We help ambitious leadership teams replace overwhelm with order, boosting profits and elevating their businesses. Isn’t it time you conquered your business mountain?
As a young entrepreneur, I was always fascinated by stories of companies that were about to fail but were saved by smart leaders.
These weren't just about fixing money problems; they were about smart thinking and big changes that turned struggling companies into leaders in their industries.
Nowadays, private equity (PE) firms are doing something similar. They buy companies and not only bring in money but also bring in big changes:
Establish a great leadership team
Set new goals and directions for the company
Share the best ways of doing things across the company
Make the company run more efficiently
Boost
growth
Research from Pepperdine University shows these PE companies are aiming for big returns, like 25-30% each year. And Mantra Investment Partners say their funds did even better, with an average of 38% returns in the 2010s.
But here’s the exciting part – there’s a big chance for smaller businesses too. Each year, around 180,000 small to medium-sized businesses struggle, not because they can’t be successful, but because they don’t have the right strategies or people to run things well. These businesses are usually in the millions in revenue, not startups, and they have a lot of potential. But they’re often ignored by big PE firms or the owners don’t want to sell.
Over the last twenty years, I’ve figured out a way for leaders like you to make these PE-style changes in your own business without selling it. This means you can make your business stronger and more successful, just like those big companies do, but on your own terms.
“PE-style changes” refer to the strategic and operational improvements that private equity (PE) firms often make when they take over a company. Here’s what that means in simpler terms:
Leadership Effectiveness
PE firms might reorganize the leadership team and/or bring in some people who can drive the company towards success.
Strategic Redirection
They set new goals and strategies, maybe even changing what the company focuses on or how it operates to make it more competitive or profitable.
Best Practices
They look at what works best in different parts of the business or even from other companies, and spread these ideas around to improve overall performance.
Operational Efficiency
This means cutting down on waste, making processes smoother, and often reducing costs to make the company run more effectively.
Growth Initiatives
They push for expansion by improved marketing and sales, entering new markets, launching new products, or through acquisitions to increase the company's size and revenue.
For someone not selling to a PE firm but wanting to make these changes:
- You would look at your leadership and see if they're the right fit for where you want your business to go.
- You'd rethink your business strategy, maybe focusing on areas that have been underutilized or exploring new opportunities.
- You'd learn from every part of your business, figuring out what works best and then applying those lessons everywhere else.
- You'd streamline how your business operates, looking for ways to do things faster, cheaper, and better.
- You'd look for ways to grow, whether that's through marketing, new products, or even small-scale partnerships or acquisitions.
By adopting these PE-style changes, you can aim to transform your business into a more efficient, strategic, and growth-oriented entity, all while keeping control of your company.
