In many cases, the management team of a company or financial sponsors see the value in a business that owners do not see.

Therefore each business owner / entrepreneur / manager should always know:

1. How much is my company currently worth?

2. Does my current capital structure maximise shareholders’ value creation?

3. Am I willing to be part of the next LBO on this company?

Weissknight advises management teams:

• Identifying locked shareholders’ value through an appropriate valuation exercise.

• Developing an appropriate buy-out strategy that balances the delicate relationship between the management team and the current shareholders.

• Determining an appropriate valuation to be successful, and the potential deal structure.

• Negotiating the transaction terms.

• Managing the appropriate process for raising the equity, debt and mezzanine necessary for the transaction.

• Guiding the buy-out team through the process.
