How we help
Commercial decisions across the deal cycle
Common questions from investors
-
What does a private equity consulting firm do?
A private equity consulting firm helps investors and their portfolio companies make decisions across the deal cycle: which markets and targets to pursue, whether an investment case holds, how to create value during the hold period, and how to prepare for exit. Some firms focus on commercial questions, such as markets, customers and growth; others focus on operations, technology or finance.
-
How do consultants support private equity portfolio companies?
Consultants support portfolio companies in delivering the investment case, often working alongside management and the investor’s operating partners. Common work includes value creation and 100-day plans, growth and go-to-market strategy, screening add-on acquisitions and customer research. Support can be a single project or recurring work through the hold period, such as tracking customer retention.
-
When should a private equity firm hire a strategy consultant?
When an investment or portfolio decision needs independent commercial evidence, specialist sector expertise or extra capacity on a tight timetable. Common points are testing a market or target before bidding, commercial due diligence before signing, developing value creation plans before and after closing, and preparing the equity story before exit. Investors also bring in consultants when a portfolio company misses its plan and the cause is unclear.
-
Do you only work with private equity investors?
No. We also work with portfolio companies and management teams, with corporate acquirers and leadership teams outside private equity, and with the advisors who support them. We serve clients across North America, the UK and Europe.
