The MBO Journey – Expert Guidance with a Personal Touch
Taking ownership of a business through a management buyout is an exciting, often once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
I’m David Griffiths, a corporate finance advisor, chartered accountant, and nice chap. I aim to make this transition as smooth, informed, and successful as possible. I support my clients every step of the way.
Firstly… I need to take the time to understand your business and your aspirations! The MBO process involves working together as a team.
This is likely your first acquisition; you may feel out of your depth. But don’t worry. I believe in open, transparent communication, so regular check-ins will ensure you stay informed, answer your questions, and address any concerns.
- Every MBO is unique
So, I tailor financial solutions to fit business needs. - Explore funding options
Take options like loans, revolving finance, and deferred consideration and break them down into pros and cons so you can make informed decisions. - Putting together a business plan and financial forecasts
To prove the transaction is viable and can service debt repayments and working capital requirements. - Connecting you with the appropriate funders
Funders with common sense who understand and have an appetite for transactions. In many cases, this will not be a high-street bank. - When it’s time to negotiate
I’ll be right there with you, ensuring the terms work in your best interest. - Once funding is in place
I will work with solicitors to ensure the transaction progresses smoothly to completion.
I’m more than just your accountant—I’m your sounding board. I’m here whether you need strategic advice or someone to discuss your next move.
