OBO

Unlock part of the value created, without handing over the controls.

An OBO allows the business owner to sell all or part of their shares to a holding company they control, financed by debt and, where appropriate, by minority investors. You receive cash, you keep running the company, and you prepare the next step with peace of mind.

Who is it for?

• Business owners who wish to secure part of their personal wealth

• Majority shareholders who want to buy out a departing partner's shares

• Business owners preparing a family succession or bringing their managers on board

What we do

• Feasibility study and financial modelling

• Structuring of the holding company and of the deal, in liaison with your lawyers and accountants

• Search for and negotiation of bank financing and investors

• Support all the way to completion of the transaction

An OBO involves debt and risks; its suitability depends on the situation of the company and of the business owner.
