Help - Need Transaction Data

Could someone help me out and point me in the right direction for finding a list of M&A transactions that have occurred in the last 5-10 years? I'm helping put together a large data set for a regression project and this would be a good place to start. I have access to most standard databases at school, and might be able to convince the boutique I'll be working for to let me use their Cap IQ account for this as well if it would be listed there.

Also, this data would need to be moved to excel, so if there is a database where that would allow the data to be extracted without manually transferring that would be ideal.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out with this.

Merger transaction databases

Hi all,

I am about to begin writing a thesis which analyzes, amongst other things, "merger waves" in the US over the last 20 years.

In order to carry this out I would need an M&A transaction database that could provide me quarterly volumes during this historical time period.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which databases are best?
Do Bloomberg, Datastream, Worldscope, ThomsonOne provide this? I know the best database is the SDC M&A database, but I think I would need to get special authorization for that one.

Thanks in advance

I'm doing a side project right now where I'm helping a CEO, who wants to start buying companies with his personal capital that are <$50mm revenues and $1-10mm EBITDA.

Aside from generating proprietary deal flow from networking and cold calling, I might point him towards some online deal databases/resources. What are the best listings sites that are out there (or are they all junk?)

Thanks

Does anyone know how I can find this information? Would libraries have it for free? Or could someone with access help me run a search please??

Thanks so much!

What do you use to screen a list of PE or Financial Buyers (ie. for a sellside engagement)?

How about to screen a list of potential Strategic Buyers?

I'm assuming FactSet/Capiq would be popular databases, primarily for identifying Strategic Buyers, how about Financial Buyers?

There are some sources:
Thedeal.com database
Pitchbook.com database
A firms proprietary internal database
