How is private equity beneficial to overall economy? 
Legrand electric appliance manufacturer, Picard Surgelés chain of frozen foodstore, travel reservation system Amadeus, what do these companies have in common ? They all benefited from professional private equity influx. Private equity investors finance their participations' growth, thus enabling the development of start-ups that banks would not have otherwise funded, of groups that do not have enough equity to sustain their growth or fuel their R&D or of financially-troubled companies in need of restructuring.

Private equity is thus not only beneficial on the financial but also on the strategic, organisational and human resource sides.
