  • Unlocking and participating in a Management Buy Out could lead to significant personal wealth and attracive investor returns but it can create a potential conflict of interest with the owners of the business.

  • Raising development capital,whether it is to fund organic growth by way of acquisition, to buy out a minority shareholder or undertake a partial exit, could be the ideal solution.
