About this event
Private Equity is a hothouse for working capital management: It delivers results fast in portfolio companies, and getting it right can free up cash for growth and increase exit valuations.
In this Working Capital Forum webinar, our experts will discuss the latest working capital best practices, and the specific opportunities and challenges which exist for private equity-backed businesses.
Among the topics we'll cover are:
- Why PE-backed firms are focusing on working capital
- How to make working capital a strategic priority
- Key pillars of a successful working capital framework
Whether or not you're in a PE-backed business, join us for insightful conversation and real-world examples of what works - and what doesn't - in working capital management.
