Use cases

Originate and execute mandates withunparalleled private market intelligence.

01

Find your next mandate

The origination list, built properly. Latency’s granular activity search maps every company in your coverage that could become a client, segmented by vertical, size and ownership, with full registry coverage so no target is missed.

  • Define each vertical the way you cover it
  • Full registry coverage, including private companies
  • Work clean verticals systematically, nothing missed
  • Mandate signals layered on top
  • Accounts, shareholders and the person to call
02

Analyse companies in seconds

A complete first picture of any company, in seconds. Read what it really does, how it has performed and who controls it before committing an hour to it, and qualify twenty companies in the time one data request takes.

  • Accounts, shareholders, subsidiaries, sites, what it sells
  • Enough to decide pitch, call or nothing
  • Performance read against its real peers
  • Forecast, SWOT, positioning and growth drivers
  • Any company: client, competitor, counterparty, buyer
03

Build pitches with best-in-class data

Every source in one place, with an AI layer on top, so the pitch is built around the company itself. Latency assembles the client, its market and its peers into an analysis most companies have never had done on themselves.

  • All sources unified, no data request needed
  • AI writes the analysis pages for that company
  • The client against the peers it truly has
  • Market context and where the client sits
  • Every figure traces to a filed account
04

Identify buyers for sell-side mandates

The buyer universe built on real strategic fit rather than on a sector label. Latency finds the companies that would genuinely want the asset and sets out the rationale behind each one, including private buyers no banker list contains.

  • Strategics matched on what they actually do
  • Sponsors with a platform to bolt onto
  • International buyers seeking an entry point
  • A written rationale for every name
  • Capacity to pay read from accounts
05

Identify targets for buy-side mandates

Your client’s acquisition criteria, turned into a working target list. Latency maps every company in Europe that fits, including the private ones no process will ever bring, and each name arrives with a profile ready to discuss.

  • Mandate criteria become one precise search
  • Full registry coverage, private targets included
  • Every target qualified before analyst time
  • A one-page profile generated per name
  • From criteria to a defensible list in hours
06

Map markets and competitors

The whole market, built from the companies up. Describe it in your own words, or pick it from a proprietary taxonomy far more granular than any standard classification, and Latency assembles every operator with its real numbers in minutes.

  • Size, growth and concentration from filed accounts
  • Every competitor with its key figures
  • See where volume concentrates and the tail sits
  • Segment any way a pitch needs
  • Auditable, and never out of date
07

Find real comparable transactions

Comparables that are genuinely comparable. Legal filings and public sources give near complete transaction coverage, and the precise activity search builds a set that actually resembles your target instead of sharing a sector label with it.

  • Deals that were never announced included
  • Matched on real activity, not sector codes
  • Refine by size, country, growth, ownership
  • Parties, date, stake and terms traceable
  • A range that holds up in committee
08

Reach key decision-makers

Know exactly who to call before you make the approach. Latency combines the legal officers filed at the registry with professional media profiles, so you get the full set of relevant people at a company, with email or phone where available.

  • Registry roles alongside professional media profiles
  • Ownership traced above the company
  • Every relevant person, not one generic contact
  • Direct email and phone where available
  • Role, tenure and other directorships at a glance
09

Identify attractive market niches

Latency replicates the real economy company by company, so you can read what is genuinely happening in it: which activities are growing, consolidating or shrinking. Knowledge worth carrying as a banker, and the basis for choosing which niches deserve the team’s time.

  • A niche visible while it is still a niche
  • Size, growth, fragmentation and deals per market
  • How many owners approach a transition
  • Structural or merely cyclical, and why
  • Focus the franchise on a few niches
