The ongoing economic uncertainty is not aiding in inspiring investor confidence in most areas. The industry figures reaffirm this by showing a decline in turnaround private equity investments between 2007 and 2011. It would therefore be fair to say that companies in the current climate would assume that turnaround investing is not something that private equity is interested in.
However, over the past 2 years things are changing. Banks have accumulated large portfolios of assets resulting in them seeking funding partners to help them exit positions in assets. Funding has also taken a more alternative path, with the individuals investing directly into the business, rather than following regulated fund structures.
Although many companies have closed between 2010 and present day, Beer & Young are still a thriving business. With the UK’s unrivalled number of active turnaround investors, where better to turn if your business is in trouble? Beer & Young are testament to the fact that there is still a market for turnaround funding.
