How Auxilium can help you
As a business owner, you’ve no doubt been focused on building your business and you are now thinking of preparing for exit.
Auxilium recognises that to start this process, the first step can be becoming more removed from the day to day operation of the business, allowing you to exit the business in an efficient manner without devaluing it. When the time is right we can assist you to find and introduce a highly capable and experienced Director to “take over the reins” of the business.
The new Director could effect a full or part purchase of your business. This could be in the form of either a management buyin (MBI) or management buyout (MBO). An MBI involves bringing in an external individual to lead the existing management team in purchasing all or part of the owner’s share capital. An MBO is a transaction by an individual who has been with the business for some time, likely no less than 6 – 12 months.
If, as a business owner, you are “paternalistic” in your outlook, then one of these type of transactions can be a very effective way of securing your long term future legacy.
Are you a business owner who wants to grow their business and exit at a later date?
We can assist you to put procedures in place that will preserve and protect your legacy, by retaining the staff, the culture, and the business. Post-deal, we will look to build on the business you have developed. In other words, “business as usual”. We can provide a realistic and commercial solution involving a capable, ambitious and very experienced management team who will look to continue to trade the business for years to come and secure your personal legacy well into the future.
A buyin or buyout can enable an owner to depart in a more controlled manner than some other methods of sale. These transactions can be an effective way of overcoming some of the common issues with the sale of a business, particularly a trade sale, whereby the incoming trade buyer could negatively affect the legacy of your efforts through rationalisation, redundancy programmes and site closure/relocation.
At Auxilium, due to our mix of corporate finance & executive search skills we can offer business owners short, or medium term solutions, to these problems which can help to make a business more “sale ready” and/or keep a transaction progressing via the existing advisers.
