Transaction through which an external management team or just one external manager buys thecompany itself, normally aided by external venture financing.

Our Tasks
In this case we normally set up the operation, researching the target company together with the management team or manager.

Once we are well advanced in spotting the target company, we help the management team in contacting a suitable Venture Partner for the type of operation. Either among Venture Capital funds or among investors interested in the field the Company operates in.

We can support the management team in preparing their takeover Business Plan, including a comprehensive market and competitive analysis, choice of strategy and tactical options, following state of the art methods and standards. The plan is required by the Venture Partner, the ownership of the Target Co. and often the banks.

Once the set up is complete, we aid in the negotiation by:

• Supplying initial information to the target company about the nature, scope and timing of the operation together with the Venture Co. and the management team;
• Performing analysis and giving negotiation support to the three parties on the basis of our experience;
• Helping in valuation analysis and in the analysis of the benefits of the operation to the parties.
