Banks, Private Equity & Asset Based Lenders

We provide banks, private equity firms and asset-based lenders with specialist business transformation and change management support, maximising portfolio business value and assisting organisations drive return on investment and assure capital repayment.

Banks, private equity & asset-based lenders deploy significant capital to generate medium to long-term returns, and continual business transformation and strategic renewal is essential to keep pace with a fast-changing marketplace.

Regardless, of whether it’s lending against business assets or buying businesses with the aim of increasing future value, both business models are based on three crucial aspects;

However, current economic, environmental & political issues, as well as the ongoing digital transformation of banking and private equity, continue to impact the sector and will significantly affect client viability and future capital return without a clear approach to change management.

The market conditions are certainly challenging, but we at Linea thrive in such conditions. Our culture is focused on achieving tangible business transformation solutions and our approach is tenacious; combined with our deep industry insight, we bring a meaningful difference to the sector.

We deploy our change management experience & expertise for banks, private equity firms and asset-based lenders to support clients to turnaround, transform and ultimately deliver substantial stakeholder value to business portfolios.

Working in partnership with portfolio management teams, we resolve a wide array of distress, crisis and transformational situations, from near-term liquidity challenges to supporting digital transformation and equipping organisations for sustainable future growth. We monitor, protect and enhance your interests through proactive, practical, pragmatic and seamless support.

The sector has undergone significant evolution in recent years, and the pace of change continues to accelerate, creating significant impetus for businesses in this space to adapt accordingly. This includes significant reforms to legislative frameworks in response to major recessions, as well as the transformative changes that increased digitalisation have brought to global financial markets.

As monetary policy continues to evolve and borrowing trends remain volatile in the aftermath of the pandemic, many banks, lenders & investors are having to embrace more agile, flexible and responsive business models in order to remain competitive.

However, such changes often result in reduced transparency, increased risk and pressure regarding viable capital returns, requiring clients to work harder and smarter to add value to their portfolios.

By partnering with business management teams, Linea’s experienced team of change management and business transformation specialists can play an instrumental role. We will provide stakeholder assurance, resolve problems early so they don’t continue to escalate, revise and prioritise strategic objectives and help you build internal capability to instil change cultures, which enable organisations to do more with less, exceeding customer and stakeholder expectations.
