It is also essential in an MBO that you have access to the right Funders and that you present the opportunity in a format that investors are used to seeing MBO opportunities presented.
The vendor's advisor will be aiming for the maximum possible price for the vendor and investors to maximise their funds return for their investors. It is your advisor's job to manage these factors to ensure that you receive the maximum possible equity stake in your MBO, everyone else in the process will be using seasoned and top drawer professionals, you need someone with the experience and skills to match them.
