Blacktrace is often commissioned by private equity firms to coordinate corporate exits. Private equity firms normally limit their participation to a period of between five to seven years. At the end of this investment period, businesses can be sold to other financial parties, strategic parties or to the management team.

Private equity firms approach us typically when they have questions on the following issues:

• Which parties are possible candidates for purchasing a business from the investment portfolio?
• Does the management team want to acquire the shares and, if so, which providers of finance should be considered?
• Can Blacktrace look for a national or international buyer for a company in the investment portfolio and also conduct the negotiations?
