Operating Partnership

Operators in your corner, from diligence to exit.

01The model

Operating Partnership is built for private equity. Advait acts as your operating partner across the investment lifecycle — pressure-testing the thesis at diligence, driving the value-creation plan post-close, and engineering exit readiness — with operators embedded alongside management.

It can be engaged for a single asset or standardised across a portfolio to build institutional operating capability that compounds deal after deal.

02The journey

How the engagement runs

01

Diligence

Operational underwriting of the thesis and day-one planning.

02

Value creation

Embedded execution of the 100-day and multi-year plan.

03

Exit

Operational professionalisation and diligence-grade readiness for sale.

03When it fits

Best suited to

Funds wanting embedded operating capability
Portfolio companies executing a value-creation plan
Buy-and-build platforms needing a shared-services backbone
Assets approaching exit that need professionalising

Commercials & risk

Flexible structures combining retainer, project fees and value-linked components tied to realised EBITDA or exit outcomes, aligned to the fund's economics.

What you control

The fund and management retain governance; Advait embeds operators accountable for delivery.

04How it is run

Governance, transition and the machinery beneath it

Governance & oversight

Advait operators sit inside the portfolio company alongside management and report into the fund's deal partner through a value-creation steering committee. The initiative register, weekly execution cadence and monthly value-creation review keep the programme visible and honest, with realised impact reconciled to the management accounts.

Transition methodology

Engagement ideally begins at diligence, so the operating thesis is pressure-tested before close and the 100-day plan is ready on day one. Post-close we validate the thesis against ground truth, sequence the initiative register with named owners, and stand up governance before the organisation reverts to business as usual.

Technology & security

We bring value-creation tracking, management reporting and — for platform deals — the shared-services architecture that lets bolt-ons integrate in weeks. All portfolio and fund information is handled under information-barrier protocols and SOC 2-aligned controls.

How it scales

Engage for a single asset or standardise the playbook across the whole portfolio to build institutional operating capability that compounds deal after deal.

05Held to account

The metrics this model is measured on

01EBITDA impact realised against the value-creation plan
02Initiative milestone adherence and time-to-value
03Working-capital release and cost-out run-rate
04Exit-readiness and bolt-on integration speed
06The decision

Why leaders choose it — and where it is not the fit

Why leaders choose it

    Operators who deliver outcomes, not advisors who deliver decks
    Operating capability embedded across diligence, value creation and exit
    A repeatable playbook that builds institutional capability across the portfolio
    Commercials aligned to realised EBITDA and exit outcomes

Where it is not the fit

    Designed for private-equity economics and governance, not general outsourcing
    Most powerful when engaged early — value is harder to create late in the hold
    Requires management alignment for embedded operators to be effective
Start the conversation

Better businesses are built through better operations.
