Private Equity Advisory
The Opportunity
Wilson Perumal & Company helps top Private Equity firms filter imperfect information to make smart bets quickly. Our firm is unique in its team breadth and experience, and we employ distinctive analytical capabilities, such as Square Root Costing, to help clients identify strategic, financial and operational drivers. We provide top PE funds with insights that no other partner can provide.
Our team partners with you in two key areas:
Due Diligence
We help the best PE funds by injecting fresh perspective through our unique analytics, supporting deal discipline and helping shape decisions regarding when to deploy capital and when to walk away. Our approach is a necessary arrow in any PE fund’s investment quiver when aiming to produce winning deal theses and returns. Read more
When speed and accuracy are crucial and investment professionals demand insights for deal thesis logic, we can answer questions such as:
- What products can be rationalized to remove cost and complexity, while maintaining the company’s revenue profile and staging the company for growth?
- What products and processes generate and destroy the company’s net profit? What actions should be taken?
- Where are a company’s break points for fixed cost release and resultant higher profitability?
- How should the company invest spare asset capacity? What mix of service levels, working capital, and asset utilization will provide optimum profitability?
Value Creation in Portfolio Companies
Since the firm’s inception, Wilson Perumal & Company has been known for its unique ability to partner with management teams to unlock a company’s value. Our clients rate us in a class of our own on our ability to provide strategic level insight and then translate that guidance into operational impact and value creation. Read more
We can assist in post-close activity in many tested ways including:
- Full-potential diagnostic. We help define areas of greatest opportunity and a roadmap to achieve success. The diagnostic includes identification of priority initiatives (with value-at-stake), detailed action plans, and allocation of accountability
- Management workshops, which provide a structured fact-based forum for sponsors and managers to develop both 100-day, 1-year, and multi-year value-creation plans
- Turnaround strategies. Through complexity cost analysis and organizational simplification, we can identify ways to reshape a company’s cost structure to free up cash flows and boost profitability.
Wilson Perumal & Company partners with the management team in the development and implementation of the initiatives. Our success is defined by our ability to drive actual change in companies, not just a discussion of it.
