Corporate Development
Outsourced buy-side execution — approach, structuring, diligence, financing, and close — run as an extension of your team.
Most acquirers already know who they want to buy — what they lack is the internal capability to run the deal.
EQA serves as your outsourced corporate development team, executing the transaction from first approach through diligence, financing, and close — so you can grow through acquisition without building a full in-house M&A function.
An outsourced team, built for execution.
Approach & Positioning
When the target is already known, the first conversation sets the tone. We frame the opportunity, establish rapport with decision-makers, and get the right people to the table without souring a relationship you may rely on for years.
Structuring & Negotiation
We shape valuation, structure, and deal terms around your objectives, then lead negotiations to secure the best possible outcome while maintaining goodwill between parties who will work together well beyond close.
Diligence & Process Management
We run a disciplined diligence and workstream process — coordinating your legal, accounting, and tax advisors — so momentum never stalls and the transaction stays on schedule.
Financing & Close
We help identify and secure the debt, mezzanine, or equity financing the deal requires, and shepherd all parties and advisors through an efficient closing.
Sophisticated transaction representation, made accessible to the companies that need it most.
EQA provides transaction representation to successful, scalable companies that appeal to institutional buyers but often do not fit the client profile of traditional middle-market investment banks. The firm was founded to bring a level of knowledge, experience, and transaction sophistication to a market that stands to benefit from it the most.
“EQA understood our story and showed us the value of bringing that story to the market. They brought the right partners to the table and delivered an outcome that far exceeded our initial expectations.”
