Adaptive M&A was founded in 2005 as a consulting agency exclusively focused on the Services industry. With offices in London, New York, San Diego, Berlin, and Singapore, our team of 60 consultants has built an exceptional private network of LSP owners, CEOs, and board members. Our journey into the M&A advisory space began organically, as LSP owners seeking retirement or exit approached us to leverage our extensive business network to find suitable buyers. Recognizing the growing demand, we officially converted this organic introduction offering into a full business service in 2012.

Since then, Adaptive M&A has been proactive in connecting with over 750 global LSPs to better understand their M&A ambitions and positioning. Our commitment to fostering strong relationships and understanding the unique needs of each client has been the cornerstone of our success.

Over the years, Adaptive M&A has been involved in numerous successful buy-side engagements, with deals ranging from $0.5 million to $40 million. Our track record includes generating over $150 million worth of investment and acquisitions across Europe, North and South America, and Asia. We pride ourselves on our ability to build detailed profiles of potential LSP sellers and buyers, ensuring that each transaction is tailored to the specific needs and goals of our clients.

Our comprehensive workflows for both buy-side and sell-side engagements, coupled with our continuous support throughout the acquisition process, have enabled us to achieve remarkable results. Adaptive M&A's involvement does not end with the introduction; our team remains fully engaged through subsequent phases, providing efficient information exchange and serving as valuable mediators to ensure successful closures.
