By registering as a buyer, you may obtain additional information on specific companies. After completing an initial buyer information profile and executing an IBG Specific Non-Disclosure Agreement a qualified investor may obtain an IBG Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) on a subject company (approval by the subject company may be necessary in some cases). Please complete the form below to express your interest.

Buying a business is not a decision that anyone reaches lightly, and we want our buyers to have as much information at their fingertips as possible. IBG’s Investor Relations Department processes all inquiries for information on available businesses for sale. In addition, IBG registration provides the following resources to assist in your search for investment opportunities:

• Prompt access to information on currently available investment opportunities
• Direct notification by email of new opportunities meeting your acquisition requirements
• IBG’s Monthly Acquisition Update, which contains a current report of available opportunities
• Referrals to IBG’s network of financing resources and proven consultants in a variety of specializations

IBG’s resources include a full-time staff of professionals specializing exclusively in mergers and acquisitions. Cutting-edge technology and research capabilities are at your command to locate specific acquisition targets through IBG’s Acquisition Search Program, which identifies platform companies and/or add-on acquisitions to enhance portfolio holdings. Our Acquisition Search Program can help you answer such questions as:

• Where can I find the ideal acquisition targets?
• How can I avoid the competitive auction process?
• How can I best approach target companies?
• What is the acquisition target’s market value?
• How do I structure a transaction?
• Why is IBG more successful in generating prospects?

IBG’s Acquisition Search Program will make your acquisition process more effective and economical. Key advantages of this program include the following:

• Our professional staff multiplies your efforts in researching and discreetly contacting acquisition candidates throughout the world.
• Business owners respond to established M&A firms because they understand the inquiry is credible, not a competitor seeking information.
• Qualifying candidates provide confidential operating information to IBG to assist with your initial decision-making. Your identity and proprietary information may be protected as confidential, as is appropriate to the search and to your objectives.
• For candidates of interest, we will evaluate the seller’s strengths and weaknesses, business enterprise value and motivations for selling, then recommend the best negotiating position for a transaction offer.
• In completing a transaction, we are available to participate in the transaction team to orchestrate the due diligence process all the way through to a successful closing.

The Acquisition Search Program is offered on a retained-services basis, with a success fee payable upon a completed transaction. IBG team members are incentivized to perform in a highly responsive and creative manner resulting in a successful transaction.
