In this episode the team at Ascent Consulting digs deeper into private equity in the construction sector and how they help companies prepare for exit and growth.
CEO Adam Cooper breaks down the perspective of private equity firms pre acquisition and post acquisition. Senior Consultant Gregory Gorman unpacks for listeners how each private equity firm has its own mandate and strategy as they prepare to acquire a construction company.
Both Adam and Gregory speak from their experience working behind the scenes with private equity firms pre acquisition to augment the due diligence process.
Post acquisition, Ascent Consulting has worked alongside private equity firms to fine tune and retool newly purchased companies to better fit into the firm’s purchase strategy. Senior Consultant Jeff Robertson asks Adam and Gregory to break down the value Ascent Consulting brings to the process as a third party. They also discuss the ins and outs of work for private equity firms, the timing of those projects and their experience working with legacy and new ownership.
