Why Work with Northeastern Advisors

Frequently Asked Questions About Buy-Side M&A Advisory

A buy-side M&A advisor represents the acquirer throughout the transaction, from acquisition strategy and target identification to initial outreach, valuation, negotiation, due diligence coordination and closing. Northeastern Advisors works with strategic buyers, private equity firms, family offices and entrepreneurs seeking acquisitions.
A retained search is a dedicated mandate to identify and approach businesses that match a buyer’s criteria. Our retained clients receive an exclusive review period for presented opportunities before we introduce those opportunities to other buyers. Monthly retainers are credited toward the transaction success fee if an acquisition closes, subject to the engagement agreement.
Fees depend on the scope of work and engagement terms. Retained searches typically combine a monthly retainer with a success fee, with retainers credited against that fee at closing. Retained search success-fee rates are generally lower than those for non-retained assignments. Contact us to discuss terms for your acquisition mandate.
