CORPORATE FINANCE.EU

The starting point for the reflection  

This website was created to become a necessary instrument for those involved into M&A. Particularly it wants to be the concrete application of what I’m preaching since I started my job in this field some years ago coming from a background of Stock Exchange quotations.

WE MUST GIVE LIQUIDITY to this market.  

Confidentiality like dogma, secrecy like limit

If we reflected well on the meaning of CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, on its content and the expectations that the customer has from the company at the moment he signs, we could surely say that CONFIDENTIALITY DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH SECRECY. Business opportunities are submitted to not more than a few people each time in order to decide if they are interested in or not. This is, to my opinion, deeply mistaken. The opportunities that we deal on behalf of our customers do not have to remain close to many of the professionals who engage themselves in this field, all very aware that the confidentiality is a dogma. . 

The proposal  

To create the space where everyone can post the Opportunities that is managing on behalf of own customers and render them notes to all the community of the M&A business (obviously not to them only because it is a BtoB activity). Therefore, it will be easier to find one contractor interested to estimate the deal. This would allow also to face to a triple motivation:

1.   To avoid conflict of interests: an Advisor should NEVER stay on both parts (vender - purchaser) for evident problems of conflict of interest.

2.   To repeat the great banks’ functioning: they have consisting trade arteries on the territory that interact with the operating team.

3.   Effective communication: there are currently 13 external professionals who work with me further on all the persons of the society in which I usually operate. Everyone necessarily demands to know what are "bubbles in pot", which is difficult to do constantly on personal basis, but much easier to bring it into action with the aid of instruments like Internet (technically constitution of reserved sub-Network).

Well, now with the technologies and thanks to newsletters, you’ll find every week in the website or, if you prefer in your mail box, all proposed operations from all the operators.  

The key point  

Here is the point: finally a liquid market where the opportunities are available for all the professionals, just as in stock exchange. Time needed to conclude a mandate will drastically go down, running out attendance periods to name an Advisor when the target society is already perfect will end, as well as the attempt of Advisor’s “disintermediation” from the client’s part in order not to pay the commission.

This website is only and exclusively for professionals.

Those who want to join this free platform, as you will see from regulations, must offer in exchange their own adhesion to the principles and values of transparency and correctness that are essential for a good business.  

So I am waiting for your numerous blind profiles (without any names of references to a particular person). But first remember to register yourself with your coordinates, so you can be contacted by colleagues eventually interested in further collaboration. .
