What is a management buy-in?

A management buy-in (MBI) is similar to a management buy-out (MBO) but managers or a management group from outside the company will lead the acquisition. Given the lack of prior knowledge an MBI team will have about the business, the risks of an MBI are different. Due to this, an MBI team will generally need to conduct more thorough due diligence and expect robust warranty and indemnity protection.

The Process

An external management team will first need to gather all the information about the company that it wants to purchase. This includes doing a market analysis of the company, its buyers, sellers, competitors, suppliers and products.

The purchaser will also want to know about any competing buyers who are interested in purchasing the target company. Once rigorous due diligence is completed, the external management team will begin negotiating an appropriate price with the sellers.

Funding an MBI

Most MBIs are financed through a combination of debt and equity, although other hybrid sources may also be used. To find out all the options that are available, please contact our expert corporate lawyers who are on hand to assist.

Documentation

There will also be several other parties involved in the process, including the management team, the finance providers, the sellers and also all of their lawyers.

The main documentation that will be needed includes:

  • Board meeting minutes
  • Confidentiality agreement
  • Due diligence questionnaire
  • Heads of terms – for the acquisition and for equity
  • Stock transfer form
  • The sale and purchase agreement
