Have you explored opportunities in the private markets?
Today, perhaps more than ever, private business owners are finding ways to grow and scale their businesses without the need to raise capital from public markets.
In addition to the costs of heightened regulatory scrutiny and disclosure required of public companies, there are a number of more recent factors that are bolstering the trend of businesses staying private:
- The proliferation of private equity firms has created more competition to woo quality family businesses by offering creative acquisition structures
- A boom in private credit has increased the availability of debt capital and afforded owners more funding options, allowing for more creativity in structuring private debt arrangements for the growth of their business
- Modern trust strategies present beneficiaries with more avenues to invest in private businesses, and grantors with more ways to preserve private ownership of their businesses for the long term
These forces are expected to continue to support burgeoning activity in private markets, providing new opportunities for business owners. While this resurgence of investment in private businesses and private credit can be attractive solutions for business owners, they require significant evaluation in the context of your long-term goals.
