When founders or shareholders consider exiting a business, the transition must be handled with care. One powerful method is the Management Buy-Out (MBO) — where a company’s current executives purchase the business.

Why Choose an MBO?
  • Preserve legacy: Retain the company’s culture and values.

  • Empower leadership: Motivates management to perform at higher levels.

  • Continuity: Reduces operational disruptions during ownership transfer.

  • Investor appeal: Proven management often eases financing.

Our Recent Case

A mid-sized engineering firm was preparing for a founder exit. We helped structure an MBO that empowered the internal management team and aligned with Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) goals.

Through strategic funding and risk mitigation, the company achieved a seamless transition. Within 18 months, they saw a 35% growth in revenue and retained 100% of their top clients.
