Technology-driven PE solutions that generate value
2 min read

Private equity (PE) firms play a significant role in strengthening an economy by funding fast-growing businesses. They also fund startups with high growth potential. In addition, they could look to buy an entire company with valuable assets. Often, a group of investors in the PE market de-list a company by buying all the shares. Since PE deals require more money, investors must find a way to ensure high returns. This is where technology comes in. Technology-driven PE solutions can help with research, analysis, due diligence and other processes.

How do technological solutions drive value for PE firms?

The first benefit of technology for PE firms is improved due diligence. Before investing in a company, a PE firm will analyse its growth potential. This could include cross-checking financial statements for the past few years to determine its financial stability. It would also check its debt. A company could conceal information to conclude a PE deal. Manual due diligence may never uncover this information, whereas technological solutions can analyse financial statements and predict a company's growth.

There are multiple processes a PE firm needs to manage, such as deal sourcing, due diligence, portfolio management, target evaluation and deal closing. These processes need to be streamlined to improve efficiency. Completing them manually is time-consuming, and technological solutions could expedite the process so PE firms could focus only on those crucial activities that drive value.

Some PE firms look for technological solutions to manage performance of diverse portfolios. Automated portfolio-monitoring solutions have resulted in such firms making better decisions. PE solutions could track the performance of portfolio companies.
