Post Investment Value Creation Programs
AssuranceBox works alongside financial and strategic sponsors to provide post investment value creation support by using many of the traditional tools of private equity combined with local partnerships and expertise that mitigates investment risks. We seek to work with fund managers and companies to collaborate with our team to jointly plan and execute value creation programs.
While serving business owners and PE funds, we add shareholder value through planning and implementing programs across a number of areas including revenue growth acceleration, M&A, improved governance & risk management, de-carbonization initiatives, ESG/impact monitoring and reporting systems and other initiatives to deliver improved financial performance and impact outcomes.
We focus on establishing progressive partnerships with sponsors in which our mutual interests are aligned with the common goal of growing the value of the business for all stakeholders.
