Investment Idea Preparation - Feasibility

Hi community,

I am about to prepare investment ideas for private equity recruiting and am thinking hard about the feasibility of a deal.

There a many great assets with strong margins, solid growth, low cyclicality and customer concentration. However, what determines whether they could be an interesting asset for a deal?

I am tackling this problem from two perspectives: 1. Privat assets -> why are some assets more likely to seek capital from PE vs. others and what determines this (apart from successions with old owners/ family, secondaries or distressed assets)? 2. Public assets which are ought to get taken private -> why are some assets more ripe for a take private than others?

Looking forward to your ideas.
