The private equity industry is intensely competitive. Success is clearly predicated on investing in the right companies. Like the proverbial iceberg though, much of the deal flow in privately owned companies is below the waterline, not easily seen. Most private equity executives readily admit they don’t have the chance to see near the number of “right” deals that they should. The most successful private equity firms use all of the tools at their disposal, and NAS, on either a retained or non-exclusive basis, is such a tool.

Working with NAS affords benefits to all of the key deal constituencies: buyers/investors, sellers/private companies, sellside intermediaries and other professional services providers. Within the website we’d like to share our thoughts as to why working with NAS is a valuable proposition for each of these important constituencies --

• For Private Equity Firms
• For Privately Owned Companies
• For Sellside Intermediaries
