How is ProxDeal different from traditional databases?
How is ProxDeal different from deal-matching platforms?
Deal-matching platforms mainly broker companies that are already actively for sale. ProxDeal, by contrast, was built specifically 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 has no transaction-related interests.
Instead, ProxDeal offers the most comprehensive company data foundation for M&A in the DACH region.
Can I also use ProxDeal for buy-side mandates and mandate origination?

How does ProxDeal's search work?
ProxDeal combines a powerful company database with an AI agent system that simulates the work of more than 1,000 M&A analysts in parallel. You can research the traditional way, using filters and database queries, or let AI identify companies from a free-text description.
For every AI search, companies are analysed, scored and prioritised by strategic fit using websites, register data, financial information and numerous other sources. This allows ProxDeal to surface hard-to-find, highly relevant mid-market companies (“hidden gems”) and deliver far more precise results for deal sourcing and M&A research.
Where does the data come from?
ProxDeal combines official register data, AI-powered live analyses of company websites and numerous other primary data sources. You'll find a full overview on our data coverage page.
What information is included as standard?
ProxDeal provides more than 100 structured data points for every company – and the number keeps growing. The platform combines official company data with AI-powered analyses and offers one of the most comprehensive information bases for M&A in the DACH region.
The information available includes:
- Detailed company profiles analysing the business model, products, services, USPs and target markets.
- Financial, balance sheet and earnings data, including balance sheet analyses, key ratios and historical trends.
- Growth data and company development over several years.
- Shareholder, investment and transaction information, where publicly available.
- Succession and ownership signals, such as the age of shareholders and managing directors, family relationships and other M&A-relevant indicators.
- Detailed location data, including branches, sites and regional presence.
- Contact details, company addresses and relevant points of contact.
- AI-powered company and synergy analyses for the strategic assessment of potential targets.
