PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS

Attract financial partner to your business

What are private equity funds:

A private equity fund is a financial institutional investor that seeks to employ capital in mature businesses, which possess an attractive portfolio of products or services, face the prospect of dynamic growth acceleration, and require extra funding to meet this goal.

Following the purchase of shares in the company, private equity funds are typically involved, for a couple of years, in developing high level business strategy and monitoring results, but rarely in the management of the company. Their main goal is to maximize returns from businesses they invest in.

The final stage of the private equity funds’ engagement is the divestment by the fund, commonly known as “exit”. The most common ways are:

sale to an industry investor
sale to the managers (Management Buy-Out)
initial public offering on a stock exchange
resale to initial owners of the business

By attracting private equity funds as investors, business owners may benefit from the:

Possibility of raising additional capital for growth or acquisitions.
Possibility of gradually selling the entire business.
Access to best practice management and business development methods.
Expert knowledge of fund managers, usually specialized in specific market segments.
Funds’ extensive contacts with related companies, banks, advisory firms and regulatory authorities.
