What Reciprocus International does

Reciprocus International Pte Ltd is a Singapore-headquartered corporate finance advisory boutique founded in 2011. The firm operates from International Plaza in Singapore's Central Business District and is led by Founder & Chairman David Emery, alongside an affiliated entity Reciprocus Financial Services Pte Ltd that co-invests in client transactions.

Reciprocus offers four integrated service lines: M&A Advisory (mergers, acquisitions, divestments, strategic investments, joint ventures), Capital Raising (access to a network of financial and strategic investors across company stages), Market Research (in-depth market studies and reports), and Business Advisory (expansion planning and execution support). Its go-to-market is a consultation-led boutique model — prospective clients request a free consultation via the corporate website and receive a personalized response within one business day — targeting mid-to-large companies across the business cycle that require cross-border transaction execution, particularly in and out of Asia Pacific.

The firm generates revenue through advisory fees on professional services engagements, with custom quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Completed transactions visible on the firm's site span counterparties including OK Group, Bisnode D&B Switzerland, GBGroup-related acquisitions (IDscan Biometrics, DecTech Solutions), and Sierra (SIT Matters), demonstrating both APAC and non-APAC deal flow. The firm carries no disclosed funding, no subsidiaries, no patents, and no technology product — its value proposition rests on human advisor relationships and an investor network rather than a software or AI platform.
