In a recent article in Franchising World, Dina Dwyer-Owens, CFE and co-chair of the Dwyer Group, describes the access to capital, growth opportunities, and strong results driven by her company’s partnership with PEGCC member firm The Riverside Company. In fact, their first partnership was so successful that Riverside reinvested in the Dwyer Group in 2014 after their seven-year investment ended in 2010. Read key excerpts from her story:
Working With Private Equity Has Boosted The Dwyer Group. “Our partnerships with private equity have driven growth, made us a bigger and better company, embraced our culture and our Code of Values, and expanded the reach of our organization beyond expectations.” (Dina Dwyer-Owens, “Private Equity Can Help Franchise Businesses Thrive,” Franchise World, 1/2016)
Partnering With Private Equity Can Address Challenges Many Franchises Face When Trying To Access Capital To Grow. “Traditional loans and other means to access capital for growth can be particularly challenging even for very well-run franchise companies. Even if you get them, bank loans can come with onerous requirements. So where can you turn for the money needed to stay ahead of the competition? The right private equity partner can be a great fit.” (Dina Dwyer-Owens, “Private Equity Can Help Franchise Businesses Thrive,” Franchise World, 1/2016)
The Right Private Equity Firm Can Deliver Expertise, Guidance, And Access To New Markets. “A great private equity firm opens doors to a variety of growth opportunities. It will work with management teams on shared goals and initiatives, bringing decades of experience to help your business expand. It could deliver expertise in a wide variety of areas, including sales and marketing, pricing, product development, lean manufacturing, and more. Additionally, a global private equity firm can help you access new markets or manufacturing options, providing feet on the ground around the world and international knowledge.” (Dina Dwyer-Owens, “Private Equity Can Help Franchise Businesses Thrive,” Franchise World, 1/2016)
