The amount of time and energy that an MBO demands is often underestimated. We offer specialist knowledge in structuring and financing these transactions to maximise the benefits, minimise potential risk factors and make sure everything runs smoothly. This means the management team can simply get on with what they’re good at – running the business – and ensuring that the company’s performance doesn’t suffer during the MBO process.
MBIs bring their own challenges too, partly because a management buy-in team is likely to conduct more thorough due diligence and may be viewed with scepticism by existing employees.
