Pullach / London, 5 October 2026 M&A REVIEW and the platform fintalent.com have published the M&A Tools & Solutions Handbook 2026. The English-language special edition maps more than 200 tools and solutions across eight chapters of the deal lifecycle, from strategy and sourcing through data rooms and due diligence to post-merger integration.

Every entry follows the same format, including a separate block on AI capabilities. Inclusion is editorial and free of charge; no listing can be bought and no tool is scored. According to the handbook's data page, 60% of the tools state AI capabilities in their core product. Virtual data rooms form the largest category with 39 entries, post-merger integration the smallest with 13. 53% of the vendors are headquartered in the US, 21% in the DACH region.

The handbook draws on the tool collection of the fintalent.com network together with M&A Science, the market screening of the digitalisation working group of the German M&A Association (BMA), and editorial research by mandaco and M&A REVIEW. It is published as a continuously updated ePaper; the 2027 edition will be presented at the M&A Excellence Days, 23 to 24 February 2027 in Bad Vilbel, near Frankfurt, Germany.
