1. Research, identify and refine prospect list
The first phase of research involves mining our proprietary database and refining initial target lists into a focused group of prospects that match your strategic goals. Additional targets are identified via traditional business information services and through direct industry research including trade publications, industry associations and other sources. Finally, our research staff reviews prospect company revenues, business operations, ownership structure, employees and other pertinent information.

2. Make exclusive contact on your behalf
Dinan & Company staff then personally contacts the target company shareholders on your exclusive behalf. Our proven contact management system includes establishing shareholder interest, determining appropriate follow-up and initiating relationships between our staff and prospect shareholders. Upon indication of affirmative interest, we provide appropriate client background information and diligently follow up to solidify interest and obtain prospect evaluation materials. These materials typically include three years of audited financial data and interim statements, product or capabilities brochures and any other information deemed necessary for initial review and evaluation of prospect.

3. Present evaluation report
Dinan & Company works with the shareholders to summarize the company operations and background and determine recast EBIT/EBITDA, detailed addback information, customers/ distribution lines, patents/processes, growth objectives, facilities/employees and motivation/valuation. When this process is completed, we prepare a consistent and uniform report on each acquisition candidate to provide our client with the most efficient prospect analysis possible.

4. Participate, as needed, in negotiation process
We are committed to helping clients facilitate acquisition negotiations with the ultimate goal of consummating transactions at the best purchase price and terms available. While a client is actively interested in and negotiating with a prospect, Dinan & Company, will make every professional effort to maintain exclusive negotiations and will not introduce the prospect to other prospective purchasers. Because we respect our clients‚ privacy and authority, we recognize our level of involvement in negotiations is at the sole discretion and direction of the client.
