Business development

Private equity firms have become more and more specialised in the way that they originate transactions and interact with markets. Many funds are sector focused, and most are run along sector lines. By organising themselves in this way, private equity professionals seek to develop a deep understanding of, and relationships within, particular sectors and sub-sectors, placing them in a stronger position to originate and evaluate buyouts in these industries.

• At Skillcapital, we help our clients to develop their capabilities within their chosen sectors, drawing on our sector knowledge and connections with business leaders in specific industries around the Globe.
• We enable conversations between private equity professionals and management teams, giving both parties the opportunity to exchange their thoughts on market trends and opportunities, providing a basis for future conversations around transactions as and when they arise.
• We ‘map’ target sectors, identifying those companies and management teams that are performing well and increasing growth. This process often stimulates transactions and enables our clients to get to know potential buy-in candidates.
