Raising private equity

Private equity is medium to long-term funding provided to unquoted businesses with a high growth potential in return for an equity stake. Private Equity is designed to fund growth companies over a three to seven year horizon where there is significant commercial risk. It is often used in combination with loan finance to build a capital structure that maximises financial return whilst managing financial risk.

Why choose PKF?
Finding a suitable private equity partner can be a long and difficult process. There are very many growing businesses competing for limited reserves of private equity. It is also important to choose the most appropriate provider to suit your business and to know the prevailing market pricing norms. Expert advice is therefore invaluable.

PKF's specialist team can guide you through every stage of the process, from identifying sources of funding to final negotiations. Furthermore, we have established professional relationships with nearly every provider of finance, so a personal introduction from us enhances your proposal's credibility.

Our team includes many consultants who have worked for the Big Four, so we have wide experience of large as well as small organisations. In addition to technical expertise, we pride ourselves on a personal approach that can help to make the whole process far less stressful and more financially rewarding.
