As part of our readiness advisory services we always start with obtaining an understanding of the Equity Story of the founders/business owner. This is always an important first step to convince would be investors on why they should invest in the company hence this is also an area we spend significant amount of time to understand and speak to founders/business owners. While many founder/business owners that we speak to have a strong and captivating story the story will need to be backed up by practical measures on how the founder/business owners are on track to realising their story. Based on our observations we note that a good equity story to attract investors typically have the following elements :   --> What is our unique selling point and what sets us apart from our competitors? --> How are we going to look to balance the need to grow and scale vs the route to profitability?  --> How do we intend to create value both at the present and in future? --> What are the emerging threats and trends facing the business and are we ready for them? However, one area that we see that some founders/business owners may overlook is: “What are the measures used to track that we are achieving what we set out as part of our equity story and are these reliable basis for measurement?” Equally important: “Does our financials/forecast paint the same consistent picture and message”. At the end of the day the company will need to convince the investor to take the plunge to invest in the company and having a solid equity story which can be backed up by consistent messaging in terms of the financial and the forecast will give the company a lot more credibility and confidence during the investor pitch and at Deloitte we can assist to provide an independent viewpoint prior to your investor pitch so you can be better prepared for the entire experience.

While the allure of #mergersandacquisitions often steals the corporate spotlight, it's the relentless pursuit of operational excellence and organic growth that truly fuels long-term success. Fundamentally... ⚙️ It’s about fine-tuning the engine—enhancing every cog in our operational machine to serve our customers with unmatched efficiency. 🌱 Then there’s cultivating our own garden—nurturing organic growth by branching out into new markets that complement our core, just as a gardener tends to each plant to create a diverse, robust ecosystem. Inorganic growth is just part of the equation. I believe it's the day-to-day improvements and organic expansions that write our success stories, and the holistic view that often goes unnoticed in the shadow of big deals. 🔍How have you seen operational excellence or organic growth propel a company forward? #BusinessGrowth #OperationalExcellence #CorporateDevelopment --- Securities offered through Finalis Securities LLC Member FINRA / SIPC.

Private equity and technology companies have had a long love affair and it looks like the romance will continue with a number of mature technology companies in discussions with private equity groups. PageUp has reportedly received an NBIO from EQT Group for what may be a billion dollar transaction. Vista Equity Partners is reportedly chasing CriticalArc for what may be a mid $50m transaction. Potentia Capital is reportedly looking at divesting its interest in Newbook and I would imagine that they are still exploring options regarding their interest in Micromine Hudson is shopping their texhnology platform UPPER Group. Thoma Bravo is considering a tilt at Iress. In my view this signals a couple of things. 1. Mature technology businesses are still considered great investment opportunities for private equity. The operational levers, scale and efficiency make them attractive assets. 2. IPO markets will benefit from this activity in the medium (3-5 year) term. Technology remains a central thematic for many investment managers and will continue to however it appears that scale is now more important than ever. I am looking forward to following these transactions to see whether multiples have been impacted and therefor valuations. #privateequity #corporateadvisory #corporatelaw #takeovers #technology

The preparation and process involved in this transformational journey are both exhilarating and intricate. Having been part of this incredible journey, I've witnessed firsthand the meticulous planning, strategy, and dedication that goes into taking a company public. From strategic evaluations, financial readiness, to regulatory compliance, every step is crucial in paving the way for a successful IPO. Exploring the nuances involved in this process reveals the depth of collaboration among various teams - from legal advisors ensuring compliance to financial experts strategizing the valuation and underwriting process.
