Business Services
Outsourcing is the key driver within the business services sector.
Experience and approach
The business services sector encompasses a wide range of sub-sectors, including transport, logistics and distribution, facilities management, business process outsourcing, IT services, rental services, inspection and testing, and staffing. While each is subject to its own industry dynamics, the overarching force of outsourcing is the key driver within the sector worldwide, generating strong organic growth and counter-cyclical trends. Cinven has considerable investment expertise across the sector, complemented by a large network of industry advisers and corporate contacts. We continue to see substantial investment opportunities in the sector.
