Search and identify companies that match the requirement profile. We use a number of different sources and methods to create a long list of companies.
Rank the companies on the long list to get a manageable amount of the most relevant companies.
Personal contact by phone with selected companies from the long list. We then conduct a first qualification and generate interest at the same time.

Detailed evaluation of the selected companies including collection and analysis of financial data.

Inquiry to selected companies.
