How does VCN Connect structure pricing for its services?
For deal sourcing and marketing consulting, which work hand-in-hand, we charge a small monthly retainer plus a success fee when a deal closes. The monthly retainer starts only from the day we deliver your first prospect dossier. We only get paid when you get paid, keeping your overhead low. For other services such as data analytics, IT support, market research, or back-office assistance, pricing is customized based on the scope and complexity of the work.
What is a prospect dossier?
A prospect dossier is a comprehensive package containing all the information about a company, including the decision maker we spoke to, a summary of the last conversation, and detailed company and decision-maker information. It provides M&A firms with actionable insights for sell-side opportunities.
Is the prospect dossier shared with multiple firms or just me?
Each prospect dossier is exclusive to one M&A firm. It will only be shared with another firm if you specifically decline the opportunity or do not sign the deal within six months, ensuring your firm has a first-mover advantage on potential transactions.
How quickly can VCN Connect start providing prospect dossiers?
We begin delivering prospect dossiers 21 days after onboarding. This initial period allows our team to complete backend processes, prepare a targeted list of businesses tailored specifically to your firm, and ensure high-quality, relevant sell-side deal flow.
Which locations can VCN Connect source seller leads from?
VCN Connect sources sell-side opportunities from a wide range of countries, including USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, India, Morocco, and Tanzania. We provide targeted, high-quality seller leads tailored to your firm’s acquisition criteria across these regions.
