So much of value creation in private companies remains hidden behind a veil of secrecy, or myth—and that’s one of the reasons some of the private capital research conducted by John Paglia, Rob Slee, and others is so enjoyable.  John has just released a new survey of private business owners and investors that includes cost of capital expectations for many business decisions including acquisition, financing, and internal investment.  Results are free to any one who participates so BVWire readers might want to take a moment now.
