Management buyout financing
We enable experienced management teams to gain ownership in the business they run.
Helping ambitious management teams to buy their business
For most executive teams, a management buyout (MBO) is unchartered territory, and undertaking such a process may initially seem daunting. Maven understands this and has worked with over 50 management teams to help them gain ownership of the business they manage.
What we look for
Ambition
We back talented and committed management teams who share the same ambition to grow shareholder value as we do.
Experience
We support management teams with relevant sector experience who can demonstrate a clear vision and strategy for generating further growth.
Stage of growth
We support businesses with a minimum EBITDA of £1 million and can invest between £2 million and £20 million in a single transaction.
Location
We prefer to invest in UK domiciled private companies, often with overseas or global operations.
Sector
We fund MBOs across all sectors, with the quality of the people and the market opportunity at the forefront of our investment appraisal.
Future potential
We don't always expect businesses to be the finished article. We help add value to companies with a clear, credible strategy, capable of delivering growth in profit and earnings.
How we finance your MBO
Maven is actively investing capital from its institutional buyout fund as well as from a comprehensive network of family offices and high net worth individuals, who invest through our established Maven Investor Partner network.
Private Equity
Private equity can fund a change in ownership, a buy and build project or a wider M&A strategy. It can also provide equity release to founders who wish to de-risk and realise part of their personal wealth.
Working together after completion
Supportive, not intrusive
We provide insight and strategic input through board and operational engagement. It is this added value and flexibility which sets private equity apart from other forms of finance.
Strong partnership
We look to build long term positive working relationships with the people we back. We can remain flexible in our approach and take time to understand the key objectives of all stakeholders so that interests are aligned.
Shared ambition
Private equity backed businesses have been shown to grow faster. A combination of a shared vision of the management team and the added value and support a private equity partner delivers can often help to achieve exceptional outcomes.
Value creation
We have many years of collective commercial experience and access to a wide network of contacts that we can impart to help add shareholder value. Examples of this could be supporting management during complex corporate processes such as financing M&A transactions, making key introductions with new customers or suppliers, or helping you internationalise your business.
