Financial Environment for Buy-
Outs and Private Equity Financing
Many private equity firms are keen on financially supporting the
expansion of businesses that want to grow and require additional
funding, especially as a co-investor alongside the existing corporate
management team. But expectation management and open communication
channels on both sides of the negotiation table are important
as private equity and the target business have strong interests
and many ideas.

MODERATION MODERATION
Steven Arons, FINANCE
From Single Sourcing to
Diversified Financing
Financing is a core part of any company’s strategy. To rely on just
one source was acceptable a couple of years ago, but is a major risk
nowadays. Therefore, Techem decided to diversify its funding and
supplement traditional bank credit with two corporate bonds of different
sizes and maturities. How did they go about it? What were the
main aspects to consider? And what can other companies learn from
them when trying to prudently diversify their sources?
