A diversified services company based in the Southeastern U.S. hired Kinsella Group to identify and acquire guarding companies for its security division. Kinsella Group’s initial screen, based on client criteria, narrowed an initial universe of more than 1,000 businesses into a list of approximately 80 prospects, who were contacted discreetly by Kinsella Group. Of the 80 prospects, 15 entered into confidentiality agreements or submitted detailed information for consideration by our client, resulting in the acquisition of three companies.
