Portfolio exits, run for certainty of close.
Returning capital depends on a clean exit at the right multiple. We run sell-side processes for funds with the competitive tension, buyer coverage, and discipline that exits to deadline demand.
For funds divesting portfolio companies, LePrince Group runs disciplined, competitive sell-side processes built for value, momentum, and certainty of close.
A clean exit, on time, at the number.
Fund exits live and die on process discipline and buyer access. These are the failure points we remove.
We take portfolio mandates we believe will sell, and we run them to a close the fund can underwrite.
Built for value and certainty, to deadline.
A disciplined process that protects the multiple and the timeline.
Position the asset
Equity story, VDRWe sharpen the equity story and prepare a data room that withstands institutional diligence.
Run a competitive process
Strategics, SponsorsBroad, sequenced outreach to the right buyers, managed for tension and pace.
Drive to LOIs
Competing offers, TermsWe push buyers to competing letters of intent and negotiate on price, structure, and certainty.
Close to deadline
Diligence, SPAMomentum and terms held through diligence to a clean, on-time close.
What disciplined sell-side delivers.
A weak process leaves multiple on the table and puts the timeline at risk.
A defended multiple
Competitive tension and a clean equity story protect and lift the exit value.
Certainty and speed
A sequenced process driven to decisions returns capital on the fund's timeline.
Fewer retrades
Diligence-ready preparation means the marketed value is the value that closes.
A clean exit, on time, at the number.
Competitive tension and process discipline return capital without leaving multiple on the table.
More than a single exit.
Funds do not only sell. We work across the lifecycle where it helps the return, on both sides of the table.
Carve-outs and divestitures
Selling a division or non-core asset has its own complexity. We position and separate it for a clean process.
Add-on origination
On the buy-side, we source and diligence add-ons in our sectors to build platform value.
Value creation before exit
Where a year of focused work changes the multiple, we will tell you, and help build it.
GP and management alignment
A clear, shared equity story across the GP and management strengthens every buyer conversation.
We will tell a fund when an asset is not ready to clear at the right number. A mandate we do not believe in is one we turn down.
You won't find our deals online. That is the point.
We do not publicise mandates, name clients, or announce transactions. The best outcomes are reached quietly, and confidentiality protects the seller, the process, and the price.
Confidential by default
A sale is the client's business, not our marketing. The market learns only what serves the client.
Selective by mandate
We take a limited number of companies and turn the rest down. Selectivity is the product, not a constraint on it.
Vetted and verified
If we represent a company, it is proven to be one of the best in its category, with a clear opportunity for the right buyer.
Questions sponsors ask us.
Do you run processes to a fund timeline?
Yes. Fund exits are sequenced and driven to decisions so capital is returned on schedule, without sacrificing competitive tension.
How do you protect the exit multiple?
A clean equity story, the right buyers in competition, and diligence-ready preparation that prevents retrades.
Do you work on add-ons and carve-outs?
Yes. We source and diligence add-ons on the buy-side and position carve-outs and divestitures for a clean sell-side process.
What size of portfolio companies do you advise on?
Mid-market companies of $10m to $100m+ in enterprise value, in our four sectors.
What are your fees?
Outcome-based pricing, tied to the close and the terms rather than billed hourly.
Where to go next.
Planning a portfolio exit?
Every conversation starts with the LePrince Read: our honest, evidence-based view of what a company is worth, whether it would sell, and what would change the number. Confidential, and yours to keep whatever you decide.
We take a limited number of mandates. Request a conversation if:
- The company is in the $10m to $100m+ enterprise value range
- It operates in or adjacent to our four sectors
- You want an honest read, not a flattering one
