Acquisition Finance
MBO Finance (Management Buyout Finance)
Management Buyout (MBO) Finance provides funding to enable an existing management team to acquire the business they run. It is commonly used as part of succession planning, owner retirement, or shareholder exit, allowing continuity of leadership while transferring ownership.
MBO transactions are typically funded through a combination of management equity and structured debt, such as senior loans, mezzanine finance, or vendor loan notes. As independent commercial finance brokers, we work closely with specialist lenders, private debt funds, and professional advisors to structure MBO finance solutions that are aligned with the business’s cash flow, growth plans, and long-term objectives.

LBO Finance (Leveraged Buyout Finance)
Leveraged Buyout (LBO) Finance provides funding to support the acquisition of a business using a combination of equity and borrowed capital. The debt element is typically secured against the target company’s assets and future cash flow, allowing investors or acquiring entities to complete transactions without committing the full purchase price upfront.
LBO transactions often involve structured funding such as senior debt, mezzanine finance, unitranche facilities, or vendor loan notes, depending on deal size and complexity. As independent commercial finance brokers, we work with banks, private debt funds, and specialist lenders to structure LBO finance solutions that are aligned with the target business’s earnings, growth strategy, and exit plans.
