You want your Management Buy Out to happen, but where can you find the funds you need? How do you value the business? How can your secure the backing of key stakeholders? Lenders and investors are professionals who will only lend or invest in businesses where they rate the management. This is where adding a virtual finance director (VFD) to your team will really boost your chances of landing the deal. Our experienced VFDs work with Lenders and Private Equity providers to secure funds, and love making good deals happen.
Are you an Owner Manager wishing to sell on your business to a younger and ambitious Management Team? Or you might be a senior Manager or Director who would love to buy out an existing shareholder? Either way the rewards for a successful deal can be substantial.
How can you navigate your way through the many complexities of doing such a deal? You will need to evaluate whether an MBO can be pulled off, negotiate the Valuation, and to understand how much funding could be raised to support the deal. See our MBO Deal Key Stages for more info.
