Financial Sponsors and Strategic Growth Services

Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC’s Financial Sponsors Group develops relationships and supports private equity and founder-owned clients in identifying and executing investment possibilities. Our recognized experience with entrepreneurs and investors offers a differentiated approach to providing sell-side and buy-side services to private equity clients.

• DCF offers our clients direct access to strategics and sponsors across six continents and 120 cities. Our dedicated teams of sponsor coverage bankers work closely with our clients to provide access to the most relevant counterparties in any geography.
• Our Sponsor Coverage team engages in regular dialogue with large-cap and mid-cap financial sponsors to help them achieve targeted and efficient deal marketing based on our knowledge of their current industry and investment structure preferences.
• Deloitte serves more than 85 percent of the Fortune 500 and more than 6,000 private and middle-market companies1, giving us wide-ranging access to strategic acquirers across each industry group.
• Our practice collects real-time transaction activity from our global network to provide valuable, differentiated insights to our DCF deal teams.

DCF’s Strategic Growth Services (SGS) are designed to assist private equity portfolio companies seeking growth through acquisitions. We combine highly trained business development professionals with our industry-focused investment banking teams to help portfolio companies identify, contact, qualify and connect with potential acquisition candidates within desired industry sub-verticals in a targeted and value-driven manner.

Our SGS professionals identify potential acquisition targets of all types, from subsidiaries of domestic public corporations to privately-owned companies. While information on large public companies is readily available, it can be difficult to identify, assess, and qualify potential acquisition targets that are private or outside of your geography – this is where SGS leads.

DCF offers:

• Differentiated information resources and access to the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited network of member firms around the globe.
• Sector-specific investment bankers and seasoned business development professionals.
• Accessibility, frequent and timely communication, proactive thinking, and a distinct approach to working with management at the private equity and company levels.
