European Private Equity: A Practical Guide for Vendors, Managers and Entrepreneurs - Tapa blanda

It is frequently reported that the supply of money in Europe's private equity market far exceeds the demand. This has led to many potential borrowers to believe that private equity finance is easily obtainable. However, with the average deal size almost doubling in the last four years and recent dot.com failures highlighting investor risk, lenders are introducing more stringent criteria. Many commentators believe the appearance of oversupply reflects the failure of private firms to adjust to these new criteria. This new book should ensure you are fully prepared and can fully successfully raise and utilize private equity in Europe. With an in-depth and comprehensive examination of the influences, trends and pressures which drive the investors' decision making process, "European Private Equity" is a valuable and practical handbook for entrepreneurs seeking private equity funding. Ten comprehensive chapters examine each aspect of private equity including the investment process; the principles and practice of investment structuring; selecting and approaching potential investors; due diligence and how it can be best carried out; the legal stages; the crucial area of post-investment relations with investors; and exit routes for investors. Drawing on real-life experiences of entrepreneurs, this authoritative, step-by-step guide is a valuable companion for those seeking to raise private equity finance.
