For vendors, the management buy-out can sometimes represent the most viable exit route, protecting the integrity of the business and it’s staff and allowing an easier negotiated position for exit, often without the imposition of the same level of warranties.

Typically we will lead all stages of the buy-out, including:

•  Establishing feasibility of the buy-out, so that any offer put forward is sufficiently attractive from the vendor’s perspective, realistically priced, structured and fundable.

•  Negotiating the main terms of the transaction with the vendor including price and structure.

•  Developing the business plan and financial forecasts in conjunction with the buy-out team for submission to potential funders.

•  Leading discussions and negotiations with potential funders so that the most appropriate funding offers are selected.

•  Project managing the transaction to completion once the preferred funder(s) have been chosen.

Our input is key at the feasibility stage. We see many instances where vendors and buy-out teams spend considerable time agreeing a transaction before we get involved, where the price or structure cannot be funded.
