Introduction to Lake Capital's Portfolio Company Services

Adding Value Beyond What Just Capital Can Deliver

 

Lake Capital partners with strong executive teams capable of managing larger, growth-oriented business services companies. Beyond capital, the companies in which we invest look to Lake to bring seasoned advice about when, where, and how to tap into resources they need to accomplish their growth plans. At times, our management partners may have to look outside their own organizations for help. Lake Capital's Portfolio Company Services (PCS) Team is able to deliver many of the support services executives need to build a larger, more successful enterprise. For our management teams, PCS represents a unique opportunity to receive best-of-breed counsel at below-market cost - with the added benefit of clear alignment of interests with management in considering the bottom-line impact of outsourced services.

Lake's PCS Team compries experienced operating executives with expertise and track records of success in areas including finance and accounting, HR, IT, strategic consulting, and marketing and communications, as well as deep general management experience. Members of the group are dedicated resources for our portfolio companies who roll up their sleeves and take on one-time or ongoing projects. PCS has addressed challenges for our management teams that have included:

 

  • Acquisition integration, including systems and infrastructure integration, organizational design, and post-merger go-to-market strategy.
  • Office openings, including lease negotiation, systems installation, and hiring of professional and administrative resources.
  • International expansion, including market analysis, service and pricing strategy, and accounting and banking support.
  • Interim executives, including CFO, HR and IT, often while a search for a permanent candidate is being conducted by PCS.

 

PCS helps our executive teams find solutions to help facilitate portfolio company growth. Because at Lake Capital, we know running a business is hard work - that human capital, ultimately makes the difference.
