The MBO process generally involves several key steps:
Feasibility Study: Assess whether an MBO is viable and identify potential sources of financing. Valuation: Perform a detailed valuation of the business to determine a fair purchase price. Financing: Secure the necessary financing from banks, private equity firms, or other sources. Negotiation: Negotiate the terms of the buyout with the current owners. Due Diligence: Conduct a thorough due diligence process to identify any potential problems. Completion: Finalize the transaction and transition management control.
