PAID OUTREACH · AGREED TARGET SET
Acquisition outreach and market engagement in Poland
Test whether the owners of suitable companies are willing to discuss an acquisition. Start with an agreed target set and receive a clear record of outreach, responses and potential next steps.
What you receive
An outreach log, qualified response summary and recommendations for which conversations to take forward.
- An agreed target set, conflict check and buyer positioning approved before contact.
- Discreet outreach in Polish, with identity disclosure and follow-up rules agreed in advance.
- A dated activity log that separates attempted contact, replies, conversations and expressed interest.
- A final review of interested targets, declines, non-responses and recommended next steps.
| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Target and activity | Company, approved contact route, date, action taken and next scheduled action. |
| Response status | No response, declined, requested information or open to discussion; based on an actual reply. |
| Conversation outcome | Owner's stated position, timing and conditions, distinguished from our interpretation. |
| Next step | An introduction, follow-up or stop decision, with responsibility agreed. |
How the project works
- Validate your own target list or commission market mapping separately.
- Agree the buyer story, target permissions, contact sequence and reporting cadence.
- Run the outreach, qualify responses and review next steps together.
Scope, timing and fees
We quote against the target count, research needed to reach owners, channels, follow-up rounds and reporting scope. The campaign window is agreed separately from longlist delivery. Outreach normally runs over weeks; a response, meeting or transaction is not guaranteed. Diligence and transaction execution require a separate scope.
How we use AI and check the data
AI supports discovery, extraction and comparison. We review sources and record their dates; unavailable figures and estimates remain visibly distinct from reported facts. A registry entry does not establish acquisition fit or willingness to sell.
Confidentiality and reuse
Research based on public sources is non-exclusive unless the scope states otherwise. Your identity, acquisition criteria and private conversations stay confidential. We agree any exclusivity and check conflicts before starting owner outreach.
Relevant transaction experience
VEA advised the owners of Ecologic on its sale to Everfield. This is evidence of our sell-side transaction experience; it is not a case study of a paid longlist or a buy-side outreach campaign.

Can we bring our own list?
Yes. We first check identifiers, relevance, contact coverage and potential conflicts. Any list enrichment is scoped before the outreach starts.
What counts as a result?
You receive evidence of activity and the actual responses obtained. A sent message is not a conversation, and a conversation is not an indication that an owner will sell.
Do we need a full acquisition mandate?
No. You can buy a defined outreach project and decide separately whether to proceed with further engagement or a full mandate.
HOW WE ASSESS TARGETS
Connect the target to your acquisition thesis.
Our Value Creation OS informs how we assess strategic fit. Agree the depth of analysis when commissioning research: a first screen uses public evidence; a deeper assessment needs additional data.
- 01
Evidence
What the company sells, who it serves and what available filings support. Every source has a date; missing information remains visible.
- 02
Value creation hypothesis
What the target could add to your group: a product, customer segment, capability or route to market. Potential synergies remain hypotheses.
- 03
Questions to validate
What would need to be true for the acquisition to work? We identify the next questions on revenue quality, owner dependence and integration.
A longlist is a research screen. Owner willingness is tested through market engagement; margins, retention and synergies require appropriate data and diligence. Deeper target assessments are scoped separately.
Market engagement
Tell us what you want to buy.
Include sector, geography, business model, size range, exclusions and deadline. We will confirm feasibility, deliverables and a quote before work starts.
We can discuss the brief in English or Polish.
