Sims Venture Capital’s Post

Are PPPs another form of Joint Ventures (JVs)? OR Are JV's subset of PPPs or vice-versa? JV's is often a very commonly used term that we keep hearing in the market-place and when PPPs are talked about there's unintended confusion between the two. There are fundamental differences between the nature, structure and overall objectives of a JV and that of a PPP. One can say all PPPs are superficially JVs in their structural models however no JV can be termed as a PPP given the nature and business objectives the model aims to achieve. There needs to be sufficient awareness created especially with the public sector and end user stakeholders about the fundamental differences between a JV & PPP in order to see both models produce their optimum results. How has been your experience dealing with JVs and PPPs? Do share your thoughts and opinions... #PPP #PPPs #Publicprivatepartnership #publicprivatepartnerships

Thinking of selling your middle market company? Now is the time. As Jon notes below regarding Compass Group, almost all PE firms' funds are over-subscribed. That means they are flush with buyout cash that needs to be deployed ASAP. Update your Offering Memorandum, get it in front of the right PE firms, seize the moment.

What do you get when you have a large number of companies on the ASX who are underperforming or undervalued? Opportunities! Just ask Ron Shamgar. We have seen the classic takeover play (Eg Healthia Limited Australia by Pacific Equity Partners). Undervalued listed entity + big private equity player with plenty of experience and liquidity = growth engine. We have and we have seen the classic private equity value creation dual (Eg. Pacific Smiles Group acceptance of Crescent Capital Partners backed National Dental Care bid over Genesis Capital). We have also seeing the "major shareholder takeover" strategy (Eg. Seven group Holding's takeover of Boral and now Kin Group takeover of Pact Group Holdings Ltd). I do think there is however opportunity for the "control takeover" in the mircrocaps. A scenario where a private investor/investment company takes control of an on-market company with a view to brining a fresh approach to the entity's actions and create shareholder value. Whilst it is inherently risky, if done well the payoff could be significant. A listed entity with a renewed vision and access to capital could be a vehicle for significant growth. #asx #corporateadvisory #corporategrowth #corporatelaw #takeover
