About
Who is behind NC Corporate?
A buy-side M&A specialist built from buyer-side operating experience.
NC Corporate is not a prospecting agency adapted to M&A. The firm was built from hands-on M&A experience within acquiring organisations.
Its role is to strengthen buy-side M&A capacity for acquirers: proprietary origination, transaction execution and post-acquisition integration when the deal requires it. Origination remains the core of the model.
A buy-side firm, not a black box.
Origination at the core
Origination remains the core
The engine builds proprietary dealflow and maintains relational memory over time.
Senior-to-senior
The external relationship remains senior
The client and the owners approached interact with a Senior M&A professional, never with an anonymous production team.
Back-office capacity
Production is dedicated
Origination Associates work in the back office on the agreed workstreams.
Buy-side experience lived from the inside.
Nadir CHAIBI is Founder & Managing Partner of NC Corporate. A graduate of emlyon business school, he has nearly 10 years of buy-side M&A experience, acquired in both PE-backed and listed corporate environments. His background allowed him to participate in approximately 30 acquisitions, mainly involving SMEs and mid-market companies, from small-cap to lower mid-market.
This experience was acquired on the acquirer side: target search, opportunity analysis, transaction execution, adviser coordination, support for external growth strategies and integration of the acquired companies.
NC Corporate was built from hands-on M&A experience within acquiring organisations, not from a prospecting model later adapted to M&A.

Senior M&A
Senior M&A : the visible interface of the mandate
- - Client counterpart
- - Strategic framing and perimeter validation
- - Exchanges with owners
- - Opportunity qualification and arbitration
- - Negotiation / execution when activated
- - Supervision of the set-up
The Senior M&A professional supervises the set-up, exchanges with the client, carries interactions with the owners approached and qualifies opportunities when a conversation opens. They remain the identified counterpart throughout the mandate and can continue into execution or integration when needed.
M&A Origination Associates
Back-office production capacity
- - Screening, market mapping, scoring and enrichment
- - Decision-maker identification and outreach preparation
- - Operational sequence management, back-office follow-up and reminders
- - CRM, relational memory and reporting preparation
M&A Origination Associates mainly come from B2B business development and outbound. They are selected for rigour, research capability, execution discipline and mastery of outreach and follow-up processes.
External interface
Senior M&A professionals mobilised by NC Corporate are experienced practitioners, mainly from Corporate M&A environments. M&A Origination Associates never interact directly with the client, the entrepreneur or individual buyer client, or the owners approached.
You know who works on your mandate.
A Senior M&A professional remains your strategic counterpart. The M&A Origination Associates assigned to the mandate work in the back office on the agreed workstreams. Reporting, outreach sequences and relational memory are structured within one set-up.
A single senior interface. Dedicated origination capacity behind it.
Significant back-office production capacity, with the external relationship carried exclusively by senior profiles.
Confidentiality does not prevent proof.
NC Corporate publishes no client name, no logo and no identifiable strategy. Real situations are presented anonymously to show the environments encountered without exposing the parties.
