M&A Awards Belgium 2019 | Pitch Best PE Growth Capital deal

Private equity provides growth capital to enterprises not quoted on a stock market. The best private equity growth capital deals are defined as exit deals where the value creation process and the quality of the exit can be judged​. 

Nominated deals are determined by the strategy behind the deal, the complexity of the transaction, evidence of great and authentic leadership of the management, innovative deal, a competitive exit price and the development of a strong, progressive culture and wider contribution to all stakeholders. 

Growth factors such as revenue, EBITDA, employment, new markets, innovation, etc. are decisive for the jury.

There is no cap on the size of the deal. 
This can be a majority or a minority interest in a company.
The selling party is a private equity investor or family investor.
