Monsieur le Président, Je m'appelle Marc Delorme.

Je cherche à reprendre une entreprise de ce métier, pour la développer avec ses équipes. Si vous réfléchissez à la suite de Girod Microtechnique, je serais heureux d'en parler avec vous. Je vous prie d'agréer, Monsieur le Président, l'expression de mes salutations distinguées. Marc Delorme.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a company database?

A database returns thousands of results, often with a score and modelled figures when accounts are confidential. Diligeo gives you only the companies that fit your thesis, each with its written, dated and sourced reason. An unpublished figure is flagged, never estimated.

And from an agency or an advisory firm?

An agency approaches owners under its own brand and is often paid on success. With Diligeo, the approach is made in your name, you review it before it is sent, and you pay a flat fee, with no commission on the acquisition.

And from business-for-sale marketplaces?

A marketplace only shows the sales their owners chose to advertise; scouting keeps every company in your scope, for sale or not.

How does the approach to owners work?

You start from a template message and adapt it in your own words. Diligeo personalizes it for each owner and submits it to you before sending, with the quote. It goes out in your name, by handwritten letter, LinkedIn or email depending on the volume and your preferences, and replies come straight to you. An owner already receives plenty of printed mail, and the French State plans to write to every owner at 55: a handwritten letter, signed by the person who wants to take over, stands apart.

What if the company is a direct competitor?

The message says who you are and what connects you to the company: no figures, no list, no plan. You choose which companies receive it; a direct competitor can be left out of the approach so that you can call them yourself.

Where does the information come from?

Public registers, legal notices, filed accounts, business-for-sale listings and company websites. Every piece of information carries its source.

Who can see my file?

The people you give the link and the password to, and only them.

What about buying a company in receivership?

On request, scouting includes companies in receivership or judicial liquidation: the procedure, the court-appointed administrator to contact and the deadline for offers. The offer is prepared with your lawyer.

What if my scope cannot be served?

Diligeo tells you before any collection and refunds you in full.
