Proprietary Data on Private M&A Valuations

Our IT-specialized database provides deep insight and proprietary data including exclusive data on private company valuations, deal rationales and deal metrics. The MAKB averages a third more valuation comparables than generic M&A databases thanks to our proprietary estimates – more than twice as many comps in some key sectors.


Transactions Excel Template

A powerful plugin tool that enables users to combine 451 proprietary M&A estimates with transaction data from CapIQ Pro in one dynamically updated spreadsheet, making valuations workflow faster and more efficient.

451 Research unique data is integrated in the MI Excel plug-in, a powerful tool that enables users to dynamically populate Excel financial models with data from Market Intelligence.
