00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.249
You want to research potential acquisition targets without a
public sale listing.

00:00:04.479 --> 00:00:08.183
Open Browse and Companies with a narrow sector and geography.

00:00:08.413 --> 00:00:12.906
This is company research, not confirmation of off-market
availability.

00:00:13.136 --> 00:00:19.626
Begin with characteristics that match the thesis and separate a
data signal from an owner’s expressed willingness to discuss
selling.

00:00:20.306 --> 00:00:25.612
Open Companies and use Filters for industry, country and relevant
company characteristics.

00:00:25.842 --> 00:00:30.799
Keep the criteria close to the actual project rather than
selecting every possible sector.

00:00:31.029 --> 00:00:34.593
Open a profile and compare available facts with your brief.

00:00:34.823 --> 00:00:39.247
Missing or old information needs confirmation from a current
authorised source.

00:00:39.477 --> 00:00:44.864
A research profile is not automatically a complete financial,
ownership or credit record.

00:00:45.544 --> 00:00:49.154
Open Signals and inspect Buying, Selling and Neutral.

00:00:49.384 --> 00:00:52.333
Treat them as research leads requiring context.

00:00:52.563 --> 00:00:58.856
Selling does not establish that the owner has agreed to sell;
Buying does not prove financing capacity.

00:00:59.086 --> 00:01:03.463
Identify the next fact to verify and save a useful search where
offered.

00:01:03.693 --> 00:01:09.939
Contact or transaction work must follow a separate reviewed
process, not an assumption based on a signal.

00:01:10.619 --> 00:01:15.402
Qualify the company and decide whether an authorised conversation
is appropriate.

00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:19.487
Confirm the owner’s interest before describing a target as
available.

00:01:19.717 --> 00:01:25.719
If preparing outreach, review audience, exclusions, wording and
costs before launch.

00:01:25.949 --> 00:01:34.773
The useful outcome is a researched, qualified target and a clear
next question, not a presumed off-market transaction or automatic
introduction.
