Management buy-in/ buy-out
Ever dreamt of acquiring an ownership interest in the business that you have been managing, or even in another business that you are familiar with? If you are part of a management team looking to achieve a substantial equity interest in a business, either by way of a management buy-in (MBI) or management buy-out (MBO), our services may just be what you need to realise that dream. At Grant Thornton Corporate Finance Pte Ltd, we have the expertise as well as the support from other member firms of Grant Thornton International to advise management on the principle stages of MBI and MBO, facilitating a smooth ownership transfer without major business interruption.
Management buy-in (MBI)
A management buy-in or MBI is the purchase of a business by an outside team of managers who plan to manage the business actively themselves.
Management buy-out (MBO)
A management buy-out or MBO is the purchase of a business by its existing management team who after the transaction will have substantial interests in the company.
