If you do not want to exit your business today but want to secure your financial future, our team at Quazar has multiple resources and options to complete these types of transactions. “Re-caps” are becoming more popular, especially for owners who want to “take some chips off the table.” Re-caps have the added benefit of shared financial risk and the additional expertise of the company’s new partner. Owners then have the opportunity to get a “second bite of the apple” when the company sells again in the future. Re-caps are a great reminder that a sale does not have to be all or nothing.
Quazar is experienced in representing the company selling or the acquiring management team in a management buyout. We excel in negotiations and can assist in putting together the entire capital structure package. Our experienced team understands that quality lending sources and properly structed buyout terms are crucial components to the success of management buyouts. Even in situations where management has had minimal equity, we have succeeded in getting the deal done.
We have worked with ownership groups to help them navigate the complexities of partner buyouts. When there is disagreement between partners as to price, structure, and timing, Quazar can provide the necessary input, guidance, and leadership to ensure a mutually agreeable outcome.
If you are a business owner or management team that is considering various options, a strategic alternatives analysis can be a valuable tool for achieving objectives and goals. A strategic alternatives analysis provides a clear understanding of the business's current position and potential opportunities, and it can help owners and management make informed decisions about how to navigate specific challenges, optimize timing from an M&A perspective, or decide how/when to invest in the future.
