The private equity investor will generally be represented on the board of the company so that they can actively support management in determining the strategic direction of the business.Private equity investments can be sub-divided according to the size of the company acquired, its development stage and the type of financing provided by the private equity firm. The Permira funds are primarily involved in medium to large buy-outs. This means that they tend to acquire sizeable businesses with a long-standing trading history and a strong market position.
