Frequently Asked Questions

Vendor Initiated Management Buy Outs (VIMBOs) follow a similar process to Management Buy Outs, with the difference that in this instance the company owners approach the existing management team and enquire whether they would like to buy the company out.

One of the main benefits for a business owner is that they can minimise their risk whilst still realising the value they have created in the business. The management team use the cash resources of the business to finance the deal, which means that no third-party funding is required. This means that there is less financial risk for the business. The vendor may also maintain an equity stake, including receiving profits and having an oversight of the succession taking place. This is a great opportunity (and a tax-efficient way) for family business succession, when handing down a company to the next generation in the management team.
