About CIEX
Our Mission
Access is Key.

At M&A Markets we believe in that for every good business that is being sold there is an ideal buyer. Gaining access to committed and verified buyers and sellers is key. Business Owners want to sell their business for the best possible price without risking their anonymity and buyers want to buy at the lowest possible price and get the best deal.

The M&A Markets platform connects buyers and sellers through their accountants to give them access to the best deals in a secure, confidential and anonymous environment.

Co-Founders

Founder Tim Counihan

CEO LinkedIn    Twitter

M&A Markets is the brainchild of Tim Counihan. Together with Ronan Cleary they co-founded the company and began the development of the platform in 2015.

Tim began his working life in commercial banking and in 2013/2014 he started to notice that strong family businesses which he had lent to in his early career were now closing or suffering because they had no exit strategy in place for the owners. The missing links in the deal structure were Access and Anonymity, access to buyers and sellers and anonymity for the sellers.

Tim’s years of experience in banking and dealing directly with high net worth individuals with successful businesses led him to recognised the gap in the market for a platform that is now known as M & A Markets.
