A checklist for Private Equity investors
Unlock Growth and Maximise Value in Your Portfolio Companies
You’ve identified a promising idea to drive growth in a portfolio company or acquisition target - but how can you be confident your value creation thesis will deliver? Whether you’re building an investment case or preparing for exit, getting the fundamentals right is essential.
Our commercial research team, White Space Strategy, provide their perspective on how to bullet-proof your value proposition.
A successful proposition starts with solving a real customer problem. Even with flawless execution, if your offering isn’t what customers actually want, it won’t gain traction - putting your value proposition at risk.
1. Meet Strong Customer Needs
A successful proposition starts with solving a real customer problem. Even with flawless execution, if your offering isn’t what customers actually want, it won’t gain traction - putting your value creation plan at risk.
2. Make It Easy to Buy
The best propositions make purchasing effortless. Customers don't need to think, they know. Clearly defined needs met by clearly defined service offerings.
3. Communicate Clearly
Even the best proposition can fail if customers don’t understand its value. No matter how complex the solution, you must be able to explain the benefits simply and concisely.
4. Stand Out from the Competition
To win, your proposition must be clearly differentiated focussing on the businesses unique strengths and making it clear what sets the offering apart from others.
