Exponent - Private equity

Exponent focuses on buy-outs and buy-ins of UK-based companies with values of between £75m-£350m.

We target companies that share three characteristics:

• they are prominent and distinctive in their market
• they are capable of operational improvement
• they are environments in which Exponent can deploy best-in-class management in order to create value.

Exponent believes companies that are prominent and distinctive by virtue of their brand, scale, market position or business model generally produce higher growth and better profit margins and are ultimately more likely to command a strategic premium on sale.

The UK mid market is sophisticated and well intermediated. Companies are therefore generally fully valued on sale and so, in our view, it is essential to have a thoroughly researched business plan to effect significant change and improvement in order to create value.

We take a proactive approach to building and supporting best-in-class management teams with the drive and ability to execute their business plans.
