Types of Private Equity Funds

Buyout: funds provide equity capital to mature firms in need of capital or ownership transition.

Venture Capital: funds provide equity capital to start-ups and companies in the early stages of growth.

Growth Capital: funds provide expansion capital to enable a company to scale a business.

Special Situations: funds tend to invest in mezzanine or mid-layer debt capital, which provides more protection than equity financing in the event of default.

Benefits

&Challenges

BenefitsAllow entrepreneurs to build their company with OPM

Private equity provides the funding that a company needs to expand its business.

Offers a number of value added services.

Company increases it value and ultimately has a liquidity event (e.g. IPO or sells to another company).

ChallengesLengthy and complex process

In the deal negotiation stage, you will have to pay for legal and accounting fees.

Investors become part owners of business - founder loss of autonomy or control.

Recommendations

Provide more infrastructure facilities.

 

The company involved should be in charge of the technical project management, while local staff can do the administrative part.

 

Need to ensure that governments and regulators around the world do not take actions that inhibit private equity firms from achieving superior returns for their investors.

The industry needs to continue to expand its post-investment, value-add capabilities

The current low market values also offer opportunities for Venture Capital and Expansion Capital funds

PE players need to intensify their work on generating appropriate returns
