Optimizing value through acquisition and deal flow
For most businesses, supplier costs represent 60% – 70% of revenues. For investors, this means that external costs have a significant impact on top and bottom-line business performance, as well as acquisition and sale price.
At Proxima, we work with PE firms to profile and accelerate benefits delivery from supplier costs.
This helps our clients hit the ground running, speed up interest pay down, and optimize EBITDA on exit. We also build functions to run in-life management and value delivery where there’s no procurement or a fledgling capability.
Procurement improvement is a low-risk, high ROI area of focus for PE-backed companies seeking to maximize shareholder returns.

We are practitioner-led. Our people bring real-world industry experience and adopt a hands-on approach to the challenges and opportunities within Private Equity. Prevalent in the market, with leading brands trusting Proxima as their procurement partner, we bring fresh, relevant, actionable insight from across the industry and beyond.
Cost transformation can be addressed quickly and at any stage in the investment cycle, creating rapid and sustainable value. This will result in increased cash flow and improved EBITDA, which will have a material impact on investment returns by contributing to a higher exit value and reducing debt.

- Developing and implementing procurement plans and strategies.
