Abstract

Three notable developments increasingly characterize the PE business. First, the channels for transacting (buying or selling) have become multi-track, as this chapter attempts to show. Second, participating institutions since the 1970s have become more diverse, and their capital resources have increased considerably. Third, business owners willing to sell part or all of their enterprises have grown in number. Owners include independent entrepreneurs whose business is at an early stage of development (start-ups), family-owned businesses that need to manage successions, owners of established companies, conglomerates or industrial-trading groups that want to shed or acquire selected activities. Other reasons for such transactions include realizing attractive opportunities, concentrating on core business where management’s strength is prominent, and reducing debt.
