Referrals to you of Private Equity Buyers
We
can put your mid-market seller in front of virtually every equity group
actively buying companies in the USA. We target the equity groups
and their portfolio companies within our proprietary
database.
Our process ensures that your client will not be presented to a buyer
with whom you are already dealing; they will be excluded from our
agreement. You remain in absolute control since we do not
participate in the transaction, and we do not contact the buyer once we
have introduced it to you. Plexus will never contact the
seller. We do not email blast, and we do not post on the
Internet.
You will pay us a small percentage of your commission in the event you
successfully close the transaction with one of our buyers. We do
not collect a fee from the buyer.
Plexus Private Investor Database:
The Plexus Private Investor Database consists of 900 screened
and individually
verified private equity and investor groups. It is a database
built on broker and mid-market M&A operating experience, and is
what we use to conduct buyer searches for referrals. The
Investors target companies of all sizes – from the smallest ($5
million revenue or
$500,000 cash flow) to the largest (excess of $200 million). They
are all included. It is strictly a buyer database and excludes venture capital
firms, pure mezzanine funds, management consultants, investment banks,
fund of funds, M&A intermediaries, and international investment
groups that do not invest in the U.S.
Our Database is also available for licensing to you. We license
two versions: the Gold Database
and the Platinum Database.
The database is in an Excel format so that you download directly to
your computer for permanent use and permits easy sorting and
manipulation of data. Monthly updates are included.
Gold Database

- Names
- Websites
- Contact information: 88% have email addresses and 66%

remaining 12%.

- Industries targeted for investment or acquisition by
each Investor Group
- Minimum investment parameters for investments in
industries in which the Investor Group is not now invested (Platforms)

- Amount of equity to be invested by the Investor
Group

- Any geographical preferences

Platinum Database
Includes
all the private investor information in the Gold Database, plus
The following information about the portfolio companies held by private
investor groups:
- Name of portfolio
companies held by each Equity Group (Note: Generally, if the
Investor Group owns more than 50 portfolio companies, the specific
names and related information of individual portfolio companies will
not be given. Instead, this information will be summarized to
permit easy searching.)
- The NAICS code or
codes (see of each portfolio company as researched by Plexus).
- Description of the business being conducted by the
portfolio companies to permit key word searching
- Industry segments within which the portfolio
companies operate

Plexus Advisory
and Marketing Services
Plexus also provides advisory and marketing services. We will
assist or even take the lead role in writing a Descriptive Memorandum
and packaging the offering documents to be sent to potential
buyers. We will email the offering materials to each of the
equity group within its Database, with particular emphasis on those
that appear most likely, based on their current search activities and
portfolio, to have an interest in the seller’s industry.
Plexus will work closely with the originating broker and provide follow
up services as necessary.
Referrals to
you of Potential Seller Clients
In the course of its normal marketing activities Plexus talks with
companies that have an interest in selling or raising capital.
These will be referred to Licensees of either the Gold or Platinum
Database within the seller’s area.
