Deal Sourcing

Aleutian Acquisition Services employs a variety of resources to identify acquisition targets. We regularly communicate with contacts who we feel are likely to provide valuable leads:

1. The investment community: strong connections with hedge fund managers, private equity principals, mezza­nine funds, individual investors and business owners
   
   
2. Professional services firms: affiliations with major management consulting and law firms
   
   
3. Business intermediaries: relationships with over two hundred intermediaries who specialize in transactions within the firm’s target size range. They are made aware of ACP’s investment criteria, and many proactively present new deals on a regular basis
   
   
4. Extended efforts: for more difficult searches, in addition to the above we will locate potential targets through targeted mailings, trade shows, industry associations, MBA alumni networks, and other sources

Each week, the sourcing effort yields over two dozen new companies for our review, from which we conduct an initial due diligence screening on a selected subset.
