Proprietary Deal Flow
A focus on proprietary deal flow lies at the heart of the DealAssist program. Successful strategic acquisition requires extensive background research, effective contact management systems and procedures, dedicated professionals, and tenacity. Not glamorous, but highly effective.

Dinan & Company's unique program maximizes both the quality and the quantity of acquisition opportunities. The best acquisition candidates are not born on the auction block, but rather made from qualified research, hard work and one-on-one relationships.


Values Outside the Auction Process
Competitive auctions are antithetical to proprietary deal flow. By conducting acquisition negotiations on an exclusive, preemptive basis with target companies outside of a competitive auction process, we enable you to establish chemistry with management and shareholders before valuation and terms are discussed. During the process, we underscore your strengths, the quality of your organization, and the value that your firm offers beyond mere dollars.

The result: quiet, confidential and successful transactions at fair valuations.


Knowing Tomorrow's Sellers Today
Dinan & Company has established a database of more than 200,000 privately held middle-market manufacturing, distribution and service companies with sales in the $10 million to $500 million range. Because we maintain systematic contact with this middle market group, we are uniquely positioned to introduce our clients at the instant the shareholders consider a sale.

Our proprietary database offers an unparalleled comparative advantage in the acquisition search process. Additional targets are identified through direct industry research including trade publications, industry associations and other sources to further enhance the prospect list for the particular program.
