Deal Advisory

Deal Origination & Early Access

In the world of M&A, deal origination plays a pivotal role in identifying strategic opportunities for businesses to expand and thrive. Among the various approaches, one prominent method is bolt-on acquisition, which involves the integration of a complementary business to enhance an existing company's capabilities and market position. At DRAX, we excel in deal origination, offering comprehensive services tailored to suit the unique needs of our clients.

Deal origination is the process of sourcing and identifying potential investment opportunities for private equity firms and businesses seeking to expand through acquisitions. It involves diligently exploring the market landscape to discover synergistic targets that align with the acquirer's strategic objectives. Bolt-on acquisitions have gained popularity due to their potential to fuel growth. These acquisitions allow companies to integrate a smaller, but strategically valuable, business into their operations. The goal is to increase market share, expand product offerings, and improve overall efficiency by capitalising on synergies, economies of scale, and shared expertise.

Providing a Competitive Edge

Our primary deal origination is supported by our objective data-driven “AI” programmes. Recording accuracy well above 70% provides our clients with a clear competitive advantage if they want to get ahead of IMs for platform investments, or drive their acquisition strategy by identifying the most attractive bolt on’s.

Conversely, our Leadership Capital Analytics Platform supports the analysis we undertake for assets already within the private equity cycle developing insights on leadership and exit timing.

We lead with our ideas and support our clients to provide a competitive advantage.

IT'S NOT ALCHEMY...

We work before corporate finance is appointed, providing our clients with a material time advantage to develop their understanding and level of conviction.
We can’t create origination but what we can do is read the signs to create opportunities.
We work in advance of advisors not against them.
Idea origination is part of our DNA.
