Private Equity 101 - Financial Modeling

The world has changed. And we must change with it.

any free case tutorials online?

Didn't we already discuss this in another forum? The tutorial is solid, and you will learn how to build a model along with relevant concepts. But, you won't get as much as you would from an in-person session. Of course, this costs under $100, which is 10-20% of what competing in-person products charge. If you are looking to learn LBOs for an interview or general career prep, I would recommend PE 101. If you want to work at Blackstone tomorrow, I would go elsewhere and spend more.

Hi,

I was curious how this modeling training compares to LBO section of Wall Street Prep?

If someone already went through WSP training, would there be many overlaps between these two trainings?

Thanks.

So I thought PE 101 was alright. They kind of gloss over a lot of areas that in a real model I assume would be a lot more detailed. Not terrible, but not great.

WSP LBO model is more focused on LBO Analysis for Valuation purposes... Although the concepts involved are the same (leverage, sources & uses, exit EBITDA multiples, etc), they are still slightly different. For example, we don't see any returns calculation in WSP. They just have some inputs as IRR to derive the maximum purchase price/equity value for a business given a certain debt/EBITDA ratio.
