Management Buy-Outs
In a management buy-out (MBO), the leadership team takes over the company they run. This creates a unique set of challenges: aligning interests with existing owners, securing financing and structuring a transaction that is sustainable for all parties.
We advise management teams and owners through the complete MBO process, from early feasibility analysis and valuation to financing, negotiations and closing.
Typical situations
Entrepreneur wants to exit and hand over to management
Management initiates a buy-out of a corporate subsidiary
Financial sponsor supports a management-led transaction
