Leveraged transaction: Management buy out & buy in

Aelios Finance supports and follows up involved, experienced, management teams to help them either take over the activity they are currently managing, or a business identified in their sector of expertise. In this type of operation, Aelios Finance intervenes by structuring the necessary delicate balance between the interests of the take-over team, the sellers and the operators financing the deal.

Their extensive knowledge of the M&A and funding environment, along with their detailed comprehension of the "real" business world makes Aelios Finance the ideal partner for any LBO or MBO project.

Aelios Finance is involved in these types of transactions in two ways:

Take-over team negotiation and financing support
Aelios Finance participates as a full member of the take over team by supplying a host of important skills to help the successful completion of the MBO/MBI: Unique financing experience (cf. our practices: financing), great experience in acquisitions operations (cf. our practices: Mergers-Acquisitions) and an in depth understanding of small- and mid-size business operations.

Transfer process undertaker on behalf of the Seller
Aelios Finance can also put its vast knowledge of the investment Universe and understanding of the drivers and pitfalls of the entrepreneurial world at the disposal of a company to optimize the outcome of the project



 Aelios Finance's added value

An MBO/MBI is three complex operations in one: capital raising, search for structured debt (senior, mezzanine and/or high yield), and an acquisition all within a proprietary environment at the core of a business. Within this framework, beyond the added value usually brought by our teams to Funding and M&A processes, Aelios Finance delivers clear benefits to its clients through management of individual delicate situations::

Independence and arbitration between take-over team and sellers
Stress & conflict management between investors, lenders and the take-over team
Confidentiality and discretion

Aelios Finance offers a proven methodology and hard-to-find knowledge that will enable you to successfully manage complex MBO/MBI operations.
