The short answerA different approachAt a glanceHow M&A Radar worksWhen Dealsuite is the better choiceWhen M&A Radar fitsUsing bothFAQSources and correctionsThe short answer
Choose Dealsuite if you want to see companies that are already for sale across Europe, and you are happy to contact the seller’s side yourself.
Choose M&A Radar if your targets are in the 11 CEE countries and you want us to approach the owners in our own name, in their language and without naming you.
A different approach
Both help buyers find private companies. They work in different ways.
Who contacts the owner
On Dealsuite you contact the member who posted a project directly, by platform message, email or phone, according to its website.[3]
At M&A Radar, our operator approaches the owners of the companies you mark, in our own name and without naming you.
What you see before any names
On Dealsuite you see the project details the poster chooses to share, and the information memorandum follows an NDA, according to its website.[1][2]
M&A Radar shows anonymised cards: bands from filed accounts, what the company does and, where enough comparable deals exist, an indicative price range.
Where each one works
Dealsuite describes a network across Europe, with clients in over 60 countries and further expansion into Central and Eastern Europe in 2023, according to its website.[1][4]
M&A Radar works only in 11 CEE countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia.
Who uses it
Dealsuite connects M&A advisors, investors and corporate development teams on both the buy side and the sell side, according to its website.[1]
Only buyers use M&A Radar. We contact owners in our own name, and if an owner wants to go further, we advise the owner, not you. It is not a marketplace and not a data subscription.
At a glance
| Topic | Dealsuite (per its website, Oct 2026) | M&A Radar | What it means for a buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A closed marketplace for on-market deal flow, where verified members post and find buy-side and sell-side projects.[1] | Target origination for buyers in 11 CEE countries. You see the anonymised market, and our operator approaches the owners you choose, in our own name. | Dealsuite starts from deals already on the market. M&A Radar starts from the companies themselves, most of which are not for sale. |
| Who it is for | M&A advisors, investors and corporate development teams. Each user is validated before getting access.[1] | Buyers only: PE funds, search funds, family offices, strategic buyers and independent sponsors. We review every access request personally. | Both are closed to vetted users. On Dealsuite, sellers and their advisors use the same platform. Only buyers use M&A Radar. |
| Countries covered | A network across Europe with clients in over 60 countries. It describes further expansion into Central and Eastern Europe in 2023 and publishes CEE M&A Monitors. A country-by-country list for CEE: not described on the pages we reviewed (Oct 2026).[1][4] | 11 CEE countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia. | For targets across Europe, Dealsuite reaches further. In these 11 countries, M&A Radar searches companies from filed accounts, whether or not they are for sale. |
| Which companies you see | Projects posted by members: sell-side projects and buy-side searches. Per its FAQ, deal flow is entered by advisors, who are asked to confirm they hold the mandate. Its website also offers business owners paid listings to sell their company on the platform.[1][6] | Companies that match your criteria, anonymised, whether or not they are for sale. | Dealsuite’s sell-side projects are companies already offered for sale. On M&A Radar, whether the owner will talk is found out when we approach. |
| What you see before contact | The project details the poster chooses to share, often anonymised. The information memorandum follows an NDA.[1][2] | No name and no exact figures: bands from filed accounts, a 3-year revenue trend, what the company does, banded ratios and, where enough comparable deals exist, an indicative price range from regional transaction multiples. | On Dealsuite the detail depends on each poster. M&A Radar shows the same banded fields for each company where the figures are filed, never exact figures. |
| Criteria that filters can’t express | Filters such as sector, geography, deal size and revenue, full-text search, and a search that tries to understand the meaning behind your words.[1][3][4] | Requirements in your own words, checked against each listed company’s own website: stated, says otherwise, not stated, or no readable website. They do not narrow the search. | Useful for sorting a list. Our website checks show what a company says about itself. They are not verified facts. |
| Who approaches the owner, and in which language | You contact the member who posted the project directly, by platform message, email or phone. Language of contact: not described on the pages we reviewed (Oct 2026).[3] | Our operator, in the owner’s language, after you mark the company. | With Dealsuite you run the contact. With M&A Radar our operator makes it, in our own name. |
| Is your name disclosed, and when | Members have company pages and personal profiles. You control what you share and with whom, and projects can be posted anonymously. When you respond to a project, you talk to the poster directly.[1][3][4] | We approach owners without naming you, and describe you only in terms you have approved. You learn the company’s name once the owner agrees. Your name is given to the owner only with your consent. | If staying unnamed early on matters to you, check how each step works before you engage. |
| Contact data, exports, CRM and API | Contact details of buyers and sellers in the platform, company and personal profiles, and an integrated NDA tool. Its buying page ends with an “Integrate” step: follow up in your preferred workflow. A CRM sync or API: not described on the pages we reviewed (Oct 2026).[1][2][3] | Not offered: no owner contact details, data exports, CRM sync or API. Our operator makes the first contact. | If your team wants to make contact itself, Dealsuite gives you more direct tools. |
| How fees are set | For deal professionals, a subscription. Per its FAQ, its pricing is not publicly listed and depends on the type and size of the organisation, and a limited-time free trial is offered after validation. Packages for business owners are priced on its website.[1][6] | Our fees are paid by the buyer and set out in the buyer agreement, which you sign before we contact any owner. | Ask both for their terms in writing before you start. |

How M&A Radar works
- You set criteria.Countries, subsectors (101 in 19 sector groups), revenue, EBITDA, headcount, growth trend and shareholder structure. You can also describe the target in plain words and add special requirements, which are checked against each company’s own website.
