Management Buy-In is the term applied when an outside management team buys a stake in an existing business. Typically this happens where the business is under-performing due to weak management or lack of suitable expertise or where the business growth demands a more knowledgeable and experienced management team.
The MBI enables the business to inject the depth of experience it requires and the new managers share in the future profits they generate.
Grant Thornton’s Corporate finance specialists have advised many teams through the management buy-out process, helping to secure the necessary finance, negotiating with the vendors and project managing the deal to completion.
We also have a successful MBI programme in place where, working with potential purchasers to:
- assist in the development of a business strategy;
- deal with the vendors;
- secure financial support; and
- manage the transaction to a successful conclusion leaving the new management to concentrate on running the business.
