Management buy-in

If a management team not connected with a business buys into it, replacing the existing management or joining with it, this is a Management Buy-In (MBI).

Typically successful management buy-ins result from the incoming team having a strong track record in the sector of the target business and by applying their experience and sector skills to improve it.

However, the process of a management buy-in can be complex, can involve a number of parties, and is often very time-consuming. At the same time, there might be other parties interested in acquiring the target company, so getting the right advice will maximise your chances of a successful outcome.

We can assist with the preparation of the business plan, forecasts and introductions to other advisers, debt providers and venture capitalists to achieve the best possible deal structure.

We can help you in the following ways:

• Search and identify target companies in accordance with criteria set by individuals and companies seeking growth by acquisition
• Approach targets to establish the possibility of a transaction and advise on price and structure of the deal
• Prepare a business plan
• Source the finance
