Description: Provides an overview of the private equity process. Private equity is a rapidly growing segment of the capital markets that funds; mature and growing companies during the pre-public growth phase. Many companies are sold to strategic buyers as an alternative to going public. The private equity market also provides capital for LBOs and MBOs.
