KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Private equity is a concept that sits within the financial landscape, known primarily as the private markets. It tends to be more complex than common banking. It is a form of financing where money is invested into a company in exchange for an ownership stake.
- Depending on where in the landscape your business operates, will depend on the private equity investment companies available to you. Each handles a specific sector.
- Instead of simply building a company and selling it, part of the strategy should be to make yourself known to reputable private equity firms.
- They key element in all areas of PE, is to ensure that there is growth potential. Whatever happens, the business must be undervalued in terms of what can happen when strategic growth and investment is applied.
