FAQ's

Everything you need to know

Questions M&A players ask before building their data stack on ProxDeal.

Get in touch
What sets ProxDeal apart from traditional databases?
ProxDeal combines a powerful company database with an AI platform purpose-built for M&A. Compared to conventional databases, you benefit from a significantly deeper data foundation, more precise search results and M&A-specific features across the entire deal process. Rather than relying solely on static datasets, ProxDeal continuously enriches company profiles with information from registries, websites and other relevant sources. This is complemented by AI-powered longlist generation, intelligent data enrichment and integrated workflows for target screening, Deal Sourcing and outreach, purpose-built for M&A advisors, investment banks, private equity and corporate development.
What sets ProxDeal apart from deal-matching providers?

Deal-matching platforms primarily broker companies that are already actively for sale. ProxDeal, by contrast, was purpose-built for professional M&A practitioners and supports the systematic identification of attractive off-market companies.

Unlike matching platforms, ProxDeal is an independent research tool. The platform receives no success fees and pursues no transaction-related interests.

Instead, ProxDeal offers the most comprehensive company database for M&A in the DACH region.

Can I use ProxDeal for Buy-Side mandates and mandate origination?
Yes. ProxDeal supports Sell-Side research (finding buyers for a target), Buy-Side research (identifying targets for a buyer) and mandate origination (identifying potential clients in the market).
How does ProxDeal help me contact companies?
ProxDeal generates personalised email and letter outreach based on each company profile. Every message is individually tailored to the potential buyer or target within its specific context.
How does ProxDeal's search work?

ProxDeal combines a powerful company database with an AI agent system that simulates the work of over 1,000 M&A analysts in parallel. Users can research companies through traditional filters and database queries or use AI-powered search to identify companies based on a free-text description.

For every AI search, companies are analysed using websites, registry data, financial information and numerous other sources, then scored and prioritised by strategic fit. This allows ProxDeal to surface hard-to-find, highly relevant mid-market companies (“Hidden Gems”) and deliver significantly more precise results for Deal Sourcing and M&A research.

Where does the data come from?

ProxDeal combines official registry data, AI-powered live analyses of company websites and numerous other primary data sources. A complete overview is available on the data coverage page.

What information is included by default?

ProxDeal provides over 100 structured data points per company, and the number is growing steadily. The platform combines official company data with AI-powered analyses and offers one of the most comprehensive information foundations for M&A in the DACH region.

Available information includes, among others:

  • Detailed company profiles analysing business models, products, services, USPs and target markets.
  • Financial, balance-sheet and income-statement data including ratio analyses, KPIs and historical trends.
  • Growth data and company development over multiple years.
  • Shareholder, investment and transaction information, where publicly available.
  • Succession and ownership signals such as shareholder and managing director ages, family relationships and other M&A-relevant indicators.
  • Detailed location data including branches, offices and regional presence.
  • Contact details, company addresses and relevant decision-makers.
  • AI-powered company and synergy analyses for the strategic evaluation of potential targets.

With ProxDeal you gain the most comprehensive and purpose-built information foundation for company research, Deal Sourcing and company analyses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

What format are the lists delivered in?
Longlists are delivered as structured tables in CSV/Excel format, directly importable into your CRM or proprietary analysis tools. Alternatively, programmatic access is available via the ProxDeal API.
What does client support look like?

You are supported by people. Every client has a dedicated contact person who stays by your side from setup through ongoing use.

You speak with qualified professionals who are thoroughly familiar with your business. Depending on your client segment, you are supported by contacts who understand the specific requirements of your industry.
