The success of your private equity partnership likely will come down to such basic issues as shared goals and mutual trust. VR M&A Advisors will assist you in how to interview potential partners, so that you're comfortable with what questions to ask and what to expect for responses.

Some of the questions that VR advises to ask a private equity partner include: 

  • How "hands-on" will you be in running my company?
  • Which individuals at your firm will I work with?
  • How many seats will you take on our board?
  • What happens if the company doesn't meet growth targets?
  • How will you support our business - in bad as well as good times?
  • What industry introductions can you provide?
  • In what other companies in our industry have you invested?
  • How much capital is available to invest in my company?
  • How long do you traditionally hold your investments?
