How do business owners find the right private equity partner?
Different private equity firms focus on different sorts of businesses although there are some common themes. While Australians often use the terms venture capital and private equity interchangeably, venture investors will usually look more at early stage businesses whereas private equity investors will usually look at more mature, established, businesses. Private equity can help management teams to acquire businesses from founders through management buyouts (MBOs). The new capital structure can then help those businesses to grow organically or by acquisition. Examples include ACL (Australian Centre for Languages), Netti and Godfreys. |
