Revenue Gains from Operational Improvements

About the Episode

Businesses that are the targets of private equity investors won’t command the value they deserve because of lost revenue opportunities. Often times, lost revenue is due to inefficiencies in a business’ operations. Our guest on this edition of “Deal Talk” makes it his mission to help business owners uncover operational inefficiencies in order to increase productivity, resulting in substantial revenue growth and greater EBITDA. Tim Van Mieghem is a partner at The ProAction Group, which works with private equity firms to perform buy-side operations, due diligence, and post-close assistance to help business owners maintain operational excellence.
