The key to getting the best price when buying a business out, is understanding the dynamics of the process and the business. As a manager looking to buy your own business you are in a very complicated position.

You need to consider and achieve all of the following goals:

• Negotiate the best price from your employer;
• Compete with potential trade interest;
• Find bank and venture capital funding;
• Structure a deal that the business can support going forward;
• Negotiate a deal with the bank and the venture capital firm;
• Negotiate legal agreements with all of these parties.
• RUN THE BUSINESS!

Each one of these can be a full time job and each one has its own unique pitfalls. At PCF our aim is to minimise the time required to be fully comfortable that all of these areas are being handled correctly. We do this through experience and skill but also thorough modelling of the transaction. A management buy out is supported by quite complex financial engineering and at PCF we believe that the person who understands the dynamics of these finances the best has the strongest possible position at the negotiating table. Therefore we model the transaction in detail with your team to enable you to be the person in this position. In addition, we provide a full lead advisory service giving clients the time to run the business effectively.
