Management Buyouts
If you are a senior management candidate considering a buyout of your existing employer, then we can help you to effect this scenario.
Sector and geography agnostic
Regardless of sector or geographic location, we work with buyout candidates on management buyout deals for businesses with turnover typically < £25m and EBITDA <£5m.
The Process
We can help you to:
- approach the owners;
- agree the price and structure;
- introduce you to funders;
- introduce you to private equity if the transaction is a PE type deal (over £1m ebitda);
- select a legal partner to support the transaction;
- find additional management to work with you
- introduce Non Executive(s) or a Non Exec Chair.
Our service is Partner driven and totally collaborative, working with you throughout with one aim – to secure the right deal for you.
Management Buyins
If you would like to effect a management buyin, then we are keen to work with you.
We can approach the existing owners; agree deal price and structure; introduce relevant funders and legal partners and support you throughout the process to effect a successful transaction. Scenarios include management buyins; buying out fellow shareholders; undertaking the share purchase of a retiring owner/founder’s stake or, the carve out of a subsidiary from a group structure.
We have access to extensive deal flow, regardless of sector, across the UK.
Deal origination
Our contacts with accountants, corporate financiers, brokers and the PE/VC community are excellent and these generate an ongoing supply of high quality businesses looking for some form of buyout transaction. At the same time, we are continually in touch with owners of private companies (currently “off-market”) where there is likely to be a change of ownership in the near future.
The Process
We work tirelessly alongside a management buyin candidate to source a target company and subsequently effect a purchase, whether full or partial. If you are expecting to use an external funder to support the transaction, then you will be required to inject personal capital (typically £100,000+) in order to make the transaction happen.
We can work with you to effect the full process from deal origination through to transaction completion. Equally, we can introduce you to our private equity/HNW investor contacts who could work alongside you in the transaction.
Fees
Our fees are rolled into the transaction costs (and will typically form part of the funding we will achieve for you to complete the transaction). A copy of our draft engagement letter can be requested at any time. This will also incorporate an aspect of “fee swap for equity” whereby we can effectively invest alongside you, where appropriate.
If you are a senior management candidate looking to effect a transaction, we would be keen to explore how we can support you.
