Current company

The Proaction Group

Business Consulting and Services · 39 employees · Founded 1995 · Chicago, Illinois, United States

The ProAction Group is the “Go-To” Operational Resource focused on Private Equity/Portfolio companies. While the majority of our clients and work is PE-based, we also provide the same services to private and public companies that are committed to improving their businesses. We identify opportunities, prepare strategies, and implement operational improvements and recommendations to increase the value of the business. Many times this is a follow up to and complements a previously generated Quality of Earnings Report for business owners or private equity groups. We obtain measurable results and our clients confirm EBITDA gains of 3-10X our fees. We have deep experience in the deal environment and Private Equity. We are highly-responsive, and we know how to interact with deal teams, lenders, and other advisors in a time-efficient and productive manner. We understand the importance of “showing well” to a target acquisition. We know how to interact constructively with target company management. We serve private equity firms as follows: 1. During Due Diligence: We complete an Operational Diligence pre-close, bringing an in-depth granular operational focus to the diligence team, scalability to the operation and quantified increases in EBITDA. Post Close: We act as a resource extension, working with your management team to accelerate the realization of the investment thesis by implementing lean manufacturing, global and strategic sourcing, quality systems, sales and operations planning, and inventory planning as needed. To ensure sustainability, we transition to a coaching and monitoring role to assure scalability and support specific initiatives. Existing Portfolio Companies: We apply Lean Best Practices to help Private Equity Groups maximize the value of stagnate or under preforming portfolio companies. Our people typically have 15+ years of experience with companies that have a reputation for using best management practices.
