  • 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 a good flow of deals across the UK in diverse sectors.

Deal origination

Our contacts with accountants, corporate financiers, brokers and the PE/VC community are very strong and generate a good supply of quality businesses looking for some form of buyout transaction. At the same time, we are continually in touch with owners of private companies 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. These deals always require a capital injection of personal funds (typically £150,000+) on the part of the buyin candidate to make the transaction happen.

We can work with you to effect the full process from deal origination through to transaction completion or alternatively, we can introduce you to our private equity/HNW investor contacts who will lead 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). We shall be pleased to forward a copy of our draft engagement letter.  We will also consider investing 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.
