The best opportunities are rarely advertised. People who work inside a sector often know about them first.
Businesses that come to market through a formal sale process attract many bidders. Opportunities found earlier, through relationships, can be discussed on better terms for both sides.
Knowing the sector
Specialists understand the economics, the operators and the pressures in their sector. They can spot a well-run business that would benefit from support before anyone else does.
Trusted relationships
Owners are more likely to start a confidential conversation with someone they know and respect than with a stranger.
A clear brief
A network works best when everyone knows what to look for. Clear criteria, and prompt feedback on every introduction, keep the network engaged.
Moving quickly
When an opportunity is right, being able to respond quickly and clearly is often what wins the owner’s confidence.
