In this episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, host Jim Schleckser, joined by co-host Sharon McGuire, dives into the world of private equity, a hot topic expected to gain even more traction in the coming years. The discussion starts with an overview of private equity firms, comparing them to private mutual funds that invest pooled capital into various assets, often with a lifespan of 8-10 years. These firms face pressure to deploy their cash quickly, especially after the large sums raised during COVID-19, as sitting on uninvested money can upset investors.
Jim explains how private equity firms make money through the "2 and 20" model: a 2% management fee on invested funds and 20% of the profits. They aim for 8-12 investments to diversify risk, and the size of the firm dictates which companies they will invest in, often favoring deals worth millions or more.
The podcast highlights the challenge for business owners looking to sell minority stakes; most private equity firms prefer majority ownership for control. Even when minority deals occur, they come with significant control provisions, giving private equity firms veto power over major decisions. Family offices, which manage wealth for high-net-worth families, are one of the few entities willing to do minority deals without demanding full control.
