Growth equity firms, leveraged buyout firms, and venture capitals are all different kinds of private equity funds.

Private equity funds are managed by a general partner and are funded by limited partners. Today there are many successful private equity firms, but a lot of planning and assessing goes into creating one’s own private equity firm, below are few steps and strategies that one should think about before venturing into this business:-
