Orion Capital Group works on behalf of buyers to find companies for their own acquisition or investment. We offer a full range of acquisition services including company search, valuation assessment, acquisition process assistance, and due diligence planning and implementation.
We tailor our company searches to each buyer’s unique criteria of industry, revenue range, cash flow, location, valuation, management capabilities and other parameters. Before presenting opportunities to our buyers, Orion Capital Group vets them through an initial due diligence process to ensure quality of the opportunity and a match against the established criteria. We therefore serve a valuable role to clients who are aggravated by the time wasted reviewing deals not suited to their needs. We also function as a communication buffer between our clients and sellers until a client decides to take the lead in pursuing the deal. Our clients’ identities are held in strict confidence, and only revealed to companies and other intermediaries with their consent.
Orion Capital Group employs a variety of resources to identify acquisition targets. We regularly communicate with contacts who we feel are likely to provide valuable leads:
- The investment community: strong connections with hedge fund managers, private equity principals, mezzanine funds, individual investors and business owners
- Professional services firms: affiliations with major management consulting and law firms
- Business intermediaries: relationships with over two hundred intermediaries who specialize in transactions within the firm’s target size range. They are made aware of Orion Capital Group’s investment criteria, and many proactively present new deals on a regular basis.
- Extended efforts: for more difficult searches, in addition to the above we will locate potential targets through targeted mailings, trade shows, industry associations, MBA alumni networks, and other sources
Each week, the sourcing effort yields over two dozen new companies for our review, from which we conduct an initial due diligence screening on a selected subset.
Orion Capital Group reviews over a dozen companies each week for our buyers. We locate opportunities through the investment community, affiliations with professional services firms, business intermediaries, industry associations, targeted mailings, alumni networks and other sources. Our efforts yield a varied set of high-quality buyout and investment opportunities.
Once a potential acquisition candidate is identified, we are available to work alongside the buyer during the assessment process and post-acquisition strategic planning. We have developed a comprehensive due diligence process to uncover the risks and objectively assess the prospects of each opportunity.
