1. Private Equity is one of the most important sources of finance and even if in the emerging case, it was shown to be essentially bad, the main motive of private equity firms is to find companies who have potential for growth and offer them capital, strategy, talent that is needed for the company and increase its market value. As a private equity specialist, I would look out for target firms like competitive products or services, which has the potential for a higher growth opportunity and also a firm having a stable management that is wanting to translate the negotiated goods into reality.
