Whether you’re pursuing a single strategic acquisition or orchestrating a multi-year Buy & Build program, we deliver clarity, structure, and executional horsepower — from idea to closing.

Defining the Blueprint

Success begins with alignment. We collaborate closely with you to design your growth playbook — ensuring each acquisition serves a defined strategic objective.We help you:

Refine your investment thesis and value creation logic.
Define target or platform criteria and ideal acquisition profiles (size, geography, capability gaps, etc.).
Devise a Buy & Build roadmap, including adjacency mapping, potential acquisition clusters, and exit visibility.
Identify key levers: synergy potential, integration ease, and timeline feasibility.

This upfront work not only sets direction — it enables smarter, faster decisions down the line.

Our Buy Side Process

The Compass team helps strategic buyers and platform plays find the right targets to create value through M&A.

We do this with a systematic and structured approach.

Strategy

We convert ambition into an investable mandate and a “preferred buyer” narrative that opens doors with founders and targets.

Sourcing & Screening

We create proprietary deal flow and narrow it down to targets that fit your playbook.

Initial Evaluation

We run NDAs and first conversations, do the weeding out process for you, so you can focus on actionable targets that meet your criteria.

Negotiate Term Sheet

After selection of target(s), we drive to a term sheet that aligns economics, structure, and incentives—and secures exclusivity.

Due Diligence

We coordinate advisers, manage data flow, and keep negotiating leverage intact.

Deal Negotiation to Closing

We support you with the structuring of the deal and the negotiation of long-form agreements to signing and closing.
