What is Private Equity?
Private equity refers to investments made by private individuals, wealthy individuals, and institutions in privately-owned companies or ventures. These investments are not traded publicly on stock exchanges. Instead, private equity firms raise capital from various sources (such as pension funds, endowments, and high-net-worth individuals) and use that capital to acquire, invest in, and support companies with high growth potential.
Importance of the Lower Middle Market
The lower middle market plays a vital role in the economy, representing businesses with annual revenues ranging from $5 million to $100 million. These businesses often face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to growth, succession planning, strategic initiatives, and operational efficiency. Understanding the dynamics of the lower middle market is crucial for entrepreneurs and investors looking to capitalize on this segment.
