Private Equity

We offer independent, bespoke support to management teams of private companies, whether backed by Private Equity or privately owned. Our focus is on the management team, helping them communicate clearly and confidently with professional investors, complementing the work of other advisors. h2Radnor specialises in shaping and delivering a compelling equity narrative that reflects each company’s distinct circumstances and strategic goals.

Equity story positioning

A strong equity story is essential for attracting investors and achieving optimal valuation in any transaction. We help leadership teams craft narratives that resonate with their audience and align strategy with investor expectations from the outset. As experienced specialists, we complement the work of M&A advisors by exclusively focusing on the strategic narrative and the key messages.

Our support includes:

  • Developing a clear, consistent, and powerful investment case
  • Tailoring messaging for:
    • Sale processes
    • Ongoing investor communications
    • IPO preparation
  • Ensuring alignment between management, investor expectations and market dynamics

Preparing for exit

As sponsors or private owners prepare to exit, or a process has begun, we ensure the equity story is current, clear, and compelling. We prepare management to articulate the investment proposition effectively to advisors and investors  –  distilling the multi-year plan into investor-ready messaging. Our advice and guidance mean management avoid the many pitfalls.

 

We maximise value through a well-prepared management team by:

  • Identifying key value drivers
  • Translating strategy into key messages
  • Creating supporting materials, often backed by third-party data
  • Building confidence and presentation skills through consistent messaging

Exit readiness

At the point of exit, a strong and confidently delivered equity story is critical to achieving a successful outcome – whether to a Private Equity sale, trade buyer or via IPO. Our role is to ensure the management team refine and deliver precise messaging that highlights the business’s strengths.

Being fully prepared – both in content and delivery – can be the difference between valuation loss and/or a deal even completing. Strong delivery improves engagement, helping optimise value by making the investment decision straightforward for the prospective buyer.

 

 

We work with our clients to deliver:

  • Collaboration with sponsors and M&A advisors
  • Ensuring strong delivery in both written and verbal formats
  • Improving investor engagement and decision-making
  • Q&A sessions so management are carefully prepared to be challenged
  • Support and training for management presentations
  • Management coaching where needed

Management coaching

We work closely with management teams to refine the delivery and build confidence in investor-facing situations. While often overlooked, how one delivers a message can be just as critical as the message itself.  Presentational ability is integral to how a story is perceived.

That’s why our advisory support typically includes coaching and rehearsal sessions, ensuring management communicate with clarity, confidence, and impact when it matters most.

 

Our process involves:

  • Face-to-face sessions with Executive and broader leadership teams
  • Candid feedback and one-on-one coaching
  • Full presentation rehearsals
  • Extensive Q&A preparation to ensure readiness for external engagement
