Management buyout
A buyout figure both sides can stand behind.
When the management team buys the business, the valuation has to be fair to the owner selling and the team buying. An independent figure keeps the deal — and the relationship — intact.
Independence matters most when both sides know each other.
An MBO is the one transaction where buyer and seller often have years of trust between them — and the most to lose if the price feels one-sided. If the owner sets the number, the team suspects it's high; if the team sets it, the owner suspects it's low. An independent valuation removes that tension.
We assess maintainable earnings on a forward, post-completion basis — accounting for the owner's exit, any change in the management structure and the real run-rate of the business once the deal completes — and apply MBO-appropriate multiples benchmarked to comparable transactions. Both sides get the same report, built on the same assumptions, in 72 hours.
This is for you if…
- —You're an owner selling to your management team and want a fair, defensible price.
- —You're a management team that needs a figure a lender will accept.
- —You need a number that protects the working relationship after completion.