- You see the anonymised market.Matching companies, not only those for sale. Each card shows bands from filed annual accounts, what the company does and, where enough comparable deals exist, an indicative price range. Missing data is marked unverified, not hidden. A search that has been run before shows at once; a new one is prepared by our operator, and you get an email within one business day.
- You mark companies.After you sign the buyer agreement. The companies you mark form your target list, and we approach their owners. If we decline one, we tell you.
- Our operator approaches the owners.In their language, in our own name, without naming you. Owners are contacted only after you mark their companies.
- The company’s name is disclosed once the owner agrees.Your name is given to the owner only with your consent. Then come meetings, LOI, due diligence and closing, with your own advisers.

When Dealsuite is the better choice
Dealsuite is the better fit in these cases, based on what its website describes:
- You want companies that are already for sale, with an information memorandum available after an NDA.[1][2]
- You are looking across Europe, not only in CEE. Its website describes clients in over 60 countries.[1]
- You prefer to make contact yourself and want the other side’s contact details in the platform.[3]
- You want sell-side advisors to find you. According to its website, advisors use its directory to shortlist buyers, and buyers can post their own buy-side search.[3][5]
- You want regular market reports. It publishes regional M&A Monitors, including one for CEE.[4]
When M&A Radar fits
- Your targets are in the 11 CEE countries.
- The owners you want are not actively selling.
- You need a local-language approach to the owner.
- You do not want to be named when an owner is first approached.
- You want us to make the approach to the owner, in our own name.
Using both
This can make sense. A team could use Dealsuite to follow companies already on the market across Europe, and M&A Radar for the owner approach in the 11 CEE countries, including owners who are not on the market. We approach only companies you mark on M&A Radar, so a CEE target needs to appear in your M&A Radar search. If you already know the company and are happy to contact the owner in your own name, you may not need us. If a company already has an advisor running its sale, that advisor is the direct route, unless we have already approached its owner in an owner approach you ordered. In that case the buyer agreement’s rules on direct contact apply.
FAQ
What is the main difference between M&A Radar and Dealsuite?
Where the companies come from. According to its website, Dealsuite is a closed marketplace where verified members post buy-side and sell-side projects and contact each other directly. With M&A Radar you see the anonymised market in 11 CEE countries, and our operator approaches the owners you mark, without naming you. Most of those companies are not for sale.
Is M&A Radar a database or a marketplace?
Neither. It is target origination for buyers: you see companies that match your criteria, anonymised, whether or not they are for sale, and we approach the owners of the companies you mark, in our own name. It is not a data subscription, and it is not a list of companies for sale.
Which countries do you cover, and does Dealsuite cover them too?
We cover Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia. A search with no country selected covers all 11. Dealsuite’s website describes a network across Europe, with clients in over 60 countries. A country-by-country list for CEE is not described on the pages we reviewed (October 2026).
Will the owner know who I am, and when?
We approach the owner without naming you, and describe you only in terms you have approved. You learn the company’s name once the owner agrees to disclose it. Your name is given to the owner only with your consent. On Dealsuite, according to its website, projects can be posted anonymously, and when you respond to a project you talk to the poster directly.
Where do the financial figures come from?
From filed annual accounts, shown as bands, not exact figures. Missing data is marked unverified, not hidden. Where the accounts we hold show no depreciation (all of Lithuania and Latvia, and some companies elsewhere), we show operating margin instead of EBITDA, and any price range based on it is a floor. The indicative price range is an enterprise value, before net debt: it applies EV/EBITDA multiples from completed control deals with targets in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland, pooled by sector group, to the latest filed year’s earnings. It appears only where enough comparable deals exist and earnings are positive. It is not a valuation. On Dealsuite, according to its website, project details come from the members who post them.
Can I use Dealsuite and M&A Radar together?
Yes. According to its website, Dealsuite covers companies already on the market across Europe. M&A Radar covers the owner approach in the 11 CEE countries, for companies you mark on our platform. If a company already has an advisor running its sale and its owner has not been approached in an owner approach you ordered, contact that advisor.
How are fees set?
Our fees are paid by the buyer and set out in the buyer agreement, which you sign before we contact any owner.
