How am I assured that the deal opportunities I post or review are secure?
PE-Nexus has gone to extreme lengths to ensure that our advisors wield absolute control over their deal profiles. To that end, PE-Nexus offers two ways for advisors to effectively market their deals:
- Private Process: In a private process, advisors can assemble their own custom suitor list, and engage that list on a suitor-by-suitor basis. ONLY companies that have been appended to the suitor list will have access to the deal profile and the ability to request additional information, like teasers, NDAs, financial statements, etc. All other members will not know that the deal exists.
Private processes are perfect for deals which are sensitive and necessitate discretion.
- Marketplace Process: For deals that are less-sensitive, advisors can opt to post them to the PE-Nexus Deal Marketplace. Unlike a private process, in which the advisor predetermines which suitors will be invited to partake in a deal process, marketplace deals are visible to the entire PE-Nexus community. Generally speaking, this is the most effective way to canvas the entire PE-Nexus community and quickly attract interest to a deal.
Does PE-Nexus take any proprietary interest in the deals posted on the site?
No, PE-Nexus has no vested interest whatsoever in any of the deals which flow through its marketplace.
Will my personal information be sold or dispersed to anyone outside of PE-Nexus?
