FAQs

Answers to questions you might have about M&A Insights from NKP.

What does M&A Insights do?

​Established in 2018 by a former private equity investment manager, NKP | M&A Insights is an independent and highly specialized information services provider to investors and advisory firms which are active in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) market.

Who is M&A Insights for?

​Our fast growing client base spans the entire M&A ecosystem, including private equity funds, direct lenders, investment banks, corporate finance boutiques, law firms, auditing firms, strategy consultancies, and transaction insurance providers to name a few.

How is M&A Insights different from MergerMarket?

​The frequency, quality, and timing of cases and opportunities covered is of a different order of magnitude. Expect 5-10x as many cases covered based on non-public sources (for the markets we cover) across size tiers and sectors, and covering each case at a much earlier (pre-process) stage. Our DNA is also significantly different - our team is comprised of people with financial backgrounds (not journalists) and our company was founded by a former private equity investment manager. This is reflected in our systematic, proactive, and data-driven research model.

​Which markets does M&A Insights cover?

​We believe in network effects and focus exclusively on the Nordic and DACH markets (in terms of target headquarter), however our coverage includes assets owned/acquired/sold by investors and shareholders residing outside of these two regions. We are industry-agnostic (as many of our clients are) and focus on transactions from the growth equity space and up. Our integrated Stocks tool, tailored for M&A use-cases, covers global tickers (more than 20,000 companies).

Where does M&A Insights gets its information from?

​We source information from a combination of publicly available and non-public sources, with a large share of our proprietary (non-public) intelligence coming from asset owners, who see the value in having their company profiled in M&A Insights - a discreet low-risk channel for generating qualified awareness among top investors and company buyers, while remaining anonymous.

What is the business model of M&A Insights?

​Our business model is 100% subscription driven with clients paying a fixed annual fee for access to the platform, the email newsletter, and the other integrated services surrounding M&A Insights. We do not get any fees or referral income from connecting investors with company owners, or from writing about specific companies and events. This way we remain entirely independent and can focus on what we do best - creating visibility in unlisted markets to ensure that capital is ultimately deployed in the most efficient way.

​Where is M&A Insights based?

​We all work out of our offices in Hellerup, Capital Region, in Denmark. Our team is comprised of native Nordic language speakers and native German speakers, alongside tech and support staff. If you are in the vicinity of our offices and want to get to know us better please reach out, we would be happy to have coffee.

What does the pricing look like?

NKP | M&A Insights is a "subscription only" solution, with subscription options (and price) varying according to team size and the scope of coverage that you are interested in. We may be able to offer a (free) trial upon request.

Is the mobile app different from the web version?

M&A Insights is delivered as both a web app (accessible through your browser at app.mainsights.io) and as a native mobile (iOS) app that can be downloaded from the Apple app store. Both the mobile app and the web app contain the same underlying information and datasets, only the user interfaces and functionality differ.

What if I want to tip NKP about a company/deal?

You can contact us anonymously through the contact form found on the "Contact" page or you can send us an email on research@mainsights.io. If you send us an email we will not disclose where we got the information from unless you want us to.,

How do advisors submit transactions for league tables?

Email us at advisors@mainsights.io and we will typically respond with a confirmation within 24-48 hours. You can attach a spreadsheet with the relevant information (your role and function, i.e. "Corporate Finance Sell-Side", target name, target country, deal value if available etc.).

What are the criteria for including a deal in advisor reportings?

The target or the activities sold must be headquartered in either Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, or Austria. The deal value and/or implied enterprise value must be EUR 15m or larger for majority and minority sales. We track both legal- and corporate finance advisory roles both sell-side and buy-side.
