Winning Moves: 105 Proven Ways to Create Value in Private Equity-Backed Companies

Being the Principal of a search fund looking at lower mid-market cap businesses, I often found myself pouring through hundreds of private equity books hoping to find something that focused on value creation. Much as been written about structuring deals and how to finance deals, even how to create synthetic financial instruments to leverage against. Yet, little to nothing has been written about actually creating value in the businesses that are purchased. Or when there, is it is at best some way or another saying just cut costs.In Winning Moves, Dan gives a multitude of strategies/ tactics operators and principals can implement to increase a company's cash flow and ultimately its business value. I have personally found building businesses and driving growth the most interesting and rewarding aspect of private equity and it is refreshing to see a book that is just dedicated to this part.This book is very practical, so for those that want a deep analysis why and when to use each strategy, should refer to other material in conjunction, but it's fairly easy to understand and very intuitive what tools in this Rolodex need to be used when.I'll be recommending this to the search fund/ lower mid market private equity community I know of and I also encourage any entrepreneurs in the B2B space to have a read as well - it's a great little handbook.I hope there is a version for B2C that comes out soon!
