Private Equity Fund

Private equity can be a valuable source of capital and expertise for small business owners. The best known type of small-business focused private equity firms are called small business investment companies, or SBICs. Although other structures exist, private equity funds are generally organized as either a limited partnership or LLC. Private equity firms generally receive a return on their investment through one of three ways: an IPO, a sale or merger, or a recapitalization. Only certain types of startup companies fit the right profile to raise their small business funding with private equity funds. The key to a good match with a private equity investor is preparation. Ask your lender, attorney or accountant if they know any private equity funds in your area or that invest in your industry.
