Management buyout (MBO)
There comes a time when, as an entrepreneur, you think about the next decisive step for you as an entrepreneur or for your business. Whether that means selling your company, acquiring another company, or looking for funding for your business. We would be happy to help you.
Management buy-out in het kort
In a management buyout, you sell your company to the incumbent management. This is a logical step when looking at business succession because you have built your company together with a strong management team and you know the company inside out. The continuity of your business is reasonably assured and management will naturally step in as the new DGA. With a new impetus and often new financing, room is created to commit to change, growth and innovation. The process of a management buyout can be quick, but a period of about 6-9 months may be needed to get all the ins-and-outs and legal and financial issues right for both parties.
Het proces van een natuurlijke bedrijfsopvolging
A well-nigh natural succession
A management buyout is a natural way for business succession. After all, you have built your company with a strong management team that knows the company inside out and helped build it. So it makes sense to consider business transfer to your MT. Are there people in your company who stand up and are interested in acquisition? Do the incumbent managers have enough entrepreneurial blood? And is it financially manageable? The business transfer doesn't always have to be about the highest price. You want to help your successor(s) in the saddle, but of course you also want to monetize some of the accumulated wealth. A decision for a management buyout is therefore often a mix of price, feeling, click and favor factor.
Financing a management buyout
Een zittend management heeft niet zomaar het kapitaal beschikbaar om jouw bedrijf over te nemen. Doordat je onderneming al een bewezen bestaansrecht en verdiencapaciteit heeft, zijn investeerders en bankiers meer geneigd om een investering te doen of een lening te verstrekken. Ook regionale ontwikkelingsmaatschappijen (ROM) kunnen een interessante oplossing zijn voor een financieringsvraagstuk. De ROM’s hebben kapitaal beschikbaar en willen graag werkgelegenheid in de regio behouden. De nieuwe ondernemers kunnen de participatie door een ROM vaak ook deels gebruiken om in verdere groei en innovaties te investeren. Tot slot kun jij als verkoper ook de rol van kapitaalverstrekker op je nemen. Daarbij gaan dan wel andere belangen meespelen, want de lening die je verstrekt is ‘risicokapitaal’ en zul je ook als zodanig moeten beoordelen. Je hebt daar een langere horizon voor nodig en vertrouwen in het management en het bedrijf dat je overdraagt.
