PRIVATE EQUITY TRANSITIONAL EXCELLENCE
While family- or founder-owned companies are attractive targets for Private Equity firms, there are often issues associated with acquiring this type of business because the culture and ways of doing business are unique and difficult to uncover. The personal nature and influence of leadership in these companies can make getting to the truth regarding the culture and current management problematic. In fact, many Private Equity firms find that this is one of the greatest areas of concern during due diligence and presents some of the most intractable challenges post-close.
