  • Key assets and capabilities (IP, customer relationships, geographic footprint, team)
  • Expected valuation range
  • Seller preferences (strategic vs. financial, management continuity, timeline)
  • 公司描述、所属行业及商业模式
  • 营收、EBITDA及增长态势
  • 核心资产与能力(IP、客户关系、地域覆盖范围、团队)
  • 预期估值区间
  • 卖方偏好(战略买家vs财务买家、管理层延续性、时间线)

Step 2: Strategic Buyers

步骤2:战略买家

Identify strategic acquirers across categories:
Direct Competitors
  • Companies in the same space that would gain market share
  • Rationale: Revenue synergies, eliminate competitor, scale
Adjacent Players
  • Companies in adjacent markets that could expand into the target's space
  • Rationale: Product extension, cross-sell, new market entry
Vertical Integrators
  • Customers or suppliers that could integrate vertically
  • Rationale: Supply chain control, margin capture, strategic lock-in
Platform Builders
  • Large companies building a platform in the space through M&A
  • Rationale: Tuck-in acquisition, fill capability gap
For each strategic buyer, assess:

识别各类战略收购方:
直接竞争对手
  • 同领域可获取市场份额的公司
  • 核心理由:营收协同效应、消除竞争对手、扩大规模
相邻领域玩家
  • 可拓展至目标公司所在领域的相邻市场企业
  • 核心理由:产品延伸、交叉销售、新市场切入
垂直整合方
  • 可进行垂直整合的客户或供应商
  • 核心理由:供应链管控、利润获取、战略锁定
平台构建者
  • 通过并购在该领域搭建平台的大型企业
  • 核心理由:补全型收购、填补能力缺口
针对每个战略买家,评估以下维度:

High/Med/LowActive/Moderate/NoneA/B/C

Step 3: Financial Sponsors

步骤3:财务投资方

Identify PE/financial buyers:
Platform Investors
  • Sponsors looking for a new platform in this sector
  • Criteria: Fund size, sector focus, deal size range
Add-on Buyers
  • Sponsors with existing portfolio companies that could acquire the target as a bolt-on
  • Identify the specific portfolio company and synergy rationale
Growth Equity
  • For earlier-stage or high-growth targets
  • Minority vs. majority preference
For each sponsor:

  • 筛选标准:基金规模、行业聚焦、交易规模范围

  • 明确具体投资组合公司及协同理由
成长型股权基金
  • 适用于早期或高增长阶段的目标公司
  • 偏好少数股权vs多数股权
针对每个投资方,评估以下维度:

Step 4: Prioritization

步骤4:优先级划分

Tier the buyer list:
  • Tier 1 (5-10): Highest strategic fit, proven acquirers, clear rationale — contact first
  • Tier 2 (10-15): Good fit but less obvious — contact in second wave
  • Tier 3 (10-20): Possible but lower probability — contact if process needs broadening
将买方名单分级:
  • 一级买家(5-10家):战略匹配度最高、有并购经验、理由明确——优先联系
  • 二级买家(10-15家):匹配度良好但理由不够突出——第二波联系
  • 三级买家(10-20家):有可能性但概率较低——若流程需扩大范围再联系

Step 5: Contact Mapping

步骤5:联系人梳理

For each Tier 1 buyer:
  • Key decision maker (CEO, Corp Dev head, Partner)
  • Relationship status (existing relationship, cold outreach, need introduction)
  • Known preferences or constraints (size, geography, structure)
  • Best approach channel
针对每个一级买家:
  • 关键决策者(CEO、企业发展部负责人、合伙人)
  • 关系状态(已有合作、陌生触达、需要引荐)
  • 已知偏好或限制条件(规模、地域、交易结构)
  • 最佳沟通渠道

Step 6: Output

步骤6:输出成果

  • Excel workbook with:
    • Strategic buyers tab (sorted by tier)
    • Financial sponsors tab (sorted by tier)
    • Contact mapping for Tier 1
    • Summary statistics (total buyers by tier, by type)
  • One-page buyer universe summary for the engagement letter or pitch
  • Excel工作簿,包含:
    • 战略买家工作表(按优先级排序)
    • 财务投资方工作表(按优先级排序)
    • 一级买家联系人梳理表
    • 汇总统计数据(各层级、各类型买家总数)
  • 适用于委托函或推介材料的一页式买方范围摘要

Important Notes

重要提示

  • Quality over quantity — a focused list of 30-40 well-researched buyers beats a list of 200 names
  • Research recent M&A activity — buyers who just did a deal in the space are either hungry for more or tapped out
  • Check for antitrust concerns with direct competitors — flag any that might face regulatory issues
  • Financial sponsors: check fund vintage and deployment pace — a fund nearing end of investment period may be more motivated
  • Always ask the seller if there are buyers they want included or excluded
  • Update the list as the process progresses — move buyers between tiers based on feedback
  • 质量优先于数量——一份经过深入调研的30-40家精准买家名单远胜于200家泛泛的名单
  • 调研近期并购活动——刚完成该领域交易的买家要么仍有收购需求,要么已无余力
  • 排查直接竞争对手的反垄断顾虑——标记可能面临监管问题的买家
  • 财务投资方:核查基金成立年限及投资进度——临近投资期结束的基金可能更有动力
  • 务必询问卖方是否有希望纳入或排除的买家
  • 随着流程推进更新名单——根据反馈调整买家层级
