For M&A Advisors & Investment Banks
Vareth is an additional distribution channel for sell-side mandates, not a competitor for them. You keep the client, the engagement and control of the process. We introduce acquirers whose criteria fit, and route every one of them to you.
Plenty of platforms in this market are built on the premise that advisors are an unnecessary cost. We do not believe that, and we have not built the business around it.
Vareth does not value businesses, does not advise on price, does not negotiate, does not manage a process and does not close transactions. Those are the parts of your job that carry the skill and the liability, and we have deliberately stayed out of them. What we do is the discovery layer: finding acquirers whose stated criteria fit a mandate, and making a qualified introduction.
For an owner running a self-directed process, that is a service in itself. For a mandate you are already running, it is one more source of relevant buyers.
Our buy side includes private equity firms, family offices, corporate development teams, independent sponsors, search funds and buy-side advisors. Each is registered with explicit acquisition criteria. Some will already be on your list. Some will not, and the ones that are not are the point.
Buyers register sector, size, geography, structure preference, capital approach and timing before they see anything. When we identify a fit, you get the rationale, not just a name.
We do not blast. Your client's opportunity goes to a selected shortlist, presented anonymously, under staged disclosure. Nothing about this obliges you to change how you are marketing the deal elsewhere.
Every buyer introduction goes to you or your deal team. We do not contact your client behind you, and we do not insert ourselves into the process after the introduction is made.
Submit the mandate. You confirm you are authorized to act, and tell us whether the opportunity is being broadly marketed, privately marketed, or explored confidentially.
We review. Authority, business legitimacy, completeness. We will come back to you with gaps rather than guess.
We build the anonymous profile from the information you supply, and send it to you before distribution.
We shortlist and distribute to buyers whose registered criteria fit.
Interested buyers request an introduction. We check the rationale, apply the confidentiality gate, and bring the request to you.
You take it from there. The introduction lands with you. The process stays yours.
Nothing. Vareth charges no seller-side listing fee and no seller-side success fee. Your engagement letter and your fee are unaffected. We are not in your fee stack and we do not take a slice of it.
The marketplace is funded by buyers, who pay for curated access and completed introductions.
Your authority. We ask you to confirm you are authorized to submit and discuss the opportunity, and we verify representative authority as part of our review. This protects your client as much as it protects the marketplace.
Your existing arrangements. Some engagement letters restrict the use of additional buyer-sourcing channels, and some sale processes have exclusivity provisions that would make a parallel channel inappropriate. We ask about this at submission. If there is a restriction, tell us and we will not proceed.
If you have a live sell-side engagement where broader buyer coverage would help, submit it. If you would rather understand the buy side first, we are happy to talk before you commit anything.
