Dealmakers are facing unprecedented economic headwinds, with inflation, high interest rates, and uncertainty regarding cost and availability of capital impacting businesses worldwide. So, is it the time to put off your M&A plans, or go through with your long-term business strategies?
Well, most analysts predict an increase in deal activity in the second half of 2023. Moreover, according to recent research by Bain & Company examining acquisition activity during the global financial crisis of 2008-2009, companies which executed deals earned more in shareholder returns than those that were inactive in M&A.
Now may be the perfect moment to take advantage of synergies and economies of scale and strengthen your position in the sector. However, if you want to get a leg up on the competition and be the first to find exclusive acquisition opportunities, you’ll need to use the most efficient deal sourcing methods. That's where OutFlow comes in.
OutFlow’s innovative deal sourcing approach combines data mining, targeted marketing campaigns, and efficient outreach to create a continuous, scalable stream of M&A opportunities. The solution has already been successfully used by over 200 advisors, investment bankers, brokers, and PE firms, and they have a solution for corporate development teams too!
Morgan Stanley’s analysts predict an acceleration of M&A activity in the second half of 2023 and beyond, highlighting acquisition activity by large corporations as one of the main drivers. The three key industries which are likely to grow through M&A this year are healthcare, technology, and energy.
OutFlow encourages you to adopt a proactive approach to deal sourcing and utilize data-driven methods to pinpoint acquisition targets, as opposed to using traditional relationship-based sourcing and tedious manual research.
By outsourcing deal origination to OutFlow, you will not only eliminate time-consuming tasks and optimize your resources, but will also benefit from a hands-off approach with consistent results. The deal sourcing experts explain that as economic uncertainty impacts both acquirers and targets, decision-making becomes more difficult, and a high quality of pipeline inputs increases the chances of a successful deal.
