From the first operational assessment before signing to the final preparation for exit, pe-top partners with funds and portfolio companies at every stage where operational expertise creates or protects value.
An operator's assessment across eight dimensions — commercial model, delivery capability, management team, processes, value creation potential, operational risk, transformation readiness, and exit positioning. Completed in 4–7 days including a site visit.
Operational perspective on target evaluation and sector screening — identifying where operational leverage is highest and where operational risk could impair the thesis before it is tested in diligence.
Drafting of the 100-day plan and securing management buy-in before and immediately after close. Translating the investment thesis into an operational agenda the management team owns and believes in.
Hands-on support through the critical first 100 days — ensuring the operational priorities identified in diligence translate into early wins, credibility with management, and a clear path for the hold period.
Redesigning how the business creates and delivers value — from customer-facing commercial models through to operational processes and organisational design.
Defining where the business needs to go and building the organisational capability and commitment to get there — without losing the team along the way.
Systematic improvement of EBITDA through lean operations, commercial excellence, cost reduction, and working capital optimisation — grounded in execution, not theory.
Ensuring the business is operationally credible to the next buyer — clean processes, robust management information, a compelling operational narrative, and a management team that can stand up to scrutiny.
