Story
You will hear a lot about venture capital, debt financing, and much more but most times, private equity is mentioned in passing as one of the ways of raising funds for a business. Nobody talks about how to use private equity to raise money for businesses and nobody talks about how to venture into private equity as an investor. It seems like something that only big monied people can use. But that’s not the case; ordinary people like you and I can invest in private equity firms and make tidy returns on investment.

Publisher's Summary
You are about to get a full glimpse into the inner world and workings of private equity to use it as an investor with confidence knowing fully well what you are getting yourself into!
Of all the ways of raising capital, private equity is perhaps one of the least talked about methods.
You will hear a lot about venture capital, debt financing and much more but most times, private equity is mentioned in passing as one of the ways of raising funds for a business.
Nobody talks about how to use private equity to raise money for businesses and nobody talks about how to venture into private equity as an investor. It seems like something that only big monied people can use.
But that’s not the case, ordinary people like you and I can invest in private equity firms and tidy returns on investment.
That’s not all; ordinary businesses (not just tech unicorns) are increasingly tapping into private equity funds to finance their growth and operations.
Are wondering how to "get in" into the world of private equity, whether as an investor or a business seeking private equity financing?
