Stages of the Investment Decision-Making Process: Acquire, Grow, and Exit
Which stage are you in?
The investment decision-making process usually involves three main stages: acquire, grow, and exit. These typically happen over some time.
The acquisition stage occurs when a firm invests in a company. The growth stage occurs when it builds up its stake in the business and tries to increase its value. And finally, the exit stage occurs when the firm decides to sell off its stake in the business.
We assist clients in making informed investment decisions with services including pre-diligence screening, feasibility studies, deal structuring, and LBO analysis.
