Case Studies:
Increase Our Business Value
Overview – A private equity group purchased a family business with intent to take it public. Company is a US manufacturer and distributor of B2B products.
Primary Issues – In the prior year leading to the sale, the seller inflated the EV/EBITDA ratio by slashing SG&A and eliminating most white collar positions leaving only a small operating team in place to keep the factory running. The price the Buyer paid didn’t match the business value. Additionally, the company products were dated and sales were declining. The remaining staff were decimated and demoralized. Analysts did not view an IPO favorably.
Statement of Work –
- Rapidly develop and introduce new product portfolio and replace dated lineup.
- Interim manage Marketing, Engineering, & Quality while internal teams were rebuilt.
