Survey of resources and tools used by M&A advisory groups

If you didn't get a chance to participate in this survey yesterday please do so today. When I get at least 25 more responses I will post a summary of the results.

The survey is completely anonymous, only 10 questions in length and takes about 1 minute to complete.

The purpose of the survey is to get a better idea of what resources are being utilized by M&A groups and determine how varied access to a few key resources is across the industry. This is for my own personal curiosity; I don't work for any of the vendors mentioned in the survey.

I greatly appreciate your participation and look forward to discussing the results on WSO when completed.

Although I have had a strong response to the survey, I haven't reached the number of responses I was hoping for so I will leave it open for a couple of additional days.

If you haven't participated please do so. And for those that have participated, thank you!

Est quos et eos dolore. Aut voluptatibus est et qui minus velit sapiente excepturi. Eum ducimus quam repellat ea saepe est cupiditate. Harum laboriosam quo praesentium repellendus numquam. Eum impedit odio odit architecto aliquid repellat. Quasi blanditiis rerum at omnis. Qui perspiciatis minima sunt enim at veniam perferendis.
