My question is, why dont everybody consider private equity firms to finance them?

Check some of your recent purchases from around the time you've noticed the odor.Speak with you doctor first, and I recommend an inspection by a certified and legitimate inspection firm prior to having other companies come in and take a shot in the dark at the problem.
