Why Pricing Matters for Private Equity & Operating Partners

Even small price improvements can deliver outsized EBITDA impact, directly influencing valuation and exit multiples. We support PE firms in identifying, quantifying and capturing this upside—rapidly and sustainably.

We help answer the critical commercial questions:

  • Where are the monetisation opportunities across the portfolio?

  • What is the pricing potential of a target pre-deal?

  • What value creation levers can be activated within the first 100 days?

  • How can pricing reinforce the equity story at exit?

"Pricing remains the most reliable and immediate lever for value creation in private equity, and our work consistently proves how quickly it translates into EBITDA and enterprise value."

"For Operating Partners, pricing is the most scalable and repeatable value-creation lever, delivering measurable impact long before broader operational changes take effect."
