A contact result is a starting point for your outreach. It does not confirm the owner wants to sell.
Your shortlist is ready. The owner’s contact isn’t.
-
The company is easy to find.
The right person can be much harder to name.
-
The clues are spread out.
Company pages, local sources and records each tell part of the story.
-
Your team has a mandate to move.
Contact research is one more task between the shortlist and the outreach.
How it works
From target to contact, in three steps.
-
1
Add a target.
Give us the company and the person you want to reach. A role works too, if you do not have a name.
Free
-
2
Review the person.
Check the match and the price. Then confirm the one you mean.
Free
-
3
Get the result.
Read the contact and the sources behind it, or see why the search could not resolve one.
Up to 2 credits
Finding candidates is free. Confirming a person holds 2 credits, and nothing is charged for what we cannot establish. See pricing.
Keep your deal tools. Add active contact research.
Use the shortlist you already built. Bring SkySearch the people your usual tools have not helped you reach. This is a workflow, not a CRM integration.
- Your shortlist
- Missing contact
- SkySearch research
- Contact result
Where it fits
Three ways advisory teams use it.
-
Buy-side mandates.
Research owners at the private companies your client has picked.
-
Cross-border searches.
Work through contact gaps when the company and the buyer sit in different markets.
-
Outsourced deal sourcing.
Add contact research to the target work you already do for clients.
Start here

Questions
Before you spend a credit, know what you get.
Does SkySearch find companies to acquire?
No. This page is for researching people at companies you already have in mind.
It does not promise a new acquisition shortlist.
Can I use it alongside my current deal tools?
Yes. Start with a target from your current research.
SkySearch adds contact research to that workflow. Nothing needs to be moved or imported.
Does a result mean the owner wants to sell?
No. A contact result does not show willingness to sell, reply or meet.
It shows a route to the person, and the sources it came from.
What does it cost?
Finding candidates is free. When you confirm a person, we hold 2 credits. One pays for the evidence we keep. The second is charged only if we can report an address.
You see all of this in the workspace before you confirm. Sign-up comes with ten free credits and takes no card. See pricing.
What happens if no contact is found?
Not every search finds a contact. Nothing is charged for what we cannot establish.
If we find nothing, or a run fails, or you cancel it, the held credits go back to your balance.
How long does a search take?
It varies by person and by what sources exist. Most searches finish in about a minute.
You can close the tab. The result waits for you under Recent searches.
Where does the information come from?
We read live public and proprietary sources.
That means company sites, registries, filings, news and trade press.
Every result shows its own sources, so you can check them.
Can I research people in another country?
Coverage varies by market and by person. Where the public record is thin, we search again in the local language.
Your next step starts with a person.
Bring a target from your current mandate. See whether SkySearch can help you find a way to reach them.
