Management Buy-Outs “MBO”
One of the most popular forms of transaction in the UK are management buy-outs (MBOs). To successfully complete a MBO, you and your management team will need to work with an adviser who understands the potential pitfalls and knows the MBO process intimately. At Gambit, we understand the issues that a management team can face.
Although we have advised on many MBOs, we understand that every transaction is different. On the surface, the objective is usually the same - MBO teams tend to want to control their own destinies, but often that is where the similarities end.
Most management teams only ever do one MBO - so it is important to get it right. We can project manage the process and advise you at every step of the way to help you deliver a deal as an acquiring management team; and that’s when the hard work begins.
As financial advisers to MBO teams, we will work with you to ensure that:
- An appropriate price is paid for the business within the right financial structure
- Appropriate safeguards are put in place to ensure the MBO team's best possible chance of success
- Any potential problems are identified and resolved at the earliest opportunity
