Some companies are already in business and are doing well but seek private equity investments so that they can expand their business. In some cases these companies know that they have a winning formula and just need an injection of capital to expand in a certain way. Some times this means paying to bring in talent, buying new assets or many other things. These companies are willing to give up equity in return for this capital.

It many cases these investments can be very risky but they can have massive returns for the people and companies who made these private equity investments.
