PRIVATE EQUITY
Whether it’s platform investment, buy and build, minority or controlling equity that you favour, we have proven research experience. Put simply, we can improve your deal flow.
Our projects are tailored to meet specific requirements and may include buy and build, new sector penetration, or sector agnostic activity. Knowing that a private equity firm’s origination work may be disrupted due to other pressures, we can promise a consistent delivery of opportunities stabilising deal flow development. If internal resources are stretched, then we simply adapt our delivery mechanism to suit.
With many of the UK’s respected private equity clients already in our portfolio, we are confident that our proposition is proven and value for money. We provide added value to investment teams by offering that vital supplementary injection of deal flow.
We do understand issues that private equity firms face in managing consistent proactive deal flow programmes because many firms have told us how difficult it can be. If your deal flow needs more momentum, that’s where we come in.PRIVATE AND LISTED COMPANIES
Private and listed companies in the low-mid and mid market segments seeking or developing a structured acquisition research plan, both in the UK and internationally, are now using Sintra’s off market research acquisition model. Your business may be predominantly sector focused, and you may find it useful to know that we have worked in over 30 different sectors in the UK. We also know acquisition activity can be very distracting to the running of the business, so we provide high levels of qualification in the target businesses we research through to the opportunities we find to ensure we do not impact your productivity.
Clearly, the more correctly identified executives we interview, the more opportunities will flow through to you. The data mining part of our work ensures that direct contact with the right Chief Executives and Managing Directors is unrivalled.

Private and listed companies
Private and listed companies seeking or developing a comprehensive acquisition and research plan both in the UK and internationally are also now using Sintra. We know acquisition activity can be very distracting to the running of the business, so we provide high levels of qualification to the opportunities we find.
Market Mapping
Sintra also provides a significant market mapping service to clients to help them understand the size, structure, major players, and macro environment that may be relevant to a sector of interest.
Previous clients have used market mapping mainly in two areas. Firstly, investors conducting early investigations into a new sector which may show signs of investment potential. Secondly, market mapping has been used by individual companies to assess or reassess their competitive landscape and investigate buy and build or bolt-on potential in their markets. We often provide market mapping as a pre-cursor to our off market buy and build campaigns. In summary, market mapping provides valuable information and data to assess market structures for potential acquisitions and Sintra is happy to support clients by providing evidence based market mapped data as a decision support tool. Let us know if you would like to know more.
Land
We also help clients to source qualified new build opportunities, particularly in the care home sector. Here we provide an exhaustive search and contact programme via the UK planning and national house builder sectors.
