• research the Romanian market for relevant potential Targets based on the profile and criteria provided by the Client (the Foreign Buyer)
• provide the Client with a?longlist?of identified players and their brief profiles
• shortlist and rank them by relevance (together with / by the Client)
• initial reputation check on shortlisted players and their shareholders / Decision Makers in Romania (lawsuits, legal issues, other issues) – secondary research

Example 1 –?Market expansion support in BPO sector in Romania and Bulgaria for foreign company :?https://www.frdcenter.ro/portfolio/case-study-three-market-expansion-support-in-bpo-sector/

Based on the specific details received from the Client, FRD Center and the local partners in Bulgaria have identified the most relevant independent local players in the BPO and call center sector, prepared their in-depth profiles, and submitted these to the Client.

The Client selected the most interesting targets and provided the shortlist to FRD Center for the next phase: background checks. Those that turned out to have no issues, were contacted in confidence, at Owner or Decision Maker level without disclosing the identity of the Client and assessed their intention to sell the company.

The M&A Director of the Client-company received the Final Report with the outcomes of the discussions and proceeded to use the information internally.

Separate from this project, FRD Center is currently (2021-2022) providing Target Origination services in the BPO sector to a major group from the Middle East looking to acquire the Romanian operations of an international group of companies in the sector and thus expand to Europe via Romania.
