What did Nickleby need?
Nickleby had been asked by a client to source deal flow in an area that, whilst within their specialism, was outside of their usual geographical area of expertise. Needing to find a solution that would allow them to fast-forward on the initial pre-screening, identification and due diligence process, Nickleby asked mnAI to help them identify potential investment opportunities using our proprietary technology.
What was in the search?
The search parameters requested were highly targeted and included over 20 variable conditions that needed to be met to satisfy their client, including :
– Very specific, multi location, of target companies
– Age of company between 7 – 10yrs old
– An exact number of directors
– An exact age match of one of the directors
– An exact number of shareholders
– Exact industry match
– Net assets within £2m – £4m
– Creditors within a target range of £250k – £350k
– Debtors within a target range of £350k – £450k
The outcome
971 companies were identified, saving the Nickleby team hours of manual research.
