Private Equity – Strategic Investment and Value Creation with PrestaFlex




https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Opjb1oZlGGI




In today’s competitive financial environment, private equity (PE) plays a central role in driving corporate transformation, growth, and long-term value creation. Whether it’s a buyout, LBO, growth capital, or a secondary transaction, private equity blends strategic vision with financial engineering to help companies expand, restructure, or reposition.



At PrestaFlex, we act as an independent, trusted advisor between investors and companies, structuring transactions that align the objectives of both parties — those seeking capital and those providing it. Our experience in Switzerland and across Europe enables us to handle the complexity of private-equity financing with precision, efficiency, and confidentiality.







1. Understanding Private Equity Strategies



Private equity encompasses several forms of investment based on the company’s maturity, capital structure, and strategic goals:




Buyout / Leveraged Buyout (LBO): Acquisition financed with a mix of equity and debt, often to optimize capital efficiency and improve operational performance.



Management Buyout (MBO): Acquisition by the existing management team, ensuring continuity and strong alignment of interests.



Management Buy-in (MBI): External managers take control, bringing fresh leadership and strategic vision.



Add-on & Build-up: Growth through acquisitions of complementary companies, often under a single PE sponsor.



Secondary Buyout: Sale of a stake from one PE fund to another, typically at a later stage.



Public-to-Private / Privatization: Delisting a public company to restructure away from market pressures.



Corporate Divestiture: Sale of non-core activities by a large group to refocus or raise capital.



Growth / Expansion Capital: Financing for established firms seeking to accelerate development, internationalize, or launch new products.



PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity): Private investments in listed companies.



Investor buyout by management & GB stakes: Structuring transactions where management or new investors replace existing shareholders.




Each strategy requires precise financial structuring and a deep understanding of capital markets and corporate dynamics — areas where PrestaFlex brings proven expertise.
