Fund an MBO with experience, not algorithms?

MBO

If you are looking to fund a Management Buy Out (MBO) then we can assist.

MBO’s are not limited to the large corporate businesses. There are many smaller, family owned businesses where a MBO would provide the ideal exit route to a vendor for the following reasons:

  • You know the purchaser
  • Confidentiality is contained in house
  • No need to expose the business to the market
  • Minimal disruption to trade and staff
  • Vendors legacy can continue
  • A part disposal can be negotiated

Many MBO candidates are deterred because of:

  • Funding has always been an issue with MBO’s especially with the high street banks having either a blanket decline policy or are only willing to consider large (often EBITA >£2m).
    Often because the complexities of a MBO are not understood by algorithms and “grey hair” is reserved for the larger transactions.
  • Advisers in Corporate Finance departments of larger accountancy practices often charge eye watering fees for relatively small transactions.

Don’t let either of these two reasons put you off, a MBO can be a lucrative life changing event:

We have access to smaller, niche funders that really do have an appetite to fund MBOs by looking at:

  • ABL –  (asset based lending) facility whereby the balance sheet assets are leveraged, or
  • Cash Flow lenders – Funding is provided as a function of EBITDA

Our team has accountancy and banking experience (as well as grey hair) and we specialise in funding Management Buy Out’s for the SME market.
