Finding Targets in Asia
We help European buyers and their advisors access acquisition opportunities across Asian markets — from live sell-side mandates to proactive target sourcing.
Designed for European buyers seeking relevant acquisition opportunities in Asia.
Strategic Acquirers
European corporations and mid-market companies looking to expand in Asia — whether to access local technology, raw materials, distribution, or vertically integrate along their supply chain. We source and qualify acquisition targets that match your strategic acquisition criteria.
PE — Standalone Investments
Private equity firms evaluating standalone acquisition opportunities in Asia. We present pre-qualified sell-side mandates with confirmed seller appetite for European buyers.
PE — Add-On Acquisitions
PE firms seeking Asian add-on targets for existing portfolio companies. We screen opportunities based on your platform logic and facilitate introductions to relevant sell-side advisors.
Accessing relevant deal flow in Asia is not a research problem — it’s a relationship problem. The most attractive opportunities are held by local advisors who operate through personal networks. Without trusted local access, they remain out of reach.
Why acquiring in Asia requires local presence and trusted relationships.
Relationship-driven deal flow
In Asia — and particularly in China — business runs on Guanxi: deep, trust-based personal relationships. Sell-side advisors share their best mandates with people they know and trust. Building these relationships requires physical presence, cultural fluency, and time. There is no shortcut from abroad.
Invisible mandate pipeline
Many attractive sell-side mandates in Asia never reach international platforms or databases. They circulate within local advisor networks — shared over dinner, not over email. Accessing this pipeline requires someone who is part of these circles.
Sorting signal from noise
Not every sell-side mandate that circulates in Asia is worth pursuing. Some are poorly structured, some sellers are not genuinely open to international buyers, and some advisors lack the experience to run a credible cross-border process. We know which mandates are real — and which ones waste your time.
Bridging two worlds
Even when a deal looks right on paper, bringing a European buyer and an Asian seller together requires someone who understands both sides — expectations around timing, process, communication, and deal structure. Misalignment on any of these can derail a transaction before it starts.
We connect European buyers with acquisition opportunities in Asia through two complementary approaches — curated access to live sell-side mandates and proactive target sourcing through our local network.
