Under Negotiation
The opportunity has progressed into direct discussions between relevant parties.
Closed

AN OPPORTUNITY MAY CONCLUDE AT ANY STAGE.
- OWNER REMAINS IN CONTROL

- NO GUARANTEED OUTCOME
How access to information is controlled
For Norwegian owners and companies
Introduce your business, objectives and preferences. Meridian reviews each submission before preparing any coded, anonymised public presentation. Your company is not published automatically.
For international strategic buyers
Register your acquisition criteria for review. Once your account is approved, you can register interest in an available opportunity. Meridian reviews each enquiry individually. Account approval or a change in opportunity status does not grant access to confidential information.
Qualification, confidentiality and consent
Public opportunities can be viewed without an account. A buyer account must be approved before an expression of interest can be submitted. Each opportunity then follows an individual review.
Explore anonymously
View a public opportunity by its unique code. The overview describes the business without identifying the company.
Register interest
Create a buyer profile for review. Once your account is approved and any applicable registration terms are met, you can express interest in an opportunity.
Verify the fit
Meridian reviews the specific enquiry, acquisition criteria and fit before agreeing the next step.
Request further information
Discuss what information is needed. Requests are reviewed individually; a request does not grant access to confidential material.
Agree the confidentiality process
Agree any required NDA and the appropriate professional M&A or legal involvement before identifying information is released.
Disclose with permission
Meridian coordinates which information can be shared, with whom and at what stage, subject to the owner’s approval and agreed confidentiality terms.
The appropriate M&A and legal support is agreed for each transaction. M&A and legal support
