What is the best way to use the Deal Retriever merger and acquisition transaction data?
A. Company presidents, CEOs and CFOs are chiefly concerned with the industry in which their company operates. These managers are also concerned with the industries in which their suppliers and customers operate. Thus, the most meaningful information Deal Retriever can provide management is transactional data by “industry”, which Deal Retriever groups by 4-digit S.I.C. code. Second, searches can also be made by “size” either transaction size or sellers’ revenue size. Third, executives may want to further narrow their search by “time frame”, or any combination of such search criteria.
