Leveraged buyout financing (LBO) is typically provided for the strategic purchase of other product lines, divisions, or companies. They can also be used for, but are not limited to management buyouts, acquisitions, divestitures, valuations and refinancings.
When doing a leveraged buyout, be prepared to:
- Raise and negotiate terms of senior, subordinated, and equity financing
- Find strategic and financial partners for these transactions
- Organize business plans
- Hire needed management personnel, where applicable
- Structure new employee benefit plans
- Communicate effectively with employees
- Negotiate long-term supply and use agreements
