Increase in value of private equity
Private equity: doubling the enterprise value of your portfolio companies
Accounting for around 50% of sales, purchasing is the most important earnings factor in companies. If purchasing costs can be reduced by 8%, the company's earnings can be increased by up to 50% in a short period of time. With an average leverage share of approx. 50%, the company value can be doubled within 12 months through purchasing optimization measures.
Private equity companies like to use the services of Kloepfel Consulting because these value enhancement effects are important to them for their portfolio. Private equity companies also appreciate Kloepfel Consulting's 100% success-based fee model. If we don't save money, we don't earn a fee. We provide regular support during the due diligence process with analyses to evaluate potential savings in purchasing and the supply chain. If the company is purchased, we guarantee the realization of the analyzed potential in the form of a joint project. In this way, our industry teams quickly recoup large parts of the purchase price in the form of increased earnings.
