The most important financial decision a business makes is not how to raise capital \u2014 it is how to allocate it. In biotech, every asset competes for finite capital. In growth-stage companies, every initiative competes for limited management attention. The discipline of deciding what not<\/em> to fund is worth as much as any individual investment decision.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f9f9f7″ custom_padding=”100px||100px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1100px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_letter_spacing=”1px” text_line_height=”2em” header_2_font=”Playfair Display|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”38px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font=”Poppins|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#edbb5f” header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_letter_spacing=”2px” header_3_line_height=”2em” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n In most PE-backed businesses, pricing is managed through sales convention rather than financial discipline. A 1% improvement in price realisation has a disproportionate EBITDA impact.
