Comprehensive solutions to create value for your portfolio company

In today’s deal market, maximising returns while minimising transaction risk is more complex than ever before. That is why it is critical to create sustainable and transformative value during each stage of the transaction life cycle to ensure that investor returns are protected and not eroded or destroyed. To accomplish this, private equity firms require data-driven insights and outcome-focused solutions—and highly experienced advisors to assist with disciplined due diligence, integration and separation planning, and ongoing process and technology enhancements.

Maximising returns can be broadly categorised into the following stages:

  • Originate and evaluate
  • Post-close
  • Value enhancement
  • Exit readiness
  • Exit

 

Originate and evaluate

The value creation potential of an investment is a continuous process. From origination, and strategy to deal close, a robust yet commercially relevant and savvy diligence on financial, tax (including tax structuring), operational, IT, cyber, and people  needs to be undertaken and the findings considered when evaluating the deal as a whole, including the impact of findings on valuation and transaction documentation.

 

Post-close

A poorly planned or executed integration can significantly diminish the value of a deal.  Discipline is absolutely crucial as the first 100 days post-close are important for a purchaser to put in place their transition plan and execute them. Getting the buy-in of stakeholders and having them work towards the common goal is important, in addition to having regular check-ins and clear action plans that consider the dynamic nature of businesses.

 

Value-enhancement

Value enhancement include areas of revenue assurance, revenue acceleration, cost containment and risk mitigation. Achieving the goal of value enhancement should be data-driven and outcome-focused. This may include reviewing, transforming and improving existing work processes and business practices, addressing people, processes, and technology all with the sole aim of enhancing value.

 

Exit readiness and exit

Whether selling a business or taking it public, a successful exit requires discipline and planning. This entails detailed assessments on the best possible exit route, pre-exit positioning, determining the best means to exit including whether the business should be divested as a whole or in parts, succession planning, and potentially undertaking a vendor due diligence or putting together a data room to be ready for the exit. These steps will help create a clear approach towards marketing the exit, mitigating the risks and driving value on exit.
