What is a Management Buyout?

A Management Buyout is when a company’s existing management team purchases all (or part of) a company they manage. It can be an attractive option to the seller because the management team already understands how the business operates, so is well-placed to ensure its continued success and growth. 

How does a Management Buyout work?

Although you may be expected to make a financial contribution to the purchase of the company out of your own pocket, it’s likely that a third party funder will contribute the majority of the finance for the Management Buyout. Finance options include:

  • Asset finance – you can release cash from the assets the company owns (such as property or stocks) and use it to fund your purchase.

  • Term loans – alternative lenders can provide a cash flow term loan for up to 5 years to help fund your MBO. Receive a sum and pay it back in instalments with interest.

  • Mezzanine finance – mezzanine finance enables you to “bridge the gap” between the funds you’ve raised and the company’s purchase price.
