Private Equity Consulting: What it actually means?
Private equity consulting supports PE funds and their portfolio companies across the deal lifecycle — pre-deal commercial and operational due diligence, post-deal value-creation planning, and exit readiness. Consultants translate the investment thesis into quantified initiatives in areas such as pricing, sales effectiveness, procurement savings, working-capital release, digital enablement and bolt-on M&A. They set up tracking so fund and management can see value being delivered within the holding period, which is often short. This is important because PE returns depend on early, visible performance uplift, not just multiple expansion. Strong PE advisory makes the business more sellable and maximises equity value at exit.
