Finance Ecosystem Roundtable hosted by Price Bailey

Join B4 Members from the Finance Ecosystem as they share challenges, successes and advice with each other in our next Finance Ecosystem Roundtable discussions hosted by Price Bailey at The Quad in the Carfax Room.

Topic: Exploring Management & Employer Buyouts

About the discussion

Exploring MBO's and Employee Ownership/Buyouts: Management buyouts are a common route for SME's and increasingly Employee Ownership, particularly in people based businesses, are popular. Simon will take us through the themes, talk about the roles of management and founders/owners and describe how an MBO or Employee Ownership can be a "safe" way of exiting, under the radar of the wider world, compared to a sale process with third parties. Simon will touch on valuation, funding, tax, timing and commercial matters.
