Searching with keywords:
When searching for deals falling under a specific subsector:
-Check off the sector it falls under
-In the keyword box, type out the keywords you’re looking for
Basic Example: If you’re looking for contract research organizations, check off Other Services and type “contract research organization” into the keyword box (you cannot always rely on acronyms).
However, some keywords are less consistent, such as ambulatory surgical centers. These deals could be described in our database as “ambulatory surgery services” or “ambulatory surgical centers,” so typing “ambulatory surg” into the keyword box should retrieve all the variations.
A neonatologist group, falling under Physician Medical Groups, could be described as “neonatal services,” “neonatology group,” or “neonatologist.” Entering “neonat” into the keyword box will retrieve these variations.
