Private Equity or Venture Capitalist Sale For larger businesses, or those where there is an opportunity to scale up quickly, selling the company to a Private Equity (PE) company or Venture Capital (VC) firm may be attractive. In order to appeal to these buyers, the business would need a solid structure and an experienced management teamwhich has been instrumental in its success. Generally speaking, PE and VC companies will not run the business themselves, although in the last ten years, since the financial crisis, we have experience of a small number of PE firms which have actively run the business. Partial Sale If you want to either retain some benefits of ownership in your business after succeeding the everyday running of the company, or you are unable to secure a PE or VC deal which works for you and the ongoing future of your company, you might, instead, consider an initial, partial sale. This could relieve you of your responsibilities and allow you to return to the situation later to complete the sale when the time is right.
