The Management Buy-Out Centre offers swift, discreet, professional, un-conflicted and tailored advice to management teams seeking financial backing to buy from the existing owners the businesses they currently run (buy-outs) or other businesses (buy-ins). If the seller is willing, and the business and team are good, this will culminate in the deal being completed, with funding being arranged from a combination of private equity and other sources. We introduce management teams to financial backers for all types of transaction customarily funded by private equity, including turnarounds and special situations, growth/development capital and both primary and secondary transactions. The minimum deal size we handle is typically £10m; there is no upper limit. Our primary geographical focus is the UK and Western/Central Europe, but we have connections in the US and Asia, so may be able to help managements seeking backing to acquire businesses globally. The Management Buy-Out Centre assists teams in the assessment and development of the business plan, introductions to the optimum investors, securing of funding at the right terms and the closing of the transaction. Our main job is then done, but we can also continue our involvement with the team and the business if wanted. Our services are usually free to qualifying management teams. We are normally paid on successful completion of a transaction; our fees form part of the deal costs payable by the investor.
