How Lightbulb’s expert insights and tailored solutions support the private equity sector
Lightbulb Credit Ltd
Lightbulb Credit has helped 1,000’s of businesses improve their credit profiles.
In the private equity (PE) world, business credit ratings matter more during a period of restructuring than perhaps at any other time in a company’s trading history. This world relies heavily on EBIT for results, valuations and, ultimately, as the “what gets measured, gets done” end target for them. This is contrary to the credit agency view of the world based on statutory accounting results, hence the challenges for PE-backed businesses.
Where Lightbulb makes a difference
Despite these challenges, there is a simple and reliable solution. Lightbulb can support you during this process by offering unique insights into your clients' credit profiles for free. Our Founder, James Piper, has a background in treasury and PE which led him to found Lightbulb Credit in 2018. Since then, we’ve become the leading business credit improvement agency in the UK and recently also became a PE-backed business.
Following our work on several of their portfolio businesses, Foresight Group invested in Lightbulb in early 2023. This is not only a testament to the positive impact of our services, but also our understanding of the complexities of PE-backed businesses.
How are we supporting other PE-backed businesses and funds?
We support PE funds and fund managers, who see tangible value and gain immense benefits from our work. We add real value by creating a strong relationship between an investor, the management team and the business that they have backed.
