Does any seasoned investment professional here have advice on how to secure a proprietary mid-cap PE deal?
For instance, you dug out the LBO target of your dreams with an owner about to retire, how would you go about approaching the owner without him/her going straight to a banker or starting to shop around for other potential buyers? How do you deal with the topic of valuation?
Any tips or stories would be insightful, thanks!
