| Our Services We advise and support shareholders, company directors and private equity houses on all aspects of buying and selling businesses. Specifically, we provide practical and value added advice on:
Management Buy-Outs & Management Buy-Ins We specialise in helping ambitious managers and management teams to acquire the business they currently run on behalf of their shareholders (Management Buy-Out) or buy into a business for sale (Management Buy-In). Hundreds of buy-outs/buy-ins occur each year and it remains one of the few routes that provide managers with the prospect of taking control of their own business and creating significant wealth. A management buy-out is very often a once in a lifetime" opportunity. The process is technically complex and time-consuming. It is critical that management receive specialist advice in order to seize and maximise the opportunity. We help management teams assess and unlock the opportunity, prepare the business plan, negotiate the price with the vendor, structure and raise the necessary funding and execute the transaction through to completion. All opportunities are unique and undoubtedly have issues to overcome. We have the experience to provide creative and practical solutions to these issues to make your deal happen.
