What A Private Equity Firm Looks For Before Investing In Your Company?

Is Your Business Ready To Transition with Petwin Private Equity?

One of the first questions we are often asked at Petwin Private Equity is what we look for when making investments. While the answer could easily be “it depends” the fact is that we do have a set of characteristics across both operating, financial, and industry categories that guide us when looking at a business.

At Petwin Private Equity, we tend to look at a few fundamental characteristics of a business including: 

  • The financial performance. EBITDA, cash conversion, ability to service debt, and the revenue composition. 
  • Operating characteristics. The management team, the unique nature of the business, and how we can help.
  • The industry it operates in. We prefer business to business companies in industries that aren’t prone to further disruption. 

We don’t use a formula or a scorecard to rank and assess these businesses, but rather use this to take a holistic view- is this an investment that would make sense for us, and would also make sense for the business owner? 

We strive to find win-win situations, where the business owner can confidently transition their business, and where we can help add value and preserve the legacy of the business.
