PE Firm Operations & Value Creation

PE portfolio businesses pay on average 20% more on goods & services than enterprise peers

This erodes EBITDA by at least 2 percentage points — a direct drag on returns.
Traditional options (GPOs, Amazon Business, internal teams) cover only 10–20% of spend and ignore direct materials entirely.
$1M in annual savings generates approximately $8M in enterprise value at an 8× EBITDA multiple.
