Eastwood Anglo work with MBO teams long before a transaction happens. We can make discrete enquiries as to the availabilty of the business and help advise on employment contracts and conflicts of interest. Our success fee structure allows management teams to investigate the opportunity without incurring large up front costs. We will act as the driving force of the transaction allowing the management team to focus on the business. This involves bringing together the sellers, the finance, the legal teams and controlling the process until the transaction is completed.

A management buyout is often a once in a life time opportunity for management teams to significantly change their own personal and financial lives. For a management buyout to happen there are three critical components, often which all three are missing.
- A Willing Seller
- Sufficient Funds
- Management Resource
Management Buy-In
When the time comes for a change in your career you need expert advice on how best to proceed. Whatever the catalyst, be it corporate re-structuring or simply a desire to find new challenges, we can help you realise your ambitions. As experienced financiers we can begin by making discreet enquiries to assess the level of serious interest and obtain price indicators. Throughout the Management Buy in process you benefit from our assessment of your overall plan for the business and assist with the structuring, financing and execution of any offer. Our relationship may even continue post-MBI in the form of a non-executive directorship on behalf of principal investors, for example.
