Private equity has become a significant alternative to capital markets for companies in China seeking capital. The private equity landscape is maturing and opportunities for private equity houses to complete transactions are expanding rapidly. However competition for deals is becoming more intense and the regulatory framework more complex. A successful private equity house needs advisors with a wide network, deep industry knowledge, good links to regulators, and experience supporting transactions in any location.

Private equity houses have historically relied on strong domestic growth and buoyant capital markets to generate their returns in China are finding that they are having to work more proactively with their portfolio companies to build value. KPMG's Advisory practice possesses a wide range of skills that can address issues from releasing cash from working capital to streamlining business processes, from strengthening risk management frameworks to defining ways to outsource non-value added activities.

We are delighted to introduce you to our Private Equity team: over 90 professionals in China dedicated to the Private Equity sector and experienced in providing advice from fund structuring and deal origination, through to due diligence and contract negotiation, process improvement, refinancing and exit.
