Every engagement carries its source link and date.High confidence: named in the role on the deal. Medium: a biography or experience page names the deal, or the side is read from the sentence; it is labelled wherever it shows. Anything weaker is kept for review and never shown.
354 firms have been observed on an independent sponsor deal so far, of 514 service firms on the record. Coverage grows as announcements, filings and firms' own deal pages are read.

Find providers by experienceHow the ranking worksEvery firm (or professional) observed on independent sponsor deals that match your choices, ranked by those deals: how many, for how many sponsors and how often they came back, how many fit the size, for this sponsor or alongside this capital provider, and how recent. The counts each result was ranked by are printed under it.Size: a stated enterprise value where the announcement gave one; otherwise an estimate from the company's size, always labelled as an estimate. A deal of unknown size is kept and counted apart. Only high and medium confidence engagements count.
Who has done this kind of deal before: pick the role, the sector, the place and the size.
