Private equity firms

We can provide recommendations on the appropriate private equity firms to approach for equity.

Private equity firms are professional managers with a fiduciary responsibility to their funds. Their sources of funds include banks, superannuation and other pension funds, insurance companies and wealthy individuals.  The benefits of private equity involvement are:

• Transactions are private and allow for management and old equity to participate
• May be an excellent step in preparing a company for the public market
• Avoids distribution of sensitive commercial information to competitors
• Partner with sophisticated equity providers experienced in growth strategies

• Important information about advice
