Private Equity Consulting
Delivering accelerated value creation across multiple industries
LaneOPX serves the private equity sector with a simple mission: increase the financial value of the client’s enterprise rapidly and effectively. With laser-like focus, LaneOPX’s hands-on experience at managing companies addresses business issues that run across the enterprise— many of which owners or shareholders are unaware even exist. By channeling deep experience in revenue development and operational excellence, LaneOPX harmonizes operations for maximum efficiency and effectiveness, which leads to an immediate increase in financial value.
We operate in the low to mid-market sector for manufacturing and distribution/service companies typically ranging in revenue from $25M to $200M. From synchronizing sales and operations and implementing lean practices to increasing revenue and margin through analytical methods and/or education and training, the LaneOPX team provides resources to create, revise, and enhance business processes across the enterprise. Our aim never wavers: increase value while reducing both risk and cost with simultaneous financial improvement. Our risk/reward ratio analysis is a key metric and driver of quantitative performance measurement. Developing and instituting high-impact business practices that create a more favorable risk/reward ratio is the main thrust of our engagement.
We are not theorists. We execute.
