Management Buy-Outs (“MBOs”)
To find out more about this service click here to E-mail Haslers
Very few managers have the opportunity to buy the business that they manage. Those that do have the opportunity have rarely had previous experience of a management buy-out, so inevitably knowledge and experience of the process rests with specialists.
Haslers Corporate Finance LLP tend to be advising on several management buy-outs at any one time, often helping set transactions up from the start for vendors or management.
Haslers Corporate Finance LLP will help identify, analyse and resolve the many complex issues to deliver a successful buy out at a realistic price, and with an appropriate financial structure.
We can help to protect management from risk and can provide straight-forward, practical assistance with:
- Conducting an initial feasibility study of the business, including its future prospects and recommending strategies to increase the chances of success
- Preparing a strategic business plan, including an indicative business valuation
- Build bespoke financial modelling and assumptions into the business plan
- Creating an appropriate capital structure for the business
- Identifying potential funders and investors, and introduce you to them
- Negotiating with financial backers and vendors
- Minimising tax payable, both business and personal
- Managing the whole MBO process for you to allow your management team to stay focused on the day-to-day operations
- Project management of other professionals such as lawyers, pensions specialists and tax advisors, through to completion
Our objectives are to:
- transact a deal fair to all parties;
- ensure minimal business interruption throughout the process; and
- complete the transaction in a seamless manner within a prescribed timescale.
