Testimonials

Real results from deal teams

dealspec supported us, alongside further verticals, in the analysis of the engineering market and adjacent segments: market development, consolidation dynamics, valuation levels and target mapping. This allowed us to significantly improve our sourcing activities, as well as publish articles and reports.

dealspec mapped the entire German care home market for us, including operators, facilities, shareholder structures and dependencies. On top of that came service offerings, bed capacity and an assessment of consolidation across the market. For the first time we had a complete picture of a fragmented market rather than isolated data points.

FAQ

Frequently asked Questions

What is dealspec's Research & Analytics service?

Defined research delivered as a finished work product. You bring a market, a vertical or a business model and we agree the deliverable, the scope and the deadline before work starts. Data is gathered from multiple sources, cross-checked and documented, so every figure can be traced when it is challenged. What you receive is built in your templates and ready to go into your own material.

Who is dealspec's Research & Analytics service for?

M&A Advisors, Private Equity and Search Funds, as well as MBI candidates, family offices and corporates who do M&A. Typical uses are underwriting a thesis before committing to a sector, preparing a pitch or deal materials and publishing market reports and articles under your own name.

What does a research deliverable by dealspec look like?

Whatever format the work is going into: a report, a slide section, a data set, a target map, or a combination. We agree the format during scoping, in your templates and style. Every deliverable comes with its sources and methodology documented.

Which sources does dealspec use?

Company registers and filings, financial databases, industry and association publications, regulatory sources, academic papers and primary research where the data does not otherwise exist. Sources are reconciled against each other rather than taken individually, and each figure in the deliverable is traceable to where it came from.

How long does a research project with dealspec take?

It depends on the scope, which is why the deadline is agreed before work starts. You get a fixed date and a fixed price with the scope.
