Hi everyone,
I’m curious about the dynamics of private equity firms backing independent sponsors in the lower middle market. Specifically, I’d like to understand the key benefits and potential challenges of this model from both the sponsor and investor perspectives.
How do PE firms structure their support, such as capital, deal sourcing, or operational guidance? Are there particular sectors or deal sizes where this partnership is most effective?
Additionally, what trends are emerging in the market and how do independent sponsors differentiate themselves to attract PE backing?
Insights, experiences, or examples would be greatly appreciated.
