SPS’ differentiated capabilities allow investors to understand their deal sourcing performance, map sector-level deal flows and improve target identification, and develop relationships with the right intermediaries. Additionally, SPS provides transaction advisors the ability to assess deal coverage and map the most relevant buyer universe.
SPS’ key capabilities include, but are not limited to:
