DEALPREDICTOR

Identify the next deal before the market knows about it.

DealPredictor leverages the BusinessGraph to identify transaction opportunities early. Forecasts regarding sales, acquisitions, and capital requirements are consolidated within a single application. This generates transparent insights into which companies are becoming relevant, when an approach makes strategic sense, and which of your existing contacts can be used to initiate it.

THE CHALLENGE

Reacting only when the process is already underway means arriving too late.

By the time a company enters the market, the competition is already in full swing. The decisive work happens beforehand: identify which companies are approaching a sale, an acquisition, or financing needs. Establish contact through your own clients before an advisory mandate is awarded. 

Late signals

Intentions to buy or sell usually only become apparent once a formal process has already been initiated.

Lengthy longlists

Thousands of formally matching companies must be manually vetted, evaluated, and prioritized.

Cold outreach

Even when there is a clear trigger, it often remains unclear which existing contacts from your own network can enable a qualified introduction.

FEATURES

Three predictive models that reveal where market momentum is emerging.

DealPredictor evaluates companies along the triggers that set the stage for a transaction. All forecasts are derived from data within the BusinessGraph and have been developed and calibrated against actual historical events.

Corporate Sale
Prediction

Indicates the probability of a company being acquired by a third party.

Corporate Acquisition
Prediction

Forecasts the likelihood of a corporate group acquiring an equity interest itself.

Capital Raise Index

Indicates the probability that a company will require capital in the future.

IN BRIEF

The DealPredictor.

Discover how M&A advisors use the Palturai DealPredictor to identify which companies are selling, which buyers are active, and which path leads directly to the decision-maker.

HOW IT WORKS

From market hypothesis to a prepared meeting in four steps.

01

Define search criteria

Narrow down the relevant market in the BusinessGraph by industry, size, region, and additional criteria.

02

Identify triggers

Sale, acquisition, and capital forecasts, as well as cash events, show which companies are approaching a transaction or financing round.

03

Evaluate targets

Assess company valuation, ownership structures, and transaction history within the context of their relationships.

04

Prepare access

Business contacts and the Connection Check show who is behind a target company and which of your clients, mandates, or contacts can provide an introduction.

USE CASES

A single application for both sides of the deal.

DealPredictor supports standard workflows in deal sourcing. Each view consolidates the information essential for selection, evaluation, and outreach.

SELL SIDE – Which companies qualify as acquisition targets?

The Corporate Sale Prediction prioritizes the market by sales probability and reveals candidates before a formal process is initiated.

BUY SIDE – Which parties qualify as potential buyers?

For a sell-side mandate, the Corporate Acquisition Prediction identifies the circle of likely acquirers – even for lower transaction volumes.

FINANCING – Where is capital required?

The Capital Raise Index and cash events highlight where financing, an equity investment, or a partial sale is imminent.

YOUR ADDED VALUE

Shorter longlists, earlier discussions.

DealPredictor shifts the workload from research to evaluation. Instead of working through a broad market, deal teams focus on targets with a verifiably higher conversion probability.

More than one in three companies

In the evaluation, more than one in three companies in the highest tier of the Corporate Sale Prediction was actually sold within two years – compared to around one percent in the lowest tier.

Half of all acquisitions from just ten percent of the list

The top ten percent of the acquisition forecast accounted for roughly half of all completed acquisitions; the top twenty percent accounted for approximately 71 percent.

Earlier access

Candidates come into focus before a sales process is initiated and a mandate is awarded.

Warmer outreach

Initial contact is established through an existing connection within your own client base rather than via a cold inquiry. The rationale, structure, and path of access remain demonstrably documented throughout.
