A management buyout is, as its name suggests, the management team of a business buying the business they manage.
Management buyouts (MBOs) are popular routes when majority shareholders want to retire or if the management team feel they can develop the business further and realise its potential.
An MBO can also provide a way for the owners of a company to sell off part of their business after deciding that a particular division will no longer be its core focus.
A management buyout can be very exciting, with big plans being made for the future of the business. They can also be complex and time consuming. When you need to ensure the day to day running of the business is not impacted, instructing a proactive and experienced commercial solicitor to deal with the legal aspects of the transaction is essential.
