Every deal is different, but most management buy-in and outs will have common challenges. Our team of professional form great working relationships with each party. Having our advisers that understand not only the dynamic of the transaction but also the personalities and psychology of those involved is essential.
We act on behalf of both the management team and sellers, along with investors for both buy outs and buy ins. The MBO / MBI process is gruelling, exerting significant pressure on management teams and those around them and for a well-managed and successful business, the risks can be significant. We at Stallion Holdings Ltd reduce the stress and the risk of failure by asking some pertinent questions before you begin, and by understanding the lessons learned by our teams who have an extensive exposure to this market.
Capabilities
Our corporate finance team have extensive experience of advising and negotiating on behalf of both MBI and MBO teams across a wide array of sectors and fully understand the complexities and challenges, as well as the benefits, of these transactions. The team can help manage the whole process, from the initial approach to existing owners, through price negotiations and fundraising, to agreement of terms and final completion.
For business owners who wish to sell and exit their business, the remaining management team may be waiting in the wings to purchase the business. In this instance, an MBO might be an appropriate exit route for a vendor to take. There are two forms of MBOs; one is undertaken by the management team who approach the owners.
