Management Buy-Outs & EOTs

We advise on every aspect of an MBO or Employee Ownership Trust — structuring, negotiation, funding, and project management — so that the business transitions cleanly to its next ownership.

MBOs and EOTs have different mechanics but the same human centre: the people who built the business are the people taking it forward. The transaction has to honour that.

We work with management teams and shareholders together, holding both sides of the deal honestly. We arrange the funding, structure the consideration, and run the timetable.

EOTs in particular have become a serious option for owner-managers wanting a measured exit with strong cultural continuity. We have a clear view on when they work and when they do not.

Founder-shareholders considering succession; management teams ready to acquire; companies with mature culture suitable for an EOT.

Let's talk
