What this usually involves

An MBO puts managers on both sides of the table. Clear conflict management and independent advice keep the process credible for lenders and outgoing owners.

  • Structuring newco, funding and security
  • Managing directors' conflicts of interest
  • Deferred consideration and vendor loan notes

Common questions

How are MBOs funded?
Typically a mix of management equity, bank or asset-based lending and deferred consideration from the seller.
Do we need separate solicitors?
Yes, the management team and the selling shareholders should be separately advised.
