About Management Buyout Calculator
Joe, who reads what UK MBO lenders publish on their own pages and the statutes a buyout runs into, and builds them into a calculator.
Why this site exists
Most MBO guides quote ranges with no source. Here each lender figure is from the lender's own page and each rule from the statute, dated.
Who it is for
Management teams and buyers working out how to pay for a UK business.
What is on this site
One question, "management buyout calculator", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- MBO finance: what UK lenders publish on their own pages: MBO finance in the UK: published loan ranges from Shawbrook, OakNorth, Mercia, FW Capital and Clifton Private Finance, from £25,000 to £25m.
- Vendor loan notes in an MBO: how much a seller can defer: Vendor loan notes in a management buyout: Harper James says up to 50% of the price may be deferred over 3 to 4 years; Clifton's example defers 20%.
- MBO by company buyback: the CTA 2010 and Companies Act rules: Buying out a shareholder through a company purchase of own shares: capital treatment, the five-year ownership condition, HMRC clearance and the 60 and 28-day returns.
