Q. What is the best way to use the M&A Insight merger and acquisition transaction data?

Thus, the most meaningful information M&A Insight can provide is transactional data by "industry", which M&A Insight groups by 4-digit S.I.C. code. Second, searches can also be made by "size" either transaction size or sellers' revenue size.
