Why private equity • Enables growth • Efficient and creative capital • Brings insights, knowledge, expertise and relationships • Organize the business better • Plays the ‘Challenger’, ‘Critic’ role • Helps expands management bandwidth • Improvement in corporate governance • Perception improvement

What PE brings besides capital - operational • Management information system • Marketing strategy • International expansion • Product costing / production flow analysis • External relationship management • Inventory and supply chain management • Internal controls
What PE looks in • Promoter and management team • Ownership vs management • Track record of their dealings with business partners • Delegation / micro management • Accommodative to outside investors • Execution capabilities • Clarity in vision / mission • Business model • Sustainability of business • Margins • Value proposition • Innovation / growth potential • Differentiating factor • Position of the company vis-à-vis industry • Corporate governance • Transparency • Quality of reporting • Valuation • Handling of softer aspects
