Private Equity

Private equity capital is typically used to fund new technologies, expand working capital within an owned company, make acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet for private companies, or to conduct buyouts resulting in the delisting public companies.  This type of capital is normally funded by institutional investors and is used to buy, improve upon, and then sell businesses in an effort to realize a return on investment.  Private equity is utilized to create additional value for the business and then profit from the cash flows that it produces and from the capital gains upon exit.

Private equity investors are strongly focused on the cash flow of the business.  The cash flow from operations is used to leverage up (increase debt) aggressively to increase the return on the company's invested capital.  The cash flow generated by the business is analyzed and monitored closely to ensure that the debt service from the additional debt can be met.

While venture capital is typically invested in earlier stage growth companies, private equity investments are generally made to more mature businesses, often contributing both equity and debt (or some hybrid) to the transaction.
