Sponsor Interview | The £5m Business That’s Harder to Manage Than the £50m One: Why Complexity (not scale) is Forcing PE Firms to Rethink Finance Infrastructure

A £5m business can become harder to manage than a £50m business when growth introduces multiple entities, currencies, acquisitions, revenue streams and reporting requirements – without the infrastructure to keep everything visible. For PE firms under pressure to create more value in tighter timelines, that complexity can quickly become a drag on performance.

Marvin Rogers, Principal Consultant, Private Equity & Scale-Ups, Sage, explores what happens when finance infrastructure fails to keep pace with portfolio growth.

In this interview, Marvin examines how PE firms can build the visibility needed to understand where value is really being created, identify hidden EBITDA opportunities and prepare finance functions for the next stage of growth.
