A key challenge companies face scouting for takeover targets (for
mergers and acquisitions) is to find deals that are not already
on the market. Regulatory restrictions, a general paucity of suitable
targets and high pricing are other challenges. Therefore companies
seek research services, which can spot, identify and short-list
suitable targets well aligned to their strategy.
